OK we all have our resident geniuses, so what are some of the stupidest accidents you have had in your center/building?
We had a guy in such a hurry.... He rear ended......wait for it.... A GOLFCART!
He used a mulligan..... WE had a driver that pulled off the belt, was told he was getting the left overs from a driver that couldnt fit the work in his truck. He got mad slammed it in reverse and hit the parked car next to himI belive that is a 2 stroke penalty.
We have about one or two "accidents" every week that occur when a package cars that are parked so close to one another that they are touching wind up getting scratched in the process of getting out.
The stupid part is that, rather than accepting such scratches as the inevitable byproduct of forcing 160 cars into an overcrowded building with 124 park positions, we waste hundreds of dollars a week "charging" the drivers involved with "accidents", issuing them warning letters, and requiring them to have OJS rides the following day.
The problem could be solved by running an extra conveyor belt outside, putting an awning over it, and creating additional park positions. Or we could just buy a few extra cans of brown paint and a case of Q-tips to touch up the scratches the moment they occur. It isnt going to be solved by inventing new acronyms or commentaries for the drivers to recite.
Past,current, and hopefully future practice in my building. It gets called a "rub" and everyone goes about their business. Although back in the early '90's myself and the driver next to me were warned Memorial Day week the next one who hit the others truck (did I say hit, I meant rubbed) would be serving a suspension. Suffice it to be said we behaved for 6 months and come December I "rubbed" his truck. Would you believe it really was a rub and no suspension was handed down. So the next day he "rubs" my car, and what do you know, except for a dirty look, or two, not a word was said.We have about one or two "accidents" every week that occur when a package cars that are parked so close to one another that they are touching wind up getting scratched in the process of getting out.

I have learned from being involved in this a while back and now if I FEEL a pkg car is too close than I have a supe pull it out! One smart alec on road got tired of this and told me I need to pull it out as I am a professional driver and I replied that doctors are also professionals but they know when or when NOT to operate!We have about one or two "accidents" every week that occur when a package cars that are parked so close to one another that they are touching wind up getting scratched in the process of getting out.

We had an oncar drive through the overhead door...while it was closed.
He claims his foot slipped.
We had a supervisor run a guy of the road on a motorcycle.
I still haven't seen anyone top this one.
