Arrggghhhh!

Post by cyhliu »

It's been a bad day for me...just want to have a moan sorry...

Kerbed my wheels today, a month after having them refurbished...damn, I even let a couple of my female friends drive my beloved car and even they managed to leave the wheels unscathed and then the reason I got them kerbed was because I had to go to the Post Office to pick up a parcel intended for me...which turned out to be an iPod that I refused delivery in March because I wanted a refund...the damn company still hasn't refunded me and instead have resent it to me...now I have an unwanted iPod and a kerbed wheel..bloody great...just great...

What the hell shall I do with this iPod? Argghhh! Should I go back to the company, which is pants as they are an 'internet' company and won't give out their telephone number (although I managed to get one). If I get a refund I will have to sent it back, obviously recorded it will cost me...damn it...or shall I flog it on eBay and try recoup my losses? I bought it for £205 and now you can get them for £190!

Pants, pants, pants, pants, pants.

Nightmare :(

I'd be inclined to agree with Aaron and flog the iPod on Ebay, although you won't get your £200 back its the easiest way to shift it. You can always slap a reserve of say, £150 on it. As for the wheel, gah! :evil: how bad is it? If its just the rim it could be straightened out for only a few quid...

Lol, i always seem to damage my car when doing things for other people. Curbed my old wheels when taking someone to the supermarket, someone scrached my bumper when taking my gf for a sunbed and crashed my old polo into a island when taking 4 mad girls for some drink down the local offy!

Lesson learned, being selfish is practical. I now see the fact that i cant have rear passengers (due to lowering on 17's) as a blessing!

Ha ha ha, yeah but this time I wasn't carting anyone around I was doing my own errands! I have no one to blame but me!

It wasn't that bad, didn't damage the rim of the wheel but scratched the lacquer which I've tried to clean and covered with somr lacquer, fingers crossed that they won't corrode.

As for the iPod looks like I will eBay it since no one has been interested in it...

heh, even being selfish, you can get pain... i think a good idea is to be selfish EXCEPT when shopping or doing the pub/club run........ take a taxi, bus, or WALK!
(been witness and victim to too much random carnage in car parks and on person-delivery jaunts)
