Not all 20 something's want to party and drink shots most days. Even young men.

I doubt that has anything to do with age just different sexes. I don't know many 30 or 40+ females who like to talk about BHP or torque!

Maybe you just could'nt satisfy her? hehe

Just a lesson for all here, maybe make some of you think twice. If anyone has any tips on revenge Im all ears.

Last weekend whilst juggling family responsibilities I was rushing to get my sons haircut and thought I would kill two birds with one stone. Parking in the local council carpark I decided to get my car (ISF) hoovered out and washed. Ive done this before on a few rare occasions, but the problem this time around was that I couldnt park in the right space for the job, so without thinking the manager asked for my keys. In a moment of madness I though, what could possibly go wrong??

Upon my return all was done, my car had been moved to another parking bay after they had finished, I had a quick look and gave the guy £20 even saying "keep the change". Only as the last words came from my mouth did I look at the back of my car to realise it had been reversed into what looked like a brick wall!.

At this point my brain was nearly heommoraging, and a sizable arguement then followed. To which ended up with him telling me he wasnt going to give me any insurance details and that he wasnt scared of me as I was a mutherfecker! He basically denied everything and around 10 of his fellow polski carwash men all stood there looking to back him up. I ended up calling the police who were unrefeshingly useless and said they were on the way as he had to give me his insurance details and it sounded like the situation was deteriorating which it was quickly.

After an hour of patient waiting, I called to find out that they werent coming as they had decided that crashing somebodies car and they pretty much offering them out when asked for insurance details is now acceptable in the UK 2015.

To make matters even better, he then said he would only talk to the police to which werent coming. This is a 'proper' established carwash who have quite a setup in a council carpark.

Ive pretty much accepted is my fault for trusting the low life w*nker, but apart from writing a stern letter to the council cant think theres anything else I can do apart from pay for the damage. I did force the guy to give me a receipt but that was half a$$ed and theres no way Im going through my insurance (Excess etc)

The best bit was the 12 year old police operator telling me to not approach him any more and to write to him requesting his details, which fell apart once I reminded them for the 20th time I cant write to a car park and he had just told me to go f*ck myself repeatedly.

So any tips on revenge would be most appreciated. The day ended off with me waiting in the car park for 3 hours arguing, trying to scare off customer and him telling me that my car was cr*p and that he has washed much better and had more powerful ones at home (WTF!?!) Maybe in poland this is how you exchange details after an accident?

Rule no.1 - Never for a split second trust anyone with your keys - EVER.

Rule no. 2 - If you ever have an accident and its your fault, tell the other party to f*ck off, maybe offer a fight? as as far as the police are concerned thats not a problem.

Why all the reposts and no comments with them?

All the posts on this page, except the picture one are just people quoting other people's comments, and nothing to add, weird.

About time. You can usually tell a person who smokes in their car, they stand in supermarket queus and stink.

Cant believe anyone smokes in a car with a child, or at home for that matter. If adults want to smoke, fine, but don't force it on others, especially children.

Double whammy the other day.
I went to visit my gran in hospital. In front of the entrance is a sign:

"Two spaces reserved for taxi's"

There are three spaces marked out.

I've often wondered, are sign makers generally thick or do they just write what they're told without questioning it? I saw two vans on the same day that both said "No Job To Small".
Perhaps they are simply making it clear that they don't want to work in the town of Small.

What's wrong with that?
