So i get home tonight from shopping and go outside to put some stuff in the outside fridge, then of course i had a look at my VS (project car)... Only to find my 2 dumb housemates had been in there and knocked over a full tub of black car paint and its leaked all over my front seat and seeped dwn through the back of the seat onto the floor!!! So now im looking at getting new seats straight away rather then waiting for a little bit!
Sorry about this rant but i just can't believe that someone could do that to someone's car knowing how much money, time and effort they have put into it and then they just act like nothing at all has happened and wonder why i have the major shits and wont talk to them.
I was tempted to wipe black hands all down the side of his VE HOWEVER i can not disrespect someone elses property like that.
Once again sorry about going on but i needed to get that off my chest.

sorry to hear!! sucks when you take pride in something and someone else just doesnt give a shit
unlucky mate, lesson learned lock up your car.
fortunately seats for a VS arent hard to come by, a local wreckers should have some.

apparently wasting my time with 97 cubic inches
milk doesnt come in 1.6 litres
my geminis
Hand them the bill for the new seats. or just start unbolting the seats from his ve.
"" "" Agree with the above comments lol.
That's the problem. we all clearly respect cars to much to do something to someone elses.... even if an accident they should have done something oat leastst called you fast.

all jokes aside, id be shaping up to whoever had done it. shit like this doesnt go unpunished.
that sucks man! and total respect for not doing the same to them.
but I agree with CLUTCHY 100%, fair is fair. what sort of duchbags do you live with?
Nobody wants to play with me
yeah get the seats and then hand them the receipt... only way id let someone off that is if they were straight up and honest about it and were good mates
if you mess something up tell the owner and offer to do everything you can to fix it... i have to agree with you that some people have no idea about other peoples property
In my experience if someine is straight up about making a mistake and offer to rectify it, no issue, it's only when I get messed around that I get annoyed.
My first instict is to tell you to rub his face in the sticky mess while screaming in his ear that he shall be paying for new ones, then take his address book and inform him you know where his loved ones are.
That will get almost anyone to do almost anything.
Then I remember that not everyone is perfect, and the only correct response to this is to confront the offender and discuss it with them, be angry all you like, but being shitty with them and refusing to talk to them wont get them to pay for new seats.
Although not so long ago I would have gone with my first instinct, I was taught well.
As much as i'd love to do something to his car i just can't... I wouldn't have been as annoyed if he'd actually said hey i accidently knocked over the paint tin in your car and well its made a bad mess but i've tried to clean it up a bit, i would've still been very very annoyed however i could've dealt with it rather then just getting my cranky pants on as such.
Ride:42 i think you could be onto something there with the 4 by 2... however i'd be more tempted to do that to the housemates gf rather then him even though his the one who spilled the paint. I do agree with fair is fair but i know 100% trying to get him to pay for new seats well my chances there are buckleys and none.
DM 55 WA - your right it doesn't go unpunished i just got to find a way to get back at him that will make me feel better and do it without touching his car.
