Can I get a witness? - Page 2

OK, I'm trying to be cool here. I need a reality check.

A few weeks ago SWMBO creased the front fender on the 11 month old car while backing out of a parking space w/o really paying enough attention. (tautological?) Anyway, I was cool about it and the $500 deductable, merely briefly hinting at the concept of the large deductable was that we don't smash up the ride. I let it drop.

The car comes back form the body shop and the repair is acceptable. much better than I could have done, but reasonably good. What made me so fucking happy was that they seriously detailed the car. It looked better than it did when it was new. SWMBO is a slob. There was mashed avocado on and in the floor mat that had been there since six months ago, moments after we had the following exchange:

me: "There is an avocado on the floor, it fell out of the bag. Why don't you pick it up so it doesn't get stepped on?"

she: "I won't step on it I'll be careful."

Anyway, THEY CLEANED THE AVOCADO OUT OF THE FLOOR MAT. I wasn't too impressed with the tires being shined up with armor all, but they cleaned that avocado out out of the floor mat. Not to mention all the spilled coffee and sesame stick crumbs etc etc.

Plus, they washed and waxed the outside. It looked seriously new. I would have paid five bills for that stuff alone, the fender was a perk.

Today, I have to go on an errand and I take the car. As I get in I notice that the drivers side is turning from pearl white into pearl white with black polka dots.

The frigging assholes from DPW caem by and sparyed tar into the cracks in the road and I saw the moron waving the wand around and didn't think much of it until I got in the car today.

I'm not talking tiny specks either. these are nice juicy dime sized blobs 1/16 of an inch thick.

It was 5:30 when I noticed it otherwisw I would have gone down to the town garage and went ballistic on those fuckers.

I'm trying to be cool here and would like some suggestions on how not to end arrested after this upcoming confrontation.
