My car just got hit on the street by a hit-and-run driver. My car stereo got stolen this summer - the thief also broke my passenger side door lock. A different car of ours got hit-and-runned on the street a couple of years ago.
I just wanted to take this opportunity to express how incredibly frustrating it is to have these things happen, with no consequences for the people who do them.
To the thief who stole my car stereo - my husband got the almost-new car that we needed, and I got a new cd player for my old car, because we couldn’t afford two new cars. The cd player you stole cost about $150, and you probably got $15 for it, if that. Now the only music in my car is a cheap portable cd player because we’re not replacing the cd player because we’re just about ready to replace the car. I’d like for you to know that you made my life just a little bit less pleasant, with crappy sounding music and an inconvenient door that I can’t open when I have arms full of groceries, etc. I mean it - I would really like it if the thief had any idea of the consequences of his little snatch-and-grab.
To the assmuncher who just banged into the same car - you came too fast around an icy corner. You hit my car, and broke my taillight. YOU did this. YOU are responsible for the damage you do while driving. Backing up and driving away with your license plate obscured with snow is a ratfink thing to do, and I am getting a small amount of comfort thinking of the karma that I believe will bite you on the ass for this.
To the assmuncher who hit-and-runned our car a couple of years ago - I’m pretty much over that one. Your karma will give you what you deserve some day, too.
In the grand scheme of things, these aren’t really big deals, I know, but it gets so frustrating living with other humans around some times, with the shabby way that they behave.
