Default Do I tell my mate what his mrs did?

I was at hospital with a mates mrs when she needed an escort to her car. I walked up levels of the carpark to find my mates ls3 clubbie hsv parked on the roof.

My mates mrs offered to drive me back to the entrance of the hospital. I took the lift.

I thought id do a covert operation to assess how she drove his car. Gearchanges (in carpark) were satisfactory, but as she came down the ramps she scrubbed the front bar on every ramp.

No regard at all, I tried to let it pass but again and again as she went down the ramps. Scrub and scryb.

I couldnt take it anymore, I asked what that noise is and she responds its probably the front of the car scraping? Like there was nothing wrong with that. I asked if my mate would mind the scrapes, she giggled and said id just say he did them on the weekend?

Do I tell him?

Yes as its recklessness of his possessions
No as its not my business
No as its just a hsv ls3?
No because she would just deny it
Yes, otherwise im harbouring a terrorist?

I think you think too much...LOL

I would have thought he'd notice any damage to his car and put 2 and 2 together.

My wife dinged my car once, came in the house crying she was so upset that I would be angry...I didnt mind because that side needed an excuse for a respray at the time and that justified it...LOL

Obviously you have nothing better to do with your time.

Get real and keep out of their business. Or do you like causing trouble?

I'd let it go. What he doesn't know can't hurt him. You'll only annoy him by letting him know his HSV is getting scraped and also annoy her by snitching it.

It's a lose/lose situation mate.

Well I took the last chocolate biscuit at work today and hadn't eaten it, when another work mate come in and said she felt like a Tim Tam.

I never said anything. Should I confess I took the last one? Wonder if the sky will fall on me if I don't

Hulk_BA, just let it go. Surely your friend is not stupid and knows what is going on.

Who cares it aint any of your business.
Geez our cars scrap on carpark ramps etc the whole time. Its part of owning a lowered car.
My missus panicked the day she scraped my old Fairlane on our driveway as she was backing it out. It didnt worry me as I used to do it all the time.
Same as the day I borrowed her XR8 and ripped the entire front bar off it when I hit a concrete stopper in a carpark. I come home with it in the back seat , tail in between my legs waiting to be yelled at and she just laughed at me , told me to learn how to drive and come out and helped me fix it.
Do you know that your mate doesnt scrape the nose all the time driving through carparks?
Do you feel that you have to interfer in other peoples relationships because yours is that bad that you had to sneak an exhaust system past your missus and do it on the sly?

Hulk never ceases to amaze.

Is a missus a wife, or some hanger on?

If it is indeed his wife, mind your own business. It's her car FFS.

Or do you not consider married couples possessons to be theirs? As opposed to his and hers?

After so many brain dead threads, have you still not learnt?

So you were in the car, and you asked her if what she was doing was wrong, and you thought this was covert. Making some assumptions here, but you dont seem to care about their loving relationship, so just blackmail her for sex. But for godsake make sure one of you are using contraception, I could just imagine how bright the off spring would be with this gene pool.

You have got to be joking, Surely.
