Unhappy

Im in a bit of a predicament, yesterday i was having a laugh at my mates house when i found a mouldy orange in his fruit basket, without hesitation i chucked it at him and the rotten fruit exploded on his shirt! He wasnt chuffed and picked one up himself i ran 4 cover and of course stood by the t.v, he wernt gonna chuck at that ! He then decided 2 take aim 2 throw it over the house from the back garden, b4 he did so i told him "dont do that because my scoob's over there and it'll feckin hit it", i told him twice and of course he threw it and then BANG i ran round to the front to find the rotten fruit all over my scoob and a dent in the bonnet!

Now would u make him pay as i did give him plenty of warning that my car would get hit, or just forget it coz he's a m8, he did say he would pay!

I wouldn't make him pay. Yes, you warned him that it was there but it was pretty childish behaviour for both of you.

If he offers to pay, accept but would you really want to lose a mate over that?

At the end of the day, a car is just materialistic.

Get a mobile dent bloke out, pay the £60 or so, share the cost, chalk one up to experience and go down the pub.

Go halfers on the repairs - that seems fair

When I was away for a week with a bunch of mates in a big cottage in the middle of nowhere we had numerous water fights. A car load of the guys were leaving so we decided to ambush them. We ran out and chucked big watter ballons at them - unfortunatly one of the guys had just opened his car door (golf GTI) and a massive ballon fired straight in at speed and hit the dash sending water ALL over the interior I've never seen such a mess - LOL

He took it pretty well considering

Wouldnt want 2 loose a m8 but he's a real tw@t i told him twice not 2 and his joke should av been aimed at me and not my car, its a real hard one I dont think dent master could get it out either, as the bonnets double skinned, and the dent is surprisingly big!

I agree with Jockey - if it's £60 then pay yourself and just ask your mate to pick up the tab next time your out for a beer and a ruby.

Don't loose your mates over a repairable dent that will cost no more than a couple of tanks of petrol.

If you act like a prat you have to face the consequences

You started it, so its your fault.

Just getting off the subject slightly, I heard of a wizard wheeze where so-called mates obtained someone's keys to his new Beemer, wound down the window and threw broken toughened glass shards all over the seat and footwell. Hook, line and sinker, apparently, only found out when he took it to be repaired! Broken glass in your new car isn't particularly funny, though. It was a tame trick for that particular crew.

Lightbulb

While looning around at a party some brightspark decided to invent a new game called flame ball. A large quantity of paper was wrapped in a piece of chicken wire, doused in lighter fluid and set on fire.
The flame ball was then booted around irresposibly until some bloke with an Audi complained it might hit his car. No sooner had he opened his cakehole than the flame ball bounced under the Audi and lodged underneath. Audi bloke BBQ'd his fingers getting it out.
He was very cross

The moral of this story is - don't buy an Audi they're a magnet for flame *****

Jjones u were obviously bullied when u were younger or u are just very boring ot perhaps u dont have any m8's ! Practical jokes are good fun and similar jokes have been done 2 me in the past, so he got his just deserts!

Never lead 2 this though, he is my mate so i cant really make him pay!

Thumbs up

Just buy another orange of a similar size and put it back in the dent, drive around town without trying to lose it.

You will have an advantage of course but nobody but you and your mate will know you're cheating.

You might then attract 2 girls because of your skill and no longer have to act like a bender.

jjones, go easy man! You can't be much of a mate to have around - you seem like a right party-pooper

Guys looning around goes wrong from time to time but thats what makes us guys!

I was having a kip in a hotel during a weekend away with my mates when one of them jumped on me! The patter of his feet woke me from a deep sleep and I paniced by trusting my arms into the air. My elbow caught him on the front teeth and VERY nearly took them out. He's had to get work done at the dentist and my elbow hurt like fvck but we both got over it - it was a bit of fun that went a little wrong, so what

$hit happens, as they say. I think he owes you a drink

Sounds like a body shop job, take this opportunity to get it resprayed and lose the stonechips. Might as well have some other colour coding done while its in

if there's no creases in the dent, get your kitchen plunger out. failing that, get a pack of those super suction cups, the ones with little lever on the top and pull it out yourself!

My missus has just got in and asked me if I can drive on the road whilst keeping an orange on the bonnet because she knows somebody who can?

Strange or what?
