Default When you can't have nice things.

Back in October of last year, a drunk imbecile type chav (being polite) decided it would be a great idea to jump on to the bonnet of the car and run over the top of it. Suffice to say this happened.





I was able to apprehend the 'person' and the chap got arrested. A quick call to my insurance company and passed to a company that sounds like sorto ass and a replacement was put on order.

Cut to today a full 5 months later and some cracking chaps come to fit the part and they found out it was the wrong size. Suffice to say I am not a happy chappy and due to the utter w***stain that did this, this is why we can't have nice things. I'm still finding bits of glass to this day.

I do feel that people would be happier is the bastard had slipped and ripped his throat open as he fell into the car. Shame is it leaves a mess!

Salut!

In the past month I've had a wing mirror popped out and kicked off and someone set my alarm off by running over my car, luckily there seems to be no damage...

What is wrong with people?

There's always an rssehole or two about, but take heart 99.99% of people are great just like you and me, and those sad b'stards probably won't live as long as us anyway.
