OV53 Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 So, after waiting a few weeks to get my wheels done I go away offshore and on the 5th day I get a message on Viber saying, "I'm really sorry, it's only a car, I'm ok though" An instant feeling of dread engulfs me so I ask what has happened. More sorries and then, "I've scratched one of the wheels a tiny bit, you can't notice it really" So now the feeling of dread gets replaced by anger! Firstly at being fooled into thinking she'd had a horrendous crash, but secondly because of this...... What is it with women and their ability to find curbs? Raging! Quote
ioneabee Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 (edited) thats exactly what my wife said to me "............oh, by the way, I'm fine thankyou" me .................. speechless ...................arguement considered lost !! Edited August 21, 2013 by ioneabee Quote

OV53 Posted August 21, 2013 Author Posted August 21, 2013 get her to blow you twice.... A fine delivery Steve! Centre stump right out of the ground! So you will have to have them done twice! Boom boom! Quote

Wasso Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 get her to blow you twice.... That was pretty good to be fair. Annoying but a bit of nail varnish will fix that. Supplied by the Mrs of course. Quote
WhackyWill Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 I have manage to curb all 4 of mine...!! :thumbdown: Quote
Dblock Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 If you get angry by that tiny little scratch you need to go anger management. You should be happy that it's not worse. I'm sure she feels worse then you do. Tbh a smart repairer can fix that easily. 2 Quote
Ricey Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 Dude you are not looking at the bigger picture here at all are you. There will be an argument at some point in the future and as a man you will inevitably be unprepared, caught off guard and particularly vulnerable to the onslaught. You now have one little rubber bullet to throw into the argument. Sadly it will only enrage the beast further but you can at least go down fighting like Boromir in Lord of the Rings. 6 Quote
Voodoo Vix Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 At least she told you, I wouldn't have, I would have just got it repaired and kept quiet lol 1 Quote

Problem is, she'll have a Gatling gun of armour piercing FMJ rounds in her back pocket starting from day 1 of the relationship. 1 Quote
Vik54 Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 an awful lot of 'Mammy' issues on here today - it is a teeny fecking scratch - if this sort of thing really truly sets someone off then I fear there are bigger issues needing to be addressed. 2 Quote
Katy Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 If that's the biggest concern you've got in your life right now, you should consider yourself a very fortunate man. With that attitude you're lucky to even have a wife. That's assuming it was 'actually' her that did it... Just sayin' 4 Quote
AliveBoy Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 Go on a track day and end up in the kitty litter, then you'll know what wheel scratching is like! Personally, I wouldn't even waste the energy in bending down to put nail varnish on it, it's happened, it sucks, oh well. It will happen again, and it will be no more or less annoying. My Fiancée caught my front bumper lip on a curb in a car park once and was in bits about it, she was more than shocked when I came out with "It's fibreglass and paint, it doesn't matter". There's much bigger things going on to worry about. 3 Quote
rtbiscuit Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 Can she not pay to have it repaired? In our house we have a "you break it, you fix it" policy. If I curbed my missus wheels, i'd pay for wicked wheels to come repair it. And vice versa. No arguments its normally just a "I'm sorry I had a little accident I've already booked the repair, how about I cook dinner tonight instead" or something to that like. 2 Quote
ioneabee Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 we have a financial policy in our house - it goes along these lines "what she earns is hers, what I earn is hers" - I think she snuck it into the wedding vows - either way I would pay in the end 2 Quote

HaydnH Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 We don't do the guilt thing here, we're in everything together. What, you mean she has to wear a blue dress, earings, watch, shoes and handbag whenever she goes out with you in the car? Quote

I seem to get road rash all the time and pretty much refurb my wheels once a year! I guess the pot holes in Surbiton are worse than where you are. Quote
Adrian@TORQEN Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 Phil, come on man, be serious! That's nothing to worry about, it's only a bloody wheel! Quote
