Is someone trying to kill me?

The_Valeyard

Hello all

Bit of an over-dramatic thread title but still,


I just had my fourth flat car tyre, each time, nails and screws found buried into it since July.

This ever happen to anyone else or am I just having a bizarre bit of bad luck?

Reminded of that Ian Flemming quote from Goldfinger "Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times, it's enemy action"

lahalane

If they are trying to kill you then they are adamant about the nail in the tyre method...

kneemos

Might be easier ways in fairness.

L.Jenkins

It's the mafia.

Artful_Badger

Maybe the guy you have mending the tyres thinks he's fixing shelving ?

The_Valeyard

Could be easier ways, or just just be bit nail obsessed like Lahalane said. Either way, its becoming an expensive slow death.

You live on a construction site

The_Valeyard

No construction site near me at all,

Maybe some mechanics have gotten together to try improve business, who knows.

Parking where you shouldnt really be? Some neighbours are b***ards.

Maybe your a b***ard neighbour.

I suspect there's a screw loose somewhere.

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you

Dont think so, I park in my designated spot, never have music blaring or cause any problems, just odd.

Someone's definitely screwing with you, OP.

Find the bastard and nail him.




Even I'm cringing at this post.

kneemos

Stop driving by Woodies.

Gee Bag

It must be the same evil baaastards that tried to assassinate Dana during the last election.

Take care OP your dealing with dark and powerful forces.

Not sure how to reply to this really. Just no....

Archeron

Well I was, but seeing as you're rude enough to announce it in after hours, I don't think I could be bothered anymore.

There are a selection of smileys found next to the reply box for your convenience.

Might I suggest the ":D", it really is beautiful this time of year.

They get wheel old wheel fast.

Is it the rear tyre? Because usually a screw or nail lies flat on the road then the front wheels drive over it and flick it up so then the rear wheels drive over it.

Any enemies or loon job exes? I'm starting to think the 6 or 7 nails/screws since March aren't really accidental anymore either.

Stop, you're killing me. Oh, sorry OP, that was a bit insensitive.

If you stop acting odd, the neighbours might stop spiking your tyres.

Are you a man and have you recently made a woman extremely angry? If so then yes she's trying to kill you.

No worries, sure if we cant laugh about things in life, then whats the point

Sorry, I meant odd, as in the whole thing is odd, not me exactly, im just slightly odd

Nope, havent done that either, and my better half is pretty damn happy with me at the moment, earned lots of brownie points lately, so doubt she is trying is behind it.

You need one of these bad boys.

Are those like anal sex vouchers and can they be spent elsewhere? I think the person trying to kill you is probably a Stephen. He most likely lives nearish to you and works in some form of nail factory, straightening or possibly pointing nails to an industrial standard. He won't have any pets because he'll be a prick. Maybe a cat.

freetoall

Would you get a security camera or a spot light. It might help

zenno

Maybe someone is trying to save me ? I haven't had a puncture in six years of driving, it's a miracle. I'm serious as well.

Ruu

And I seem have lost quite a few nails and screws since July, interesting. You could say I don't have my head screwed on....


Yyyyyyyeeeeeaaaaaaahhhhh!

Wheel came quite loose on my jeep about a year and a half back. With six studs it sounded just like a wheel bearing so wasnt overly pushed... until it began to wander a bit. Pulled over rather gingerly and looked. One nut missing, another snapped when I tightened it and the other four tightened up fine,borrowed one more from another wheel. OP do you have a nice car? People tend to resent people with nice things.

artanevilla

This happens to me on a regular basis, for over a decade its been going on. Except for one tire in 2004. It was a Goodyear.

Chareth Cutestory

Oh get a grip everyone. It's a very sensitive issue and we should all tread carefully.

zenno

I'm tyre'd of listening to all these punctures people are getting. Must be a lot of people still getting replacement tyre's of remoulds

First two were front wheels (either side) most recent two were back left, could be, good theory though, thanks

Suitcase packed, would a plane be safe, nails in the wheels of a plane could be lethal

Mention of that kind of voucher would quickly remove all brownie points and lead to the need to buy flowers and chocolates

Neighbours might not like a spotlight, unless I could hire some guy to operate it, while wearing a black uniform. You actually can get cameras for a car, but they are very expensive and borders on paranoia.

Just a standard car to get me to work and back, nothing fancy or special.

Jeeze first the car, then the plane? At that point you'll be sick of the muvvafeckin nails in the wheels of the muvvafeckinplane.
