Not A Happy Chappy
« on: 22 April 2008, 22:17:47 »
Got a phone call from a friend today asking if i could go and give his Dad a jump start,anyway went jump started his car then went in for a cuppa,when i came back out noticed something all over the drivers and passenger door and was taking the paint and laquer!quickly got some water and washed it off but too late.Asked his Dad what had happened and he told me he was clearing some stuff from the garage and came out with a bottle of brake fluid and tripped!Bit disappointed he didn't at least try to wash it off instead of just leaving it.He then went on to say that it was my fault for parking on his drive in the first place! Only consolation is that i wasn't in my Omega but the wife's Pug!,not told her yet either,she was on a high after son's footy match tonight as they won 3-2 and he scored their first and the winner :)

You helped them out and that happens, could have told you, and how can he blame you, regardless of which car you were in.  :( :( :(

Agreed bod. You did him a favour & this is how he repays you  :(
It's his fault for tripping, not your's for parking there

Seems an unreasonable response. Was he being serious when he blamed you for parking on the drive? :(
