I drove out to my usual place for walking my dogs, on the way passed a group of lads and didn't give it a thought - anyway when I got back to the car they had 'painted' my car with dog poo and damaged the windscreen wipers - I was upset and angry that someone would do that to me fortunately had kitchen roll in the car so cleaned it up best I could and then got the wipers fixed.
Next day received a letter from the bank - uh oh!! no it was brilliant a cheque for £300 GB for discounts not applied to my home insurance back in 2004/07 so I think a little treat to me involving a trip to my favourite fabric shop will be in order (I won't spend it all on fabric though) so which is it to be - a mariners compass or something from the Bella Bella book - mmmm tough decision

How awful. Why on earth would they want to do such a sick thing. I can't imagine anyone wanting to play in dog poo. I am sorry that this happened to you and that someone didn't catch the boys in the act.

litacats 02-28-2011 12:35 AM

there are some really sick people around to do that sort of thing, and they just think it's funny. I hope they get WORMS and I hope someone does it to their pride and joy 1 day.
Glad your day turned out better tho, have fun and spend spend spend.

I agree with you. I hope it gives them worms too!!!

pojo 02-28-2011 03:12 AM

That is sick.

CarrieAnne 02-28-2011 03:27 AM

That is just so gross. Yep, worms for them, ick!

emerald46 02-28-2011 05:17 AM

I really hate meanness! What is the purpose?

Painiacs 02-28-2011 05:35 AM

Shame shame. Karma!

never thought of worms - yes that would be justice enough

I'm so sorry that the first incident happened to you. Can you report it to the police? After all, if they did it to you, they might very possibly do it to someone else.

I'm glad that your day got a whole lot better, because after that, you deserve it.

pkary 02-28-2011 07:23 AM

Congradulations on the unexpected funds! Makes up for a lot of poo for sure! I really have no use for people who do not pick up after their dogs! Kids will play with anything nasty and the inconsiderate dog owners are just giving them ammunition.

Naturalmama 02-28-2011 07:56 AM

How awful. Dh always says - one boy, one brain, two boys, half a brain, three boys, no brain. I'm sorry you had to deal with this meanness. But what a nice surprise! Hope you have fun with it!

I'd use a bit of that bonus check for a professional carwash!

First off, thats terrible what those boys did. What is the matter with people. Now...for the good stuff, not sure how 300GB is in US dollars but I say for sure...a trip to your favorite quilt shop is certainly in order. Enjoy that, you deserve it.!!

Juliebelle 02-28-2011 02:04 PM

that is just gross so sorry they did that to you car

Oh, Marriner's Compass for sure. I want to make that one so darn bad and I just don't feel I am ready for it and if you are, holy cats, go for it! Not a tough decision at all. Edie

Thank Goodness this is the form of "entertainment and destruction" they chose to do. You and your dogs were unharmed. Yes, there are some sick people in this world --- and some people who don't have anything to do.... like work.

Bobbin along 03-01-2011 07:17 AM

on the bright side--i'll bet they are still trying to get the stink off their hands!!! :wink:

cazann 03-01-2011 10:01 AM

I hope by now your over it, the disgusting things that lads will do for entertainment,
I live in Margate and have 2 dogs and hope i never come across them,
Hope the windfall makes it a little easier to cope with,
Now if you need any help spending that i can be there in about 20 minutes lol,
have fun spending it,

julia58 03-01-2011 10:27 AM

Have a blast shopping. And I'm so sorry you were the unfortunate victim in the kids prank.

grannie cheechee 03-01-2011 10:56 AM

Their turn will come, and just think you got two surprises that day. Enjoy the fabric, and just laugh at the other surprise. LOL

Margie 03-01-2011 04:20 PM

I will NEVER understand why people do hurtful, stupid, spiteful, mean things to others. I am so sorry this happened to you..glad you managed to get everything straightened out. Enjoy the bonus.

sylvia77 03-01-2011 04:29 PM

Janedee, I'm sorry to hear what those punks did to your car. I am starting a venus rose quilt from the bella bella book and so far it hasn't been too hard. Picking out the fabrics is the hardest part for me. I hope you decide to make one as I'd like to see how the quilts turn out.

Grandma Peg 03-01-2011 05:17 PM

Glad your day ended better than it started.

PattyS 03-01-2011 07:26 PM

Seems when a group of kids whether girls or boys get together so often their way of fun is hurting someone. If I had ever been part of a situation like this and my parents found out I would have been beaten. After working with middle age school kids and seeing many in trouble for one reason or another parents would come pick up the kids to take home. Many times these kids went out hitting and yelling at their parents. Parents are scared of their kids. We can only hope when these young kids grow up and own a car they reflect back on what they did.

DirtyPaw 03-01-2011 07:31 PM

What a group of jerks they were. Maybe the poo had worms from the dog that dropped it and it will be passed on to those hoods. Darn crackers...

donnalynett 03-01-2011 07:42 PM

One night when I was on patrol we got a call to a bar fight. When we came back out of the bar a bunch of guys were urinating all over the squad car. I can't understand how some people think these kinds of things are "fun".

LOL taz em where it hurts. Sorry the devil came out in me.

auntiehenno 03-05-2011 09:56 AM

what goes around comes around, so watch out lads!!!

sewingsuz 03-05-2011 03:36 PM

that is a hate crime, you should have reported it. I am so sorry that happened to you.

Sallyflymi 03-05-2011 03:42 PM

What a sad state to say about a lot of kids these days. They have no respect for other people things and they can't have any respect for themselves. Sorry about the mess they left you. Hope you next week is a lot better
