Default What is going on in this video.

From the looks of it, I don't think that man owns that car. What would you do if you came out to find this? Is that paper towel he's using!?

Looks like he's using one of those brown paper towels many gas stations provide for cleaning your windshield

Dunno if the guy is the owner or not but he's a dumbass either way...

I don't think so, unless he always talks about him self in 3rd person, my guess is he's hoping the owner will throw him some cash.

Holy crap, that car is going to need some significant paint correction if its clearcoat is as soft as mine. Why on earth is that guy with the paper towels allowed anywhere near that car???

That video is painful to watch. Maybe the mods should put a "graphic content" warning on the thread.

I am not sure what I would do, but I would not be happy. Some people never figure out the boundary rules we learn as children.

Is that your toy?....No....then don't play with it.

Is that you car?...No...then don't touch it.

I would pull out my "40" make the guy bend over then I would give him one big kick up his ***.

I try very hard to contain my anger. It would take a gargantuan effort for me not to kick this guy across the highway.

Jeebus!

It happened to me. Parked at my firehouse at the base of the trade center when I heard the guys calling me to check out my car. One of the "regular" homeless guys was wiping the dew off it !

Relax, I'm sure he used the paper towel to wipe up the dribble of gas after filling it first. The little bit of gas on the towel helps shine it up nice

That's what the dude gets for parking his car where you're supposed to get gas and then going into the store.
