Angry Who else does STUPID ****?!?!?!

No pics yet, camera is with the wifey!

Well, rough morning fellas. I always post about the 'good' stuff, new mods and whatnot. Well, I've said in the past how Im kinda.....well.....an idiot. I definately proved that this morning!!

I dropped the ol lady off at work this morning, and decided to run by the car wash to spray all the mud and crap off the truck (my water hose is still under snow). I spend about $8 freakin bucks "washing" the truck, then, instead of pulling out, I back up to the vacuums/trashcan. After Im done there, I continued backing out. In doing so, I notice the azzhole next to me washing his bed out, blowing mulch and bark all over the bay.

WELL, while telling myself how much of a douche that dude was, I wasn't paying attention, and backed into the mother fkn light pole, surrounded by a concrete wall!! Right in the corner of the wall, it looks like someone stabbed my bumper, split it right to the left of where the tow-ball is. Lol, I didnt even get out, I put it in D and got the hell outta there, embarrassed as hell. I stopped in another lot, and looked at the damage. I managed to get a pry-bar in there and bend everything back some, made it look a little better. But gawd damn, anything nice I have, I manage to tear it up.

Sorry for the long read, I'll get pics posted this afternoon. I didn't even wanna say anything about this, haha, but......gotta man-up. (Plus, I remember a member here trying to pull a tree over, rope broke and dented his cab good, so Im not the only retarded one, haha). SO, if anyone plans on replacing their step-bumper, gimmie a shout. I guess Im gonna have to go to the Pick-N-Save, thats where all the cash-4-clunkers are here, gotta be a 02-08 in there somewhere.....

Stay home for the rest of the day. You know what they say about happening in 3's...lol
I have those days sometimes, but certainly not with the truck, BUT that's why i got the chrome bumpers over the painted one's.

I would have done the same thing in leaving..haha

How about this guy I was working with a few years back was at McD's and was checking out a couple of youngens and while doing so turned into one of those huge yellow concrete posts. You know the one's that push you out so you don't drive into the window...lol Just demolished the side of his truck i couldn't believe it. He was so embarrased but he still manned up to the truth.

I used to do stupid chit in my old pickup all the time, and the other day I even got lucky in my new one, pulled forward a little too far and ran into a snow pile, luckily it was soft enough that it didnt do any damage at all.

haha, that sucks man. Once I was backing up, and I've gotta be as close as possible, but I forgot I had the hitch attached and stuck it right through the garage door.

Well, here they are...... This is after I've bent and hammered a little bit. Before, it was just a gapping hole.

Its laughable now, but still pisses me off at the same time. But, nothing or nobody to blame but myself.....

Edit: Haha, I still haven't gotten that damn Mazda decal off there. I know.....

Aww man that aint too bad. Get a rollpan with hideaway hitch now! I was pulling my bassboat in my old Ford out of a really country, crappy launch and messed mine up bad.

It was like a 110degree turn and a 35degree angle to get out, you have to follow the tiny road due to the crazy turn and slope, and kept turning until the trailer/boat was too close for comfort to my truck because of my turn. My dad was like U GOT IT so I went. The trolling motor/winch took out my taillight, dented and scratched my rear quarter and tailgate, and f'd up/unaligned my bumper
