You really couldn't script this shit.
It's been a busy 48 hours in Goth World but Mariposa wanted the 'nest' re-arranging, which is cool, in a 'not at the fucking moment' way, but I acquiessed, as you do.
"I'd prefer not to put that in the garage as it might get stolen" she says.
"Yeah, bound to fucking happen" I replied, and wandered off to do the shopping.
Heading back to the 'nest', shopping bags in hand and feeling satisfied about an interesting, and somewhat eventful day, I noticed somebody taping up the garage.
Taping up a garage is not normal behaviour, even in Goth World.
"What the fuck are you doing?" I enquired, in French.
"Sorry" came the reply "I crashed through your garage door"
"I can bloody well see that, but how? It's not even a direct line from the road" I countered.
The explanation kind of weedled it's way out eventually, but suffice to say, the garage door is FUBAR.
Looking on the bright side, the twat could have driven off and said nothing (a very Belgian concept), although he might have had to explain to the police why he had portions of a garage door all over his car.
So, should I ask for compensation and what would be appropriate?
