Keyed

Keys have the ability to scrap paint. Ahh - we already know this. Over a year ago, I thought my car had been keyed. A co-worker came outside with me to look at it. Nope, it was just tar across the side of my car door. No big deal. Whew!

However - yesterday, I noticed a white scratch in my paint. Three small ones on the side. It crossed my mind momentarily that maybe someone keyed my vehicle. Then I just assumed it was a scratch from something else. Denial, maybe. Wrong, definitely. Last night, after running an errand for a friend's baby shower gift, I went to mom and dad's to wash my clothes. I was getting out of the car, pulling out my laundry basket and my recyclables. The recyclables were light and in paper and plastic so I placed them on my trunk. At just that moment, in the same moment I was grabbing my laundry basket... I noticed the scratch; long, white and twisted around to make it that much longer. All I could manage to say was "this is bullshit".

Someone had a good time on my trunk. Someone damaged my stuff. Not cool, y'all. Not cool at all. Is it someone I know? Is it not someone I know? Was it random or could this be part of a much bigger problem? Was this nothing more than an isolated incident involving someone I know? Is it someone who knows of me even if I don't know them... hmm...

Probably random, either way, disappointing. Come on - there's no need to damage other people's stuff. What kind of thrill does it really give you? And if it's someone who's trying to upset me... well... you've damaged my paint job... good for you. It's malicious, yes. Stupid, yes. Making me cry, I don't think so. Making me boil on the inside, nope.

Sadly, you waste your time on bullshit.
