I didn't. I watched my Grandfather kill himself smoking. (My Grandparents raised me.)
It stays with you forever...

He sanded the area, put in a small amount of filler, sanded again, sprayed the area with paint, sanded again until baby-butt smooth then cleared the entire door to blend in the repair. After that he buffed it until it was perfect. It took him about 3 hours to do the job.

LOL... There's a driver in the car and he looks like he's taking a photo of the person who took this photo.

Two morons today. First one is a dufus we see every Sunday morning at the health center where we work out. He's maybe mid to late 40's and drives a Dodge Charger or Challenger. He drops off an older woman (I'm assuming it's his mother) by parking his car on the sidewalk maybe 3ft from the door to the health center. She gets out of the car and walks into the health center and then walks 8 or 10 laps around the track before hitting some machines. So she's obviously mobile and doesn't need to be dropped off 3ft from the door. Then the dufus moves his car to a normal parking spot and sits there with the engine running until he thinks it's time for her to come out. Then he parks on the sidewalk again with the engine still running. Today he went inside for whatever reason and still left the car running.
On that same theme, I went to grab a few things at the local supermarket today and parked next to me was an SUV with (as far as I could tell) no one in it. I went inside and did my shopping, which took 10 or 15 minutes. I came back out to find that SUV still running and still empty. I don't get people leaving their cars running while they go into a store. Sure, if someone is waiting in the car and it's cold or hot, then I can sort of understand leaving it running. But if it's empty and it's not cold or hot outside, why leave the engine running? These same people probably whine about the high cost of gasoline. /rant

I first observed this practice in Montana and North Dakota in the 50s when temps were well below zero and – IIRC – cars couldn't always be relied upon to start again in those conditions. I hesitate to suggest it, but maybe this belongs in the "You know you're old when..." thread?

More than not acceptable; against the law.

I *almost* offered to help this mom load a few bags of rocks into her truck at H-D yesterday. She was parked right in front of all the mulch I wanted to buy. But she was almost done so I had other things to get too.
Get my stuff, order 10 bags of mulch, and go outside. Her truck is still there, locked up tight, right in front of all the stacks. Pulled in as best I could to drop my tailgate and load up. She comes out with like 10 more bags of rocks, then stands around impatiently while I load up. I didn't even say "Happy Mother's Day" because I would have followed it with a B-word.

Groundhog Day. Went back to the store today to grab a couple things I forgot to get last time. Again, there was a car next to me with no one in it and the engine running. Unreal.
