O.k I'm a little pissed today! I lent my brother my new to me truck this morning. He had to make a trip to the dump. No problem thats what truck are for. So he loads up then puts a tarp on it so nothing will blow out. But the dipshit straps it down on the outside of my truck bed. I got some lovely scratches down to bare metal from it blowing around. The bungee cords against the side sure did a job too. He didn't happen to notice the damage either. I called him & he offered to pay. So he does feel bad about it & doesn't mind paying to get it fixed. Of course he is family so I'm not gonna have him fork out the $5-800 bucks the shop would charge to fix it! :toilet:
I'm used to truck being used & getting dings here & there. So I guess the damage doesn't bother so much. It is the fact that its there & because he didn't think enough in doing it. I mean its just flippin stupid (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) So my real rant I guess is why don't people use their heads when they borrow stuff. I mean accidents are going to happen now & then. Just a flippin pisser when somethin so stupid happens! |

Not brand new. It is a 97' Ford F-250 powerstroke with 4wheel drive. It's a Crew cab & basically my dream truck for quite a while. Was going to wash it today but I'm afraid to think how much worse it will look with it clean! My bro would pay to have it fixed! I just know I'd feel like shit making him do it! Well I'm going to go check out what it will cost me to fix it!
My inlaws are even worse. Lent them many vehicles over the past 10 years. Nothin like seeing someone you don't even know driving your car around. Oh sure you can borrow my son in laws car. Just make sure you run it out of gas first! We had some good talks about that & they won't lend any of my rigs out again. Of course I lent my mother in law my Celica & she blew up the motor. Uh It started making this noise a few days ago. I didn't notice when the oil light came on either (IMG:style_emoticons/default/fighting19.gif) . I'd say live an learn but anyone I know in need can always count on me! Just sucks getting the shaft being that way! |
