This makes my blood boil. Wow. I think that was an appropriate reaction from the owner.

If he is genuinely apologetic, his first words won't be "dude, I didn't see it"

what's worse a "f*cking C*cksucker" or a "f*cking mother-f*cker"?? IMO being called a name its not so bad for backing up into some ones car.

No sympathy here. That language and flipping out in front of those little kids? Seriously.... grow up. Who even uses those words? Go back and fix it with your bare hands. Accidents happen. It'll buff out.

This wasn't at a daycare center... it was a gas station and I'm willing to bet he had no idea those kids were there. It just so happens that the camera was focused on them. I flipped my shit when an old guy ran a stop sign and hit my Exige. Only difference is that instead of putting the car in park and telling me he didn't see me, he put his car in reverse, got out of the car, then got run over by his own car door. Imagine the language if you hit yourself on the thumb with a hammer by mistake. Same concept.
