people are freakin' rude. 2484On Sun, 11 Sep 2005 16:50:43 GMT, laura bush - VEHICULAR HOMICIDE Like you have *ANY* clue about responsibility. Or do you subscribe to the concept of responsibility as demonstrated by...
Or maybe he had no insurance (subject of a lengthy thread down the hall and to your left, can't miss it).
Or maybe he had his fingernails dug into the last "points" on his driver's license and one more at-fault accident would knock it loose. (Or had no license at all.) The damage to the car was undoubtedly over the financial threshold for a police report, and if you're already playing things close to the edge, that might take you over.
Come to think of it, maybe he had other, nonfinancial, nonautomotive, nontrivial reasons for really, really not wanting to bring official attention upon himself.
Or maybe there was not even such a thin vestige of a good explanation (not an excuse, but at least an explanation) -- maybe he was just too freakin' rude to take responsibility for the consequences of his actions.
Heck, maybe he goes through life like that in general, as some people do; and whenever his misdeeds appear to have gone unwitnessed, he never really thinks of any possibility besides hightailing it out of there. Sorta like the guy who uses up the last of the toilet paper and neither replaces it nor leaves some indication, or who rather studiedly fails to notice that his lunch exploded in the office microwave, only at smashing-up-somebody-else's-Porsche scale.
People...
