Got a phone call from a friend today asking if i could go and give his Dad a jump start,anyway went jump started his car then went in for a cuppa,when i came back out noticed something all over the drivers and passenger door and was taking the paint and laquer!quickly got some water and washed it off but too late.Asked his Dad what had happened and he told me he was clearing some stuff from the garage and came out with a bottle of brake fluid and tripped!Bit disappointed he didn't at least try to wash it off instead of just leaving it.He then went on to say that it was my fault for parking on his drive in the first place! Only consolation is that i wasn't in my Omega but the wife's Pug!,not told her yet either,she was on a high after son's footy match tonight as they won 3-2 and he scored their first and the winner :)

Nasty ....  :( :(

Would have been nice if he had either cleaned it or told you .... >:( >:( >:(

You helped them out and that happens, could have told you, and how can he blame you, regardless of which car you were in.  :( :( :(

There's gratitude for you. >:(

Taking it for a quote tomorrow,a friend of mine usually charges me £30 per panel,either way i don't see why it should come out of my pocket!

Agreed bod. You did him a favour & this is how he repays you  :(
It's his fault for tripping, not your's for parking there

i cant believe that,
cheeky git...

>:( Unbelievable and disgraceful! >:(

Send the bill >:(

Next time his Dad's car needs a jump start, tell him to call the AA, not you.  >:( >:( >:( The words Sod Off spring to mind

Seems an unreasonable response. Was he being serious when he blamed you for parking on the drive? :(

It should be covered by his household insurance policy......

take him to the small claims court,just to teach the old barsteward a lesson in civilised behaviour. >:(

Time to open a can of whupass!!!!

Accidentally fall over and grab his wing mirror ripping it off ;)

Beat me to it Andy -- was going to suggest "tripping" with the can of paint you bought for the repair --- and his car accidentally getting in the way !

I feel a rant coming on, that's fricking outrageous!!! :-?
