Over-reacting?

i feel sorry for u dude! Since u spent that much time on the car then she has the balls to scratch her nail over it! Thats very inconsiderate and almost selfish?



You could try and talk it through if she still says the same then either blame the "latin blood" im from a sicilian background myself so sometimes a good excuse lol!



I mean I spent a saturday polishing my g/f's car and she takes it to an drive through car wash so from now on I just put NXT wax on it or wash it as it was kinda a waste of time.



John / Giovanni lol
 
Yeah really, it may seem trivial but bad stuff often starts out with little things like this. It seems apparent she knows how passionate detailing is to jrocc but she went ahead and did what she did for spite anyway.
 
Yeah, sometimes little things are the tip of the iceberg, and that sure sounds inconsiderate to me. Even if she doesn't care about your car's paint, she oughta care that *you* care. She deliberately damaged something that you value, and to me, anything like that is *not* trivial. Best-case: she didn't realize just what she was doing and got so bent by your reaction that she didn't really think about it clearly.
 
After reading everyone else's response, I change my mind:



Dump her, who needs an inconsiderate b*tch scratching up your car. After all, your perfect. You've never done anything or said anything that would be considered "inconsiderate" to her.



Was she wrong? Yes

Is this a big enough issue to get bent all out of shape? Definitely not.
 
no problem, just drip nail varnish remover on her freshly manicured/painted nails while she sleeps!



:angry ;)
 
Sometimes after I get done detailing a clients black bentley he'll come out to talk for a while and end up leaning against his car. My reaction is to jump up and tell him to watch out but it's his car and he can do what he wants with it.



He's paying me to keep it looking nice so he doesn't have to worry about it.
 
I don't think jrocc 1212 over reacted at all. She was out of line no question. If you bow down and kiss her a$$ with an apology that she doesn't deserve you will be setting a dangerous standard for dealing with her in the future if and when she pulls another stunt like that.
 
Dude, as others have said, there is more to the situation than just the car. She either does not know what is important to you, or she knows and does not care.



With that being said, I have been married 24+ years, and my wife knows I am a nut about clean cars, she loves me deeply, yet she STILL leans against the cars, or puts stuff on them, and when I say something, she replies with a 'lighten up' or 'I forgot' (again) comment.



Just go with the flow, wait till she wants you to respect something that is important to her, and maybe try and make your point at that time.



It is almost impossible to change someone unless they want to change, no matter how much they care for you...............
 
If some chick did that to me, Id be all like "Hey.... missy... get in the kitchen and bake me a pie"
 
I agree with Bill D. If someone really loves you they would respect your wishes. Knowing how much you are in to detailing should be a big incentive not to do what she did, if she really loved you. I would start searching for another girlfriend.
 
i dated a girl for a year and a half and she knew how much i cared for the appearance of my car

so much that she got jealous of my car

even though i only worked on my car when it wasnt possible for me to see her anyways so it didnt affect our "time together"



she used to always try and put her feet on my dash while riding around and that would really drive me nuts and one day i slapped her feet down after fair warning



she flipped out that i did it but she had a warning and knew that it pissed me off doing it but she did it anyways





you are 100% in the right unless this chick just started dating you and she had no clue that u love the finish of your vehical

but even then she needs to learn
 
The more you get to know someone the more you learn how to push each others "anger" button. Sounds like she was intentionally trying to p you off. That's unhealthy for a relationship and you should let her know. If she always does crap like that, just tell her you can find a woman who won't hehe.

It would be completely different if she accidentally scratched or leaned up against your car. This was as blatant and intentional as someone punching you in the face...except it was mental abuse instead of physical.
 
just better watch out if things dont work out cause she knows your weak spot your cars finish



park at a friends for a few weeks and get a rental car with the extra insurance and drive the bloody piss out of it

I've been on this forum for a bit and haven't read a simliar situation. That's why I posted. It's all good. We talked. We both apologized. She says she honestly didn't think it was going to scratch and she was just joking around. I don't buy it cause I've shown her how easily the thing gets marred. But, hey, I'm not gonna keep going on with it. All is good. I'll polish it out tomorrow.



Thanks all for the responses.:wavey
 
She sounds really incosiderate to me, especially if you have mentioned this in the past.



I wasn't there so I don't know if you overreacted or not, but I would have been pretty hacked off as well.
 
OK here is one for ya.....





I'm detailing my Step Daugters boyfriends bike and it's coming out nice. I was checking some things in my Baja and he came out of the house to look at things and when he bent down to tie his shoe he Placed it right on my painted bumper and leaned down on it.. I kept my cool and asjed his to move his foot he was like why it's just a bumper.I said how about I take and put my foot on your bike over here... He said That's different. He didn't get it and to this day I don't think he will. But that is his LAST cheep detail.
