Question Passing comments when your washing your car

Saturday morning and the car looks in a sorry state with all the crap on the roads at this time of year .
Set to work on cleaning her up and the neighbours start the news paper run . "Morning" say I , "Morning, It will only get mucky again" they reply

Wanna run up kick him in the nutz then poke him in the eye's lol

Every time I wash the car , anybody else get it or is just my anoying community ?

I dont see my neighbours much, when i do and washing the car i usually get "not another new car" or "you'll wash the paint off that"

Maybe i change cars or wash them too often

You wanna hear the comments I get when I polish it in the dark........

It's a white wagon so best time to polish is when it's dark.

"You'll wash the paint off that" is the norm.

Si.

My friend lorraine just moved recently onto a housing development where the houses are stupid money - all her neighbours are barristers, solicitors, doctors and stuff. Lorraine is from North Belfast and you can take the girl out of north belfast and all that.

She was out washing her car on the drive when one of her neighbours asked if she would like to wash their car for £20. Lorraine expressed herself freely indicating that the owner should perhaps wash her own car. Her neighbour thought Lorraine was the cleaner at their house!!!

Used to get it all the time.

Given up on caring for the car these days, so I'm never out cleaning it and so no longer have to put up the inane chit chat over nothing in particular.

There was a great Top Tip in Viz recently that went along the lines of.....

"Stop your neighbour from amusingly saying "You can wash mine next" when washing your car by hitting your windscreen with a hammer whilst washing your car"

Classic.

I've had all of the above together with the classic

"Does it have a dump valve?" Alarmingly, this was from a gentleman who was at least in his mid thirties out walking his dog!!!!

Talking

My neighbours normally say something along the lines of -
'F*** me! You're actually washing your car!!'

Followed several hours later by -
'You're still cleaning it!'

It doesn't get cleaned that often, but gets the works when it does!

My neighbours favorite is, " It's a shame you're not as devoted to your garden"
Everytime I wash mine

Now you see . .Mine is slightly more original!They always see me as I wash my car at least once every two weeks, and on one occasion, the next day after washing/waxing a bird (the kind that flies) sh*t on my Scoob . .And this was not a bonnet job, or just the roof . . .This was a proper carpet bomb!

So there I was again with the trusty pressure washer and the neighbours daughter sees me and smiles as to say "there you are again" . .My reply was " Hey . .Its not funny . .A bird just wrecked my car" . . .

Reply . . . -----"Birds are clever . . .They usually go for the shiny ones"
