Duuude you wanna know the real bad part? I left this out for the shortness of the story, but since she got her “new” car she’s insisting that it goes in the garage. Technically everything will fit, both cars in gives is 600mm between the walls and each car, but I’ve stressed this is a bad idea since A) her car was lightly damaged by the previous owners and she doesnt want to pay to fix it so is it really worth the squeeze? and B) 2 cars in such close proximity with a young kid? someone’s gonna get scratched.
One is a 45k suv, the other is an 8k 12 year old hatch, one is worth protecting the other is not.
And yet, she still managed to scratch the SUV when her car wasnt even in the garage. So she’s lost parking privilege’s in the garage.
Or she could just reverse in. Its a 2023 “Luxury” (cough bullshit cough) SUV. its got reverse parking sensors. There were so many points at that this was a preventable accident, and she knew how obsessed I was with looking after it I just cant accept she was unintentionally this oblivious.
Oh please. May I remind you both that it was a minor bingle with an office chair. Shit happens. No one died. Lucky it was in the garage and not in an actual public parking spot.
A minor bingle that she was warned time and time and time again would happen if she wasn’t more careful?
Thats not an accident, its ignorance.
I get some people dont really care, a car is a car and thats totally fine but there is a lot of history here and I lost my pride and joy and ended up with this SUV. I offered it to her when she needed a new car “no no no” she says “I want my own”. Sure. We buy something together and she immediately steals my SUV and scratches it, thats shitty no matter how you look at it.
Well that’s good. That’s a start. It doesn’t matter how many times someone warns you about something, these things happen. I didn’t realise how upset this has made you so I apologise for that.
She needs a tennis ball on a piece of string suspended from the roof. When the ball hits the windscreen you know to stop.
Or, hear me out, learn the size of your car and garage. The sizes do not change. Figure it out and work with it.
Harsh, but I have very little sympathy for people who aren’t aware of their car when driving/parking.

REVERSE SENSORS and it still happened?
Nah, that’s car privileges lost right there. Also, when parking one should always to reverse into the spot if practical.

Completely avoidable damage to a new car. I’d be frustrated and upset too.
But, I am very critical of poor driving and parking, so my judgment in such situations will always be very harsh 😁

Did you get rid of the office chair after it happened?
She did, yes.
