Mess with the TC, You Get the Jacks... Ha ha ha

So the traffic was moving very slowly. Parked at a dead stop most of the time and it took about 15 minutes to go two city blocks. We were all in a "go straight only lane" with an arrow and many signs, including over head signs to indicate that.

When I was just about through the entire line of traffic, this woman comes blazing down the left turn only lane, which was to my left, and then decides that she wants to turn into my lane and cut off everybody who was lined up in the traffic.

So as we are all rolling extremely slowly, in this long line of traffic, she points the nose of her car very close to the side of my truck to try to intimidate me and the guy behind me. A little too close. What she didn't realize was that she put the nose of her car in between my Two Jacks on the truck camper. She cleared the first one, but didn't realize the second one was still coming her way.

As the line of cars I was in kept moving along very slowly, my Jack pulled her bumper off. No damage to the truck camper. Ha ha ha.

I suppose she got what she deserved. LOL

She jumped out of the car all angry and crazy saying that I caused all of that just for being in the line of traffic that she put her bumper into. She got all angry and started calling the police and yelling at me. Mind you, I was basically a parked vehicle that she hit. Rolling forward at two to three miles per hour, max. In the proper line of traffic.

I snapped a couple pictures so it was clear what she did. She saw me take the pictures, then she jumped back in the car and sped off.

I guess she probably didn't want the moving violation from blasting down that left only lane.

The really weird part about it all is that she already had plenty of scratches and marks on the same side. It looks like she's done this before.

Just a story from the road to share for entertainment purposes.

SWEET!
An expensive lesson learned for her (hopefully).

Glad you suffered no damage, but judging by the previous damage to her car, I'd guess she will have learned nothing whatever from the incident. Still, two thumbs up to you for the attempted edjumacation of an idjit.

Been there, done that, got the t-shirt. I know it's wrong, but it can be so satisfying.

That never fails to irritate me, people cutting in a line of traffic instead of merging properly, all because they want to save a few minutes to consume another beer, or whatever.

Cars today get undone pretty easy anyway being all plastic and push fastener held together. I've peeled a few myself but with a big truck. Amazing what a 1100 x 24.5 truck tire will do to the side of a car and just take the dirt off the tire....

She got exactly what she deserved. I would have made a police report (if you got her tag number) for leaving the scene of a damage accident even though she was the one that got damaged.

A lot of people would call this improper vigilante-ism but those people who run up the side of a long line of people who have been waiting their turn so they can aggressively cut in deserve whatever happens.
Iโ€™m just glad your camper didnโ€™t take any collateral damage.
Thank you for your part in educating one of these people.
