The things that people do

Talking to my Dad last night and he told me a couple of funny stories from when he was a young man.

Back in 62 his mate Mick decided to buy a Burns guitar that was all the rage with The Shadows. My Dad had bought a fender telecaster for £93 over 3 years but Mick was that rich he bought the Burns outright for £100 cash. They got back to my Dads house to try it out when Mick realised the action was rubbish. he told my Dad to go and get a hammer and chisel because he was going to take the guitar apart and chisel where the neck joined the guitar. My dad begged him not to and told him to go back to the shop where they will set it up but Mick was having none. He took the chisel to the guitar and decided to chisel out half an inch of wood and put the guitar back together. It was destroyed and beyond repair.

About 3 years later my Dad had a brand new Fender Stratocaster but after two weeks he got fed up with the colour. My uncle was a car paint sprayer and my Dad asked him what the 'in' colour was at the moment and he pointed to a metallic sparkly blue colour. My Dad handed him the body and told him to spray it. About two months later he started to realise why you shouldn't spray wood with car paint.

Have you got any stories where people have had something and done the most stupidest thing with them?

My mate bought a brand new 56 plate Fiesta, firstly he got wound up when someone was talking to him and he snapped off the stalks for the indicators and radio controls. Later he drove the car down the side of a bollard scratching up all the body work. He drove it into a bush. Then finally he got a hammer and smased every panel and window, then took all the wheels off and ripped the seats out.

Yes he is a fruit loop.

The closest I can get is about the mid 80's where a bloke at work bought a new walkman on the saturday and on the monday after an argument he threw it on the floor and smashed it to pieces.

I can top that with the same mate again, he got a K800i and received some dodgy texts from a girl he was trying to get with while he was still going out with his girlfriend, his girlfriend started going through the texts and he grabbed the phone of her and smashed it on the ground. Think he's done that to a few phones. He has some serious issues, I'm trying to get a pic of the car, so will post it when I do.

About 5 years ago I was in Blackpool on a stag weekend and the grooms best man bought a new top phone at a good price. Come the evening we went for an Indian and he was out of his head. He started to play Star Wars with a poppadum being a spaceship and his new phone being Darth Vader. A fork turned into Luke Skywalker and he threw Darth Vader into his lager. I pulled it out, cleaned it off and he did the same thing again. I once again pulled it out, checked it was working but this time it ended up in his soup. It died.
