Default We complain about the kids of today, but the old are just as bad

Went up the archery club today in the new car, and as its the newest one up there by 5 years it generated quite a bit of interest.

After showing them round it etc etc, 1 of the old c**ts decided to use it as a pubic leaning post and rest his **** againt the rear door

This is after 5 mins of asking how old it was, and took great offence in being told to get a chair from the club house.

So now next weekends job is repolishing a 1 week old car cos he's put micro scratches in the door panel.

Right.

Can we see a picture of your new car, then?

Please do some close-ups of them microscratches.

LOL it is annoying when others don't follow same/similar standards as ours. Leaning on any car (old or new) is not socially accepted any more. That culprit of an old boy might still be stuck in the 50s-60s, when James Dean made a big name for himself by leaning on cars with a *** in his mouth.

"like he had been run over"???? I can foresee your friend's future if he did that to mine, there would be no "like" about it

I only allow my cats to walk all over my cars. They can do anything they like, they are allowed. Next door's pigeons do some artistic stuff on my cars too, but as that pigeon art is beynd my control, I just have to put up with it No human takes liberties for leaning or sitting on my car's bonnets etc. If they did, I would tie them to my spoiler, and drag them round the block.

I agree with most of that Although I may be tempted to feed the pigeons to the cats, and then show the fat moggies to the local tearaway rottie All pest issues solved

Hey, Looms

You are not wrong there. I may write to Jack and Vera Duckworth for a nice and tasty pigeon pie recipe

BTW, I remember your picture on the SN Muppets meet during Hurricane Katrina year in Cardiff, when you were leaning on a car (I think, it was Darren's scooby. Or was it yours?? Can't remember that so well). I do remember that you looked like a cardboard cut-out of yourself in the picture

Taking the debate further on "the old are just as bad", I can't get over some adults who jump on my passanger seat for a lift, and won't put their belt on for short distances. I won't move before they have put the seat belt on, but I agree that some old-er ones can be far more relaxed and unreasonably defiant than the younger ones; even with the car rules- not just with the cosmetic aspect of the car.

I blame Brown for that too.

They could do your ironing whilst they're there, too.

Do you think he deliberately caused those "micro scratches"? I know its annoying when people lean on your car but the difference is whether he meant to damage your paint where so many modern younger people would do just that today out of pure jealousy or vandalism.

Did you order him to get a chair or was it a polite suggestion?

Misses walked to work the other day and just as she got in the car park there was an old man on the floor with his buggy toppled over, he was arguing with a group of youths on bikes. He was shouting they had pushed him over and attacked him. She, along with one of the other youths helped him up and into the store. Looked after him, gave a statement etc and sent him on his way. She got called into the office later in the day, looked at the CCTV, Shows him chasing the lads into the carpark and rammed into one of them whilst on their bike. Could have seriously hurt the lad. Showed up it was all down to the old guy and they hadnt pushed him off. Amongst all this though, there were other old biddies telling her they saw it all and the lads had pushed him over

Sorry dave, but reading that all I could think of was Matt Lucas as 'Andy' lying on the floor next to his wheelchair saying 'She pushed me!'
