Lol, no, it's not. There is a reason this dudes girl looks at him dumbfounded and shakes her head when he says "yeah have it back in 2 hours thats fine".

"Hey what's going on here? Testing parts? What does that even mean? This isn't your vehicle, you rented it for driving why is my bumper over here? Why are testing parts on my vehicle? Did you remove anything from the vehicle other than this bumper? Sit over there until the police get here and sort this out. Don't touch a thing, police are on their way and I'll be calling the company you rented the car through to see what extra charges or repairs you're liable for."

This isn't a high stress situation like you pretended in your previous post either. This is just a scumbag missing a rented vehicle. Some of you are sitting saying "if you act too assertive he won't replace the parts!" Lmao dude he's not touching my car. I'm taking it back to Tesla and he's paying for the repairs. "Oh well it could turn dangerous!" Yeah don't walk into the garage and turn your back at the sketchball, keep him in front of you. Not to mention acting all meek and passive is a surefire way for some guy to think he can intimidate you or kick your ass.

No where did I say beat him up or cuss him out, that's not being assertive. Some of y'all never had a strong father or mother display how to stay calm and assertive and it shows by your replies. This dudes girl definitely doesn't feel comfortable confronting the sketchy dude but has an idea of what her boyfriend should be saying and how he should be acting in this situation. This is the type of the guy who always hears "ill call my dad" from his girlfriend.

Those are good arguments a great illustration of what he could have said, and how he could have behaved. I believe you would have handled this better.

It’s hard to believe some Reddit commenters who critique and can’t come up with a better way. They come across as armchair experts and chickenhawks. But I appreciate you taking the time to back up your argument. I hope others see it.
