A little more than a bump into the feed.

I think the message is clear: this would not have happened if she'd been driving a Smartcar. Just say no to SUVs.

So much fun I had to watch it twice!

I did wonder if she was just going to casually chose another spot and then heaad on in for her workout!

Did you see the photos of the couple in NV that woke up in the middle of the night ot find a car on top of them? It had driven through their bedroom wall and landed right on top of their bed. And they didn't get hurt.

Frank, so true, so true.

Jeanette, me too. I couldn't believe it.

Ma, I know. I was thinking it might be fun to do an open call for what you think she was thinking the moment she got all 4 wheels back on the ground. So many options. I hadn't heard about the NY incident...off to google now.

J.K., quite a clear video for a security camera and what a zany driver. Obviously, because she didn't go looking for the owners of the damaged cars she thought she could get away with out paying anything. She would better off to allocate the money being spent on gym exercising to taking some driving courses with a special emphasis on parking!!

Hilarious!

Holy canoli

I love the, "Well, I'll just back-up and off this car now..."

I wonder if she was on the phone.

I just watched a Monte Python documentary, and I can't watch this without hearing a Pythonesque sound track. It is making me giggle.

designator, I want to know what she told her husband when she returned so quickly and not sweaty. "Oh I couldn't find parking dear, so I just came home."

duane, it is.

waking, if she was on the phone, that would be great timing. Ontario just made it illegal to talk and drive. $500 fine. I wonder if they will let her keep her gym membership.

Dang. I feel awful if the car door bumps the other car. How do you just drive away?

good lord, has she said what happened? I kind of looks like she stepped on the gas instead of the brakes, but that was definitely fleeing the scene.

She could have just lifted the car off and gotten a workout while she was at it! Amazing video.

Yep, I saw that video on the Toronto Star website yesterday. BMWs seem to be built like a tank... I am gald this person got caught.

Well, wasn't that sweet...

suppose she's a retired soccer mom?

unbelievable.

In the US, these people are big business Republicans.

No self respecting U.S. citizen would do that. We'd leave a note with a ficticious name and phone number on the windscreen (British usage) before leaving the scene of the accident. Have Canadians no sense of honour?

What type of vile behaviours do they practise in Ontario? They could lose their licence for this in the states. Hope my spelling passes for Canadian. With all good humour, afftectionately woof.

she's nuts, btw.

Ahem. How did she do that?

I used to have to park my Honda Civic on the street where I lived and once came back to find a huge dent in the hood towards the front like someone had dropped a bowling ball on it from a tall building. I found it puzzling until my SO said he thought someone in an SUV or truck with a much higher bumper had partly backed over the front of my car. I now have another theory!

Da-yum!!! That just ain't right. Although, I'm impressed with the fact that the SUV climbed up and down so easily . . .

Amazing.

Amazing that one can drive up onto a couple of cars just like that...and then drive off them, and then drive away, I mean from the mechanical point of view, let alone whatever was going thru her mind)... and from this distance the two (!) cars she drove up on look surprisingly unscathed.

horrible and hilarious

Ten to one she was on her cell phone when it occurred.

Damn impressive!
::snork!::

::sitting stunned and higher than normal in parking lot:: "Let's see, where was I going? Grocery store? No. Gym? Hmm, no, not now." ::bump bump:: ::sits staring ahead at messed up cars:: Oh yes! I need a manicure, my nails are messed up!

::drives away brightly::

Looks like a kid playing with matchbox cars. Wish there were a camera inside of the car!! Good laugh!

She was probably wondering what inconsiderate lout had left their car parked in front of her like that. Funny stuff!

No, she probably just broke a nail.

I'll have to wait and watch the video from home, but this does hit home for me. Recently, my son Mike, driving my car, hit another car when backing out of his parking space in an apartment complex parking lot. He did the right thing, and left a note. The owner of the car called and tried to threaten Mike to pay him $1100 by the next day or he'd file a police report. I got on the phone then, and told the man we would let our insurance agent know what had happened, and that he'd be reimbursed by them.

I was glad Mike did the right thing, but disappointed that someone tried to exploit the situation. And it never occurred to either Mike or to me that surveillance cameras might have been operating! Even more reason not to "hit and run."

Now, now, let's not stumble down the "woman-driver" path. There are lots of boneheads from both sides of the fence. But I really do want to see this with a Monte Python sound track.

When I was a kid, my dad had an ugly dark green Ambassador station wagon. Here's a pretty good idea of what it looked like (except this one is red, of course) : http://www.flickr.com/photos/94957089@N00/3961481874/

Our apartment building parking lot was huge and was divided by double sets of railroad ties spiked into the asphalt. Behind my father's car, a good hundred feet away, was one of our tenant's Cadillac. The spot in front of his, on the opposite side of said railroad ties, was occupied by a Pontiac Le Mans (here's a pretty good pic though this one is modified: http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.dragtimes.com/images/9593-1969-Pontiac-Le-Mans.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.dragtimes.com/Pontiac-Le-Mans-Timeslip-9593.html&h=480&w=640&sz=87&tbnid=HqpQGo8qv5N_CM:&tbnh=103&tbnw=137&prev=/images%3Fq%3DPontiac%2BLeMans%2Bphoto&hl=en&usg=__Cla8CE4bYyb9qbn5T0c_ieawh5I=&ei=wePpSsKCAYjAlAf00-n_BA&sa=X&oi=image_result&resnum=4&ct=image&ved=0CBUQ9QEwAw).

One night, just about bedtime, there was a horrific noise outside. We all ran outside to see what was going on, and found the LeMans precariously balanced on the railroad ties with all four wheels off the ground. The guy was dead drunk, and was still trying to drive when my father pulled him out of the car.
Our car? it was across the parking lot, on the hood of the Caddy. Even though it was in park, even with the parking brake on.

Needless to say, my dad was pissed. I was simply awestruck that the LeMans could have hit that station wagon with enough force to make the rearend go airborne for a hundred feet.

At least that guy had an excuse - he was drunk. This woman looks like she hit the gas instead of the brake.

She could give my Mom driving lessons!

OESheepdog, I had a colleague years ago who dropped his wife for an outpatient appointment at a hospital. He parked and went in to check how long it would take, and when he came out found his car had been pretty badly damaged. The note on the windshield said "People saw me hit your car. They think I am leaving my name and address. They are wrong". Fortunately a hospital security guy had his suspicions and took down the guy's number plate. As he had a prior record, he didn't just get charged with leaving the scene, they did him for "Perverting the course of justice", which covers things like witness tampering or removing evidence.

That's crazy! I can't believe she just backed off it and drove away. I need one of those when people are driving slow in the fast lane, I could just move them out of the way.

Since I'm on a mom kick today... I think I was in middle school and it was around Christmas time. Mom and i had been in Dallas shopping or something and decided to go to a grocery store before heading across the bridge to home. We parked and got out of the car. When we checked out, my mom signed her name "Mary Christmas" as opposed to Mary Chapman. The cashier asked her if that was really her name. She almost peed her pants she was laughing so hard. I, on the other hand, was totally mortified. As we made our way to the car, we noticed that no one had parked around us, which was strange because it was so busy there. Then we realized that my mom had just made her own row. In the driving lane. Yep. Just parked right in the middle of it. Thank goodness we got out of there before the person we were parked behind had to leave.

It is frightening how many of you can relate to this story.

Julie, now I am peeing myself laughing. I love it.

Please tell me that she's a birther and a right wing moralist!

@GeeBee -- Hahahahahahaha

Janie -- Nothing from you on my use of the Queen's English?

You weren't kidding. I'm so surprised she was able to drive up onto the cars like that. I wonder what kind of SUV that was....

"Worst Parking Job Ever"

This is hilarious, and the title says it all. But EP and cover? Seriously?

Sheepie, was that what that was? (that's how a real Brit would answer that)

Sao, -it's a bimmer.

Nana - uhm, bitter table for one?

LMAO. Loved it. I needed a laugh today.

I realized all of a sudden that my mouth was feeling dry, and then realized that I'm sitting here in my glass-walled office with my mouth agape like a moron. Oh. My. Sadly, this makes me think of my late mother and the time she side-swiped a car with us kids along for the ride, and then drove away because it was too to deal with.

I hope they pull her license. What if that would have been a group of people instead of cars? She has no respect for others by the way she casually drove away.

That woman has a future driving Monster Trucks for a living.
Nomustarde.

Wow... just wow.

Awesome! Best post I've read all month :)

No, not bitter Janie. I'll never make cover and I'm OK with that; I post what matters to me and I've got a good readership as a result. I'm just bemused by the ever-downward spiral of what Zerry thinks is important or relevant enough to take up cover space; it amuses me more than anything else. Congrats on making the grade;)

You're right, this would be great with a Monty Python track, without it it's just too darn scary. What was she thinking just driving away?

At least she got her heart rate up...

*ouch* (((nana!!!)) I'll change that from a table to a whole sectionfor the Bitter party. ;)

O'Really, with a Monte Python sound track there would be no raised heart rate.

But yeah, I really, really, really want to be a fly on the windshield for that ride. "Oops. Oh. ooOOhhh! ooooohhhh." I'm still giggling, but I am glad no one was hurt.

hysterical

Simply awful - but it doesn't look as if she was driving fast enough to make it over the cement divider let alone 2 cars!!!
Do you suppose she not only drives an SUV, but drives it set on 4WD the entire time? Glad they caught the cow!

That was great! Should have been included in this video I watched last week... hilarious!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wT7zM8XgXQ

Damn Funny! I've often wondered how my wheels magically received some of the crazy damage after I left 'em parked so shiny, and safe... Always leaned on the kids, or perhaps packs of roving dinosaur had my #... Bluehairs on physical fitness parade never crossed my mind... RRR

I'm with the person that theorized she was jabbering on a cell phone. Could have been worse I guess, she could have been texting.

"should I stay or should I go?"

one of life's ponderables...

Good laugh for the day!

Looked like an innocent mistake to me. 'Oh no, that'll bump right out. I can barely see the scratch. No, that was like that when I pulled in. Wasn't me.'

Apparently she was planning her next move.

Rated.

Very funny.

Yikes! Unbelievable that she could just drive away like that. "Did I just feel something ... uh, different? Oh well, moving right along..." Wonder if her insurance company would drop her after seeing this video.

I agree with Sheepdog's theory - she must've been distracted to have so blithely climbed up on two cars - there was no sudden acceleration (as is the case when people hit the accelerator instead of the brake); it was just like she wasn't looking at what was in front of her! I kind of feel bad for her - even though she tried to escape the scene. If I could imagine she was a horrible bitch (instead of a kindly grandma type) that would comfort me.

Was I the only one expecting her to climb up the other car when she put it in reverse?

You'll be happy to know that the owner who had his 2004 Hyundai Elantra trashed received a brand new one yesterday (thanks to Hyundai Canada):

'Worst parking job' victim given car"

Interestingly, he was currently looking for a used car, because he couldn't afford a new one. I am sure the guy is very happy about how this story ended.

p.s. As opposed to the U.S., when you receive such gifts, it is tax free up north.

Kanuk, I just read that. I was going to update the post, but I figured the post is past its best before date. However, that was a nice outcome for the guy.

JK,
It’s almost hard for me to believe this wasn’t staged it’s so insane. Imagine being the folks who owned the two cars she ruined coming out to find what’s left.

I’m telling you some people have way too much caffeine in their system.

Rated and appreciated.

What a riot.

I once watched an elderly lady in the left turn lane waiting for the signal for her to turn left. The green arrow came on and she turned left, but instead of turning into her lane, she turned into the wrong lane and rammed a guy head on just waiting for his green light. She backed up, turned into the correct light and went on her merry way. Everyone was so shocked, she was long gone before even the driver of the car she hit got out to check the damage.

Jesus. What a fucktard.

Wotta genius! Sheesh! I'm glad it was only cars that were damaged and that she didn't drive over any people. Some people shouldn't drive.

OMG! I cant stop laughing. It's the kind of laugh-that-won't-go-away-no-matter-what, repeating like hiccups. The kind I used to get during Mass as kid, when you'd get bored and start hearing parishioners' stomachs gurgling and growling because we all had to fast from Saturday night on to have an empty stomach to make room for god's whole body and flesh -- which was only the size of a half dollar, paper thin, Communion wafer. A laugh that ends up sounding like lots of sneezes when unsuccessfully squelched. My god, thanks for this!

I felt mean laughing, but what a hoot!
