No words that would not get me banned from the entire internet itself let alone this forum could express how...simply irritated and annoyed...I am today!
Unfortunately because I arrived at work today a little later than usual I was forced to park on a different street to usual (for a little background info, I'm currently in the process of buying a house in the same town as where I work (which will save all these parking for work issues in the future, save lots of time travelling, and do my bit for society by reducing my carbon footprint, or whatever) and although the whole house buying thing is thoroughly wrought with problems and highly stressful, the fact that the sellers have already moved out of it means I park in front of it whilst I am at work during the day (so there is benefit to it :-)), but unfortunately this morning someone had beaten me to it)...
...so anyway, I returned to my car tonight after a very long, tiring and stressful day, debating with myself whether I had enough energy for my usual stint at the gym and noticed something not quite right about my bonnet... some "idiot" has taken it upon themselves to 'key' my car! It's clearly deliberate by the DEPTH of the scratch, the lenght of it and, the fact that it's obvious when they got 3/4 of the way across the bonnet and the scratch was no longer quite so deep they lifted off the key and rammed it down against to gauge (gowge? I cannae spell!) further. It's gone right through to the bodywork (obviously), so I've put some anti-rust stuff on for now, but as it's metallic paint I'm never going to be able to get it looking smooth or decent again without spending money I really don't have (buying houses is also very expensive, amongst being problematic and stressful!!). I know I'm lucky they 'only' got the bonnet (in that they didn't get any other section of the car...at least not that I've noticed at the moment) but it doesn't stop the annoyance and upset at the damage that HAS been done. :mad:
So um yeah, rant over. Sorry! Just needed to get that off my chest! :boohoo:
