Default rant x 2

well, i'm just a bit pissed of really this week

on monday i dropped the mondeo off to the local bodyshop guy for a total once over, geting rid of all the blemishes and littel marks (the next door neighbour unloaded his van next to the car and his walking past several times had left loads of scratches on the surface which were not coming out with a bit of polish and i didn't want to go and t cut it all off)
i picked it up on teusday morning and, within 30 minutes of collecting it there was a big scrape down the side
well, i am over exagerating but the osr bumper on the corner and the bit behind the lights had scratches in them

aprked in the middle of teh car park with nothing else anywhere near it so the only people who would have scratched it ouwld beon of the drivers who have lugged a box past the corner

i am SO pissed off i've spent most of the past few days being really grumpy about it and i've sort of calmed down a bit but it's going to ned a repaint of the whole bumper and the quater panel

i did vent my anger at all the drivers but they should have owned up if they did it, it's not as if it wasn't something that they could have ignored and it's not as if they didn't have any space to walk around teh car wihtout needing to get within 10 feet of the thing

and then, to make matters worse, the winds have blown the wires out of the phone pole so no phone at home and no internet
till next thrusday

but at least they are diverting all calls to my mobile and will give me a whole pound per day to cover the costs of having to use the mobile instead

whats pissed you off so far this year then?

I don't know why people can't respect other peoples property and cars. Yesterday I was driving out of the multistory car park in Woking and I noticed a family getting their kids into their car, fair enough you'd think but they'd put their handbag on the bonnet of the car next to them Why they didn't put it on their own bonnet god only knows

busted

thing is, i'm so paranoid about the car my brother, then my mum, followed by my mrs have all suggested i put it on the mantle in a glass case
i'd ratehr stick the child seat in teh van to go shopping than taking the car, even when i go out with the family, i take up 2 spaces in the car park, or else i'll park in the parents area

no one cares if they damage your car in the car parks of this land but it erally fucks me off when you see this sort of thing when you go shopping and you see cars getting banged by troleys and stuff

no one gives a shit anymore
