OK...hee it is with more detail:
I was at the Nosehill carwash. It is one of those inline double bay style carwashes. All 5 lanes are 3 to 4 cars deep so the wait was a good 20-30 minutes. In the next car up. I notice that the the person in the far bay was done but the next guy didn't move up. He kept on feeding his meter. Dick move but whatever. Then I notice a car at the end of our line backs up and drives to the other side and backs into that open spot.
(sidebar: I was in the middle of a 4 year divorce battle at the time so patience was not one of my virtues by the time)
I get out of my car and go inside to ask the guy what his deal was. As I was asking him why he thought he was so special that he didn't have to wait in line the f$cker sprayed me! Obviously I was pissed and to get his attention I slapped the back of his car. At that point the guy said to me that he was going to break all my windows. I encouraged him to try. He backed down and I went back to my car and decided to leave. When I went to shift gears I noticed that my hand was bleeding. "I though, "Oh great...what did I do?"
About 30 minutes later the police were at my door. Great, that's all I need is my kids telling their mom that the police were visiting their dad during a court battle. The cop was a cool guy. He said that I broke out the whole back/side window and scared the shit out of the guy's wife. I explained to the cop what happened because the guy neglected to mention anything that led up to it. The cop asked it I would be ok to pay for the damages and if so it would just go away. I agreed but asked to get the details on the car so I could get my own quote to compare to the guy's quote. They guy's quote was over $200 more than mine. We ended up going with mine. I had to go to the police station to give the guy a cheque for the damage. He wouldn't even come into the police station while I was in there. lol I'm not a large guy. (5'7" - 185) Paid the guy and that was it.
I still don't know how I broke the window. I hit the window with the palm of my hand.
