Make an identical set of scratches on the other side with a folded sheet of printer paper.

Idk it wouldn't even cross my radar to be annoyed at someone for closing my garage door.

If the house is connected to the garage and people are going in and out then that's possibly an issue. Idk just a large group situation like this it's easy to lose track of a kid and next thing they're on the road.

True about them being dingbats though.

Clearly the person closing the door should be embarrassed and feel kind of stupid for doing it with the tailgate up.

But everybody does stupid **** sometimes and making a tiny scratch on someone’s minivan is not a big deal - definitely not one that requires a big financial sacrifice to rectify.

But I get the goal of just ending this as well as possible for the wife. It’s just that there’s a ceiling on that amount where it would piss me off too much.

are 4yos incompetent enough to run away randomly? seems like you have a decent idea of whats going on by that age.

id be super pissed about paying for that at all. growing up, i hit my moms lexus' sunroof twice with a baseball in our front yard/driveway. she used superglue. either me or my sisters knocked a quarter panel almost entirely off with a soccer ball. broke several windows and many more screens out playing soccer in the house. gl but id cut that off around $50

It doesn't change the situation at all, but we have a car that has a hatchback and our garage door clears it when it is open. Basically, to my wife closing the garage door as the last one entering the house made as much sense as closing the front door if the last one entering that way.

The good news is she will probably never close anyone else's garage door again. Also, the van nits will likely warn people not to close the garage door if they have the hatch open.

Good opportunity for a passive-aggressive, laminated note next to the garage door control panel!

if its that important to fix it cant they put it under homeowners?

wouldnt you feel like a dick getting a "friend" to pay $x for something so trivial? are they gonna sue the city if the wife hits a curb while parking?

Rexx,

I think you kinda missed the initial point. That right there tells you how much the little tiny scratch would have bothered me.

It is the two verticle lines and maybe also the black part, though I am not sure how that happens.

Not really trying to get out of it because they care about their minivan more than I care about anything on earth, but ridiculing strangers with the help of other strangers is cathartic since I am gonna get walloped for at least double my Trump tax cut.

Cit, but isn’t there some point where the cost to completely make up for something is unreasonable?

Like if I break someone’s souvenir from their trip to a remote monastery in Tibet, do I have to get someone to go and replace it?

Obviously extreme, but in this case going to a body shop and getting those scratches fixed seems excessive to most of us when there are simple things that can be done to hide the very minor damage. Although, sure, if the jackass cares this much OP should pay up to the guys deductible and just write him off as an *******.

why on earth would you be upset someone closed your garage door?

I went over and closed the neighbors the other night because they left it open. She was super appreciative

Lol. We're discussing a less than brand new mini van used to cart around preschoolers. A minivan that was about to be loaded with as many snot laden, sticky fingered, preschoolers as would fit, so they could go to a field and haul back pumpkins.


The "damage" is so minuscule you have to zoom in on the pictures to see it.

Finally, please head over to the Banksy thread because someone there believes it's ok to destroy a 1.4M painting, that doesn't belong to you, and there is no possibility of repercussions for doing so.

Tell the guy you are pretty handy with sandpaper, a ball peen hammer, and rattle-can spray paint and offer to fix it.

If the view of your own property is extreme when compared to that of a normal member of society, then the onus is on you to protect it. So then this is the fault of the person who left their tailgate up in the garage where the potential existed for it to get a "scratch".

If I walk by and rip a blade of grass from your lawn, and your view is that your lawn is now ruined and i owe you a new one, then you should have had a fence around your lawn to prevent completely expected and normal things from happening to your must prized of positions because clearly replacing your lawn is ridiculous.

This entire dramabomb wouldn't have even happened if the lolmoms didn't draw the ridiculously lolbad conclusion to carpool all the little keeds in one car. The fact they decided they wanted to all remove their car seats from their respective cars to put them all in one stupid minivan, incorrectly of course because you need some real stremph to do them correctly, makes the whole gaggle of them borderline ******ed. lolsoccermoms forever and always.

That aside, cit is right about projecting what you would do yourself onto someone else. That's not how it works. Unless this was a cavernous garage, shutting a garage door with an open hatch on a minivan is just plain dumb if it is anywhere remotely close to the garage door opening.

But the pictures...good lord fffffffuuuuuu. It will be interesting what the estimate(s) they throw at you will say.

I bet everyone had a BLAST at the pumpkin patch!

I'm a little surprised the coordination was possible with the risk of pumpkin allergies, pesticides, fungicides, and threat of illegal aliens at the pumpkin farm. Place is a death trap

27,
My wife is likely as strong as you, but you are right about all of it regardless.

Regarding the pumpkin patch, fun was had by all.

Johnny,

Your wife can not do 20 LEGITS bro.

Let ye who can do 20 legits cast the first challenge!

What are legits again?

Something mystical that 27 uses to make himself feel superior to MLY but refuses to prove as actually existing irl!

I banged out 10 legits at practice this morning with my team and was UNFAZED.

Another missed opportunity from the Howard Larry meetup is I should have banged out 20 legits while I was getting them blazed as **** in the park!

Johnny, legits are fundamentally sound push ups.

Did you spot the loch ness monster swimming by in the background while "banging one out" this morning?

She just did 25 as a test and we already hit the gym today. Any challenges? We have a body shop bill coming up.

ETA: if she’s gonna be dumb, she better be tough.
