Most expensive waterproofs ever.

Post by Kwacky »

The battery in my car is dead. So I take my wife's car but there's no petrol in it.

£25 petrol.

Drive to J and S. Find a cheap but decent 2 piece waterproof oversuit.

£40

Go to pay with my my new debit card. The PIN isn't working. Never mind, I'll go home, get the old debit card and drive back.

Outside my house are some roadworks, so I decide to dump the car half parked and run in. As I pull in I hear a crunching noise. Shit, I must have run over a barrier.

Nope, I've dragged my wife's car against my neighbour's car. Feck.

I did the decent thing and told my neighbour. She's been very nice about it. She's had someone hit her car in the past and drive off. I have asked her to get a quote and then I'll pay.

Balls.

No bling for the Bike for a little while Kwacky! But glad the neighbour was pretty good about it no insurance details and that!

Actually that might be worse.... Whilst I fully agree there is no perpetual motion, I think that had I dinged mrs Gee's car the reminders about it would define perpetual. (doh)

Oh don't worry. Mrs Kwacky hasn't said anything yet but I know she's got this one filed under "for a later date"
