Am i a grumpy whinger because...

i told the gf to be more careful with the seats.

theyre black leather recaros in really nice condition for nearly 170k miles but the usual boulster edge is getting a bit tatty/cracked

told her to be more careful as replacement seats cost a bomb

Dunno, just reminds of being told off by your parents when you were younger for resting your feet on the coffee table or something:p

Is it rude? yes. Will it harm the coffee table? no.

A friend of my dad caused £3k's worth of damage to our coffee table sticking his feet up on it. My dad physically picked him up and threw him out the front door and has never spoken to the bloke since.

I learnt pretty quickly that putting my feet on the table was a bad idea.

We were not allowed to eat chocolate or sweets in the car and took our shoes off in the back so as not to get mud etc everywhere. Mind every single car we had was always for sale as that was his job so a load of mud in the back could have knocked off a couple hundred quid.

Don't really worry about my car as it's only a defender, so muds a feature, together with the scratches and dents. But I get really annoyed if my missus mis treats her new car.

What really annoys me is when I'm coming up to a give way, she always feels the need to put her head down and rummage around in the handbag for something while at the same time blocking the window and my view with her big fat stupid head. The first 5 times I politely said to her, "mind your head." She couldn't grasp the concept of why I needed to see out the window for oncoming traffic... clearly that was beyond her.

One night we were going for a chinese, and came up to yet another give way... what does IT do, sticks it's fat head right infront of the window blocking my view completely. I blew up and started to shout and rant, she responded with... "no one else asks me to move, it's just you, your this, your that. Anyway when I dropped her off at the chinese to collect the meal... I grabbed her handbag from the passenger floor and launched out the window and proceeded to drive away leaving her.

I got home nice and safe without anything blocking my view, she made her own way home via public transport.

A very happy ending... we made up a few days later and needless to say she hasn't put her in head in the way since then.

Make a new rule "No eating or drinking in the car" quite simple and easy to enforce.

All my cars have a strict "no eating or drinking" policy - applies to the wife and the kids + friends (i.e. anyone). They can always walk if they fancy a drink/bite to eat.

I have been know on the very rare occasion to allow ONLY water to be sipped if stuck in traffic etc.

Kids have to take thier shoes off if we've been walking anywhere muddy.

Just an antique table passed down through the family for the past x generations. They cracked the marble top and it cost £3k to have someone take it apart, turn the marble over, re-grind and polish it and put it all back together. Not taking into account the piece is probably now worth a lot less than it was prior.

If there was ever a candidate for setting on fire it was that swine who spoiled the coffee table.
 
Havn't had the other half issue yet, but for me it was freinds that played with the radio volume.
I don't mind changing it, putting on a CD etc but it was turning up the volume straight away, causing every-one to shout in the car. I also felt I wasn't concentrating on the raod as much when this was happening.

But I can see when I get a car my partner won't respect it the way I'd hope he would. He know's that smoking isn't allowed already, but due to the way he was brought up he's tad slobingly. For example when taking clothes off they just get dumped where he is standing at that moment, rubbish gets left around the place even when the bin is in clear shot. It's not like I am against using the bin as a basket ball hoop. I do that myself!
I am half expecting a collection of empty pepsi bottles, haribo wrappers, the odd sock and a smelly tshirt somewhere in the car.
 
Tell her from now on she rides in the boot. Make sure you keep a jack and axle stands in there and go over speed bumps whenever possible.

Now play the volume as loud as you want but don't touch my levels.
I got them set just the way I want 'em.
