Ohhh can do better there! This happened last weekend:
Washing the car half on the kerb and half off, so that all the crud goes on the road and not on my drive! Three women and a kid came up the road, one women looked early 20's, one late 40's and the other in her 70's, the kid was on a scooter and 'not in control'!!! I moved out of the way and stopped washing the car so that they could get by, the youngest woman went past holding the kid, smiled and said thanks, the other two just smiled.
As they came back down the road 15 mins later I was talking to my neighbour, the kid came down on his scooter lost control and went straight into my passenger door with his handlebars and fell to the floor!!!
The woman in her 40's said "Ohhh are you in the wet?" and totally ignored the fact that he'd just bashed my car! I said "I'm more worried about my car than him being wet" and went to see if he'd damaged it, the younger woman said "Is the car OK?" which instantly calmed me down
(showing she cared), I said "Yeah I think so, good job it wasn't a metal bike it would have scratched or dented it". I was now 100% calm seeing that there was no damage
As they all walked passed the old woman said "Ohh it's OK it will wash off"....
red flag to a bull lol ...I said "A dent or a scratch wouldn't just wash off love". The woman in her 40's then turned around and said "You shouldn't be parked on the pavement anyway", my reply "You should keep him under control", she said "It's illegal to park on the pavement", I thought it's not worth arguing about, so just looked at them...then the old woman said "Just ignore him, he's always moaning about his car" and they all walked off
I'd never seen any of them before in my life!!! I felt like punching the old woman in the face
Lol even my neighbour said "I think you have the right to have a moan after their kid has just bashed your car with his bike!!!"
