Yesterday I discovered that someone had dumped a soda all over my car the night before, covering it with sticky brown residue. I guess they didn’t like the cheerful yellow color. Fuckers.
Today I went to get a car wash. When it was done the car looked clean, but once I got home I saw that they weren’t very thorough; there were still areas with dirt. I didn’t pay 15 bucks so you bunch of layabouts could daub my car once or twice with a slightly damp towel.
Then I looked at my bumper because something caught my eye. On closer inspection, I found a bunch of circular dents made by something like a socket wrench, or a 4-in-1 screwdriver with the bit taken out. Goddamn lousy fuckhead bastard pieces of shit. Get your own car and do whatever the hell you want with it, and leave mine the fuck alone. I’ve half a mind to get a webcam and point it out the window so I can catch you little shits next time.
This reminds me. During TT week here it’s not uncommon to see unfinished chippie or take-away meals dumped on people’s car bonnets or roofs. And puke everywhere.
OP: What kind of car do you have? Got comprehensive coverage on your car insurance? Vandalism doesn’t affect your rates. Soda can wreck your paint. Sorry…but when all you have is a hammer the world looks like a nail.
Sorry about your yellow car. What kind was it gagain that you can get away with it’s being yellow?
But in reality it’s a fortnight (TT week and Practice week) where thousands and thousands of leather-clad biker blokes and their butch womenfolk flood onto the island from all over europe to party every night and risk death every day.
It’s the Isle of Man TT Motorbike Festival. In my predictable ignorance I’m not sure what TT stands for, I think it’s Time Trial, but I could be wrong as I think it also specifically refers to the sidecars not the bikes. If only Coldfire were still around. He’d be able to explain it a bit, being a european bike enthusiast.
I knew I’d seen/heard ‘Tourist Trophy’ somewhere. Not only were you able to add something useful, but you told a resident of a small island something he didn’t know about a place he’s lived in for over four years! I’d derrive satisfaction from that if I were you.
No, but crime has been increasing around here lately. We’re thinking about moving before it gets bad.
Sadly, my car didn’t come with the cool urban background.
I have insurance, but I don’t think I would get much if any after the deductible. The damage is fairly minor, and they’re a bunch of cheapskates. A few months ago some kids broke off my side mirror with their foot. A witness saw them, but couldn’t identify which one had actually done the deed. I got about $90 from the insurance, but it cost about $250 for the repair. The insurance estimate even included some very minor dents caused at the same time, but I didn’t bother getting that fixed.
