One of the guys at work had a dead battery so Troy jumped it for him. Guess he couldnt get real close to him with out getting up on the crub, not a big deal you would think. He got up on the curb and was just a few inches short of him still. Guess he just let his foot of the brake so it would just roll over it, well it did, and right into a tree.
Yes I know the truck needs to be washed again and the dent isnt that bad, BUT I am still pissed

Can't blame you for being mad, Cris, when something preventable happens, especially by someone else, to your truck. But he wasn't doing anything wrong when it happened. And bumpers are a bolt on item, no body or paint to do. Been there, done that, as they say.

It would be different is something big and heavy hit him but the dumb a$$ hit a tree. HELLO, its a tree they arent going to move for you. 
He told me when I first got the truck that I was going to his something first, guess he was wrong

Lisa, that muppets thing is great. Some of those are quite funny how much they look alike.
Cris, that's not a terrible dent. Could be worse.

Cris, I am sort of on the fence on this one. I would be a little tiffed about the dent too, but..on that same token, mistakes happen. We've all done it at some point or another, and getting mad won't make the dent go away.
Just let him know he will be responsible for getting it fixed.
I barely bumped a buggy corral at Target one time trying to back up into a spot in a VERY busy parking lot. You know how they have the red reflector tape on the end of them? Well I grabbed that buggy corral and saw the red paint on the end of it and freakd out. Had Randy laughing pretty good.
My truck has a few dents on her, all put there by me of course.

i was at the county fair to day and theres a aftermarket accessories dealer there(with some nice looking fords) he sells auto meter gauges and mbrp exhausts so i thought id ask for a price i told him i would get a dptuner he said that super chips is better because it is a bigger company and i asked him about the edge insight(electronic gauges) he said to go with the edge juice and later talking to my fried he said dptuners arent that great because they are cheap heres my reason for getting a dptuner its cheaper because its a smaller company and the tuning is customized for your truck. so how is edge and superchits better?

He was just a kid, maybe 16 or 17-years-old. He stood up and started hollerin and Chris (the guy I was with..I think thats what his name was, lol) stood up and without saying a word, the kid apologized and picked up his stuff and ran to the back of the theatre. Chris was a fairly intimidating guy.
