Get Off My ****ing Car!

[crazyman50000]

Drove 30 miles (!) to Worcester to see a girl. Got there, park on the pub car park round from hers. 45 minutes later (baring in mind it only took me an hour to drive there) she shows up.

Walk up to her mates house where the party is. She said I could park my car on the drive there but I say it's ok.

Some time later the neighbours turn up winging something about only allowing 7 people (wtf) to be in the house instead of about the 25 that were there. 3 hours later we're finally 'allowed' in. Needless to say, so far it's cost me about £5 to drive there and we've been walking backwards and forwards up the road pretty much the whole time. Age range of the party goers were about 14-22 (Im 20)

We get in and Im in the understanding that we'de be in a bed to sleep. As in duvet, pillows etc. No. We end up in the office on a fold out bed poufe thing.

By now it's 2am and Im getting quite tired. Me and the girl are in this fold out poufe thing and every 10 minutes or so her friends burst through the door. They finally get bored of this at FOUR THIRTY AM.

I get about 3 hours sleep and so wake up looking a bit worse for wear. Then comes the trip to McDonalds, as I really need coffee by now to keep me alert enough to drive home. One of her friends (age 16) starts taking the dust caps off the car and trying to let my tyres down. This doesn't bother me that much. I keep a small air compressor and pressure gauge in the car just in case. Finally get the caps back on and he thinks it's funny to lift the wipers up. Again, not to pleased but not angry. Then he starts trying to open the petrol cap which obviously can only be opened from inside the car. Then he's holding a lighter next to the petrol cap :o Then he things it's funny to get on the bonnet gripping the top of it.

Eventually he ****s off and we drive to McDonalds. Bare in mind, of the now 5 people in the car, Im the only one that can drive. This makes lane changing lethal as they seem only to be compliant in giving directions once you're right on top of a junction. Again, I let this slip and drive to McDonalds. Next thing, Im paying for all their food (£17!) and we drive back to her mates house.

After a few boring hours of her mates generally !Removed! around, including them trying to throw rocks, crab apples and tennis balls over the house to hit my car. Ive had enough and want to go home. They all jump in the car (again calm) and the girl Im seeing wants to see the magic light up display. Next thing is one of her mates in the back drops the handbrake and 2 of em are now pushing the Yaris up the road. Steering locks on scratching my alloys all up the curbs. Because it's now moved, her mate in the passenger seat opens the door smashing against a nearby wall. I eventually get back in the seat, start the engine, say goodbye to said girl, glance in the rear view mirror and THE KID THAT WAS ****ING ABOUT WITH MY CAPS AND WIPERS IS ONLY STANDING ON BOOT LIP. This is where I actually snap, grab the kid that was standing on the boot lip, shout at him saying "I DON'T FIND IT ****ING FUN. LEAVE MY ****ING CAR ALONE, OK?!" tell everyone to get the **** off the car and leave me alone. Slip it in to first, floor it up the road before eventually stopping to calm down.

Now, had the car cost me £500 or less, I probably wouldn't have lost my temper. But it's a FIVE N ARF GRAND CAR THAT IM PAYING FOR OUT MY OWN POCKET! I WANT TO KEEP IT LOOKING NICE!

Then I notice the girl Ive been seeing heels have marked all my new shiny rubber mats. I wouldn't mind but they've only been in ONE DAY.

Im really not pleased. Ive never really had any nice things in life and anything I have took pride in before has just been ruined. Now I thought Im a bit older, no one should **** about with my things - I can buy myself some nice stuff. I DONT NEED SOME SCROTTING 16 YEAR OLD CLIMBING ON MY CAR LIKE A MONKEY!

Rant over. Just needed to vent some steam.

[Demonic Angel]

I'd have done more than swear at them.... I'd have given them one when they started removing the dust caps!

Seriously mate, get yourself some new acquaintances - obviously the girl you're seeing isnt the most mature person either, no offence but if she can't even respect your stuff by telling her mates to back off then you have to start asking questions....

I'd be inclined to call the police and report criminal damage as well.... they arent your mates so don't think twice about it IMO!

[crazyman50000]

That's the thing. No real damage done.

It seems timid but I couldn't even have a nice pen in school because everyone kept picking on me / kicking my bag and breaking them. Not funny either having an ice cream tub for a lunch box after they manage to break every single one you've had.

Point is, Ive never had any nice items as they just got broken, ruined or my parents couldn't afford to buy me expensive things. So I grew up, started looking after my possessions better and bought myself nice things. I don't really care if other people like it or not, Im the one looking at it / using it everyday afterall.

But it's not funny when you put pride and hard earned money into something to have someone to start trying to **** it up.

[sphinktar1988]

had the same problem with one of my x girlfriends

her and her mates jst used and abused the yaris

seem to do nothing but drive around after people and have my car wreaked

the door was banged off a fire extingusher, scrapped off the floor, dented bonnet cd player jammed, many pointless miles added on to it

take angels advice n stay away or see the lass on her own maybe she will act differently in that situation

these days if a crumb gets dropped in my car ill kill lol

[T V O R]

Should have gone on your pushbike...

[Demonic Angel]

That's the thing. No real damage done.

You said they opened the door into a wall!! If thats not damaged then your car is made of stronger stuff than most Yaris's!

Someone just had to touch my Yaris and I'd go ape.... and the same with the Aygo - more so with the Aygo as its newer!

Like you said, you've worked hard to afford your car, don't let a bunch of kids ruin it for you You're mature enough to be sensible, so your missus should be too.... if any potential boyfriends mates started on my car I'd beat them all to a pulp... and I'm possibly the tiniest non-violent person in the world.... you just don't mess with someones car, its not the done thing...

[crazyman50000]

Well yeah exactly. If I get in someone else's car I might adjust the seat and mess with the heating controls if it's uncomfortable. Flick through the CD or MP3 player / Ipod if a songs on I don't like. But it's not like those things are exactly disrespectful to the car. Might have a look in the glovebox (many a mans secrets are kept in his glovebox ;) ) But I certainly don't start breaking things or abusing it.

My ex used to wear a glittery belt and leave glitter on the seats. That I don't get angry about as it can't really be helped and just vacs up easily anyway.

[T V O R]

Maybe its time to get friends more of your own age or older, people who have a lot more respect for your property.

Hanging around with feral kids with no money or values will only drag you down.

[Red Yaris 54]

That is bad news

The old saying - "LOVE ME, LOVE MY CAR" springs to mind.

Dump her and her juvenile mates and find yourself some real friends who respect you and your car

[sphinktar1988]

lol at red

well put

[dave.m]

Kick her into touch mate, get yourself a girlfriend who also has a car. You will find you then have more in

common and she will also appreciate and respect your property that you have worked hard for.

[Jp-Auris]

omg thats the things that really P**S me off, when people who dont have cars just start messing about with YOUR car, i mean it was my birthday few weeks back and my mate from college decieded to silly string my car, when college finished i walked up to my car and went mad! but after i got it cleaned of i only knew it was for fun, no harm done to the car, but when people delibritly bash your car around they dont even realise its alot of money sitting there infront of them.

if i were you in that situtation i would just reversed into that little ubik on the back of your car then rev your engine scaring the s**t out of him. hope you get your damages sorted mate

[Kev Mc]

I don't know how you sat there & smiled through all of that, with the dustcap thing I'd have told them that I was as game for a laugh as any1, but if they touched my car again I'd have beat them to death before repeatedly running over their !Removed! corpse. That would have shown them from the offset that they were not going to be allowed to get away with treating your car badly. You showed the patience of a saint there & they continued to take the :censor: through the whole day.

These were really immature kids & this girl sat back while her mates were abusing the hell out of your car but at the same time you should have given them a bigger inclination that you weren't happy about it. Sounds like a bit of peer pressure got the better of her & with you not showing any signs that you weren't happy she probably thought you weren't bothered about what they were doing. If you have any chance of making things work with this girl (that's a big 'if') you'll have to make it perfectly clear that that must never happen again.

It's a shame about what has happened in the past but it's time you grew a set of balls & decided that enough is enough, you're not taking this crap anymore & any1 who's planning on harming something you've worked hard for has you to answer to 1st. If you give people an inch in this world they'll try to take a mile so you've got to stand up for yourself & not sit back while people are doing things you're unhappy with. You don't have to be built like Mr T in your signature, it's just about self-confidence. I know it's easier said than done but it's something every1 has inside them so have a word with yourself & refuse to take this crap anymore.

If that sounds harsh I apologise but from where I'm sitting you've let people treat you badly for your whole life & if you don't stop them they always will so change it now

[Blue84]

Wow they sound like they need to grow up and get some sense of responsibility!!

I'm annoyed enough that my Yaris has big dents in both of the front doors from where other people have opened their car doors and not considered the Yaris at all...and it was also key scratched all along 3/4 of the off side rear panel. If I have (accidentally) caused the damage then fair enough, but if anyone dared do anything to it like those people did you do I would be seeing red, literally !

Crazyman, why not make enquiries at your local college to see if they have any Assertiveness courses going.

An assertiveness course could help teach you how to deal with this type of situation without becomming aggresive and compounding the situation.

lololololol

Good idea, or maybe go to boxing so you'll learn how to throw punch, take a punch & feel confident that if anything kicks off you'll be able to handle yourself. It's something I'm looking at starting myself (more to bulk up my weedy upper body than anything else though really)

Erm .....

Isn't this going where todays is?

i.e. Guns and knives

Personally I just walk away ..... but to totally contradict myself I go to Judo classes a couple of times a week

and to the guy who wrote this - I think you did pretty well as around here you probably would have stabbed/shot them lol

Bloody common Midlands folk.... who do they think they are?

Sorry, you've lost me. Going to boxing is bad because nowadays people will stab/shoot somebody who's capable of knocking them out making the boxing classes pointless so he should get a knife/gun instead? Got a feeling I've really misunderstood your reply there

[Moffmo]

You sound like a pushover tbh mate

[jd26]

You sound like a pushover tbh mate

and thats being very polite hahahaha

Kinda :P

Going boxing isn't bad .... it's just that picking up a gun/knife is alot easier hence why all these skiny kids will start on anybody no matter how built etc they are.

When I was growing up guns and knifes were harder to get, and most problems got solved was with a beating. But now days with them being so easy to get I tend to stop and think before I open my mouth because no matter what I am trained in (even Jedi) one of these punks could have a gun and i'd get shot.

I'm sure we're thinking along the same lines :P ;)

Any hows - all sports teaches you displine and to walk away if you ever get involved
