So i went up to the shop today to get some milk. The car park at the little shopping centre is famous for getting dints and bangs in the sides of your car due to old people who cant see over the wheel of thier car, or stupid women driving 4WD's. (No, don't bother calling me sexist, its logic. I wouldn't drive one of them in a suburban area)
But today i took a chance, and as you readers know, i drove my new car up there. (The car that i have only had for a month). So i go in the shop, get the milk, pay for said milk and get in the car and drive the 375 meters back home. Then A comes outside to show me what he bought this morning from town and he sees it... The tail light is smashed.
Someone had reversed out of thier parking spot and backed right into my car! And instead of stopping and leaving a note on my windscreen, (You know those notes "Im sorry i bumped your car, Heres my number...")
I was so angry that people don't even care about other peoples property. And in times like these, its hardly an easy thing to just go out and get the electrics repaired and a new tail light. These things are pricey! But know, The people who hit and run don't care! But i am willing to bet $100 that if this happened to those people, they would crack it and feel the same way!
I was bought up to treat others how you want to be treated and i try to do that every day. And i can honestly say that if i had bumped into someones care and left damage, i would leave them my details!
After i discovered this financially pricey and not pretty vandalising of my car, i actually fantasised about what i would have done and said to the person if i had caught them. I thought about taking a base ball bat to their car plus other assorted thoughts that may deem me insane in some countries.
And another point: If i had witnessed such a thing happening to someone Else's car, i would help them out and get the number plate so i could give to the victim.
Just shows what sort of careless world we live in. Not even your neighbours will look out for you these days.
But the plus side, We are leaving for our holiday on Friday.
