Begrudgery is not just an irish phenomena.

martyos121

What on earth did he have to gain from that? Absolute begrudgery of the highest order.

Should've just muttered "posh ****" under his breath like the rest of us.

Hope he gets caught. I bet a re-spray on an Aston Martin doesn't come cheap.

£9000 according to the article. I suppose the insurance will cover that.

I can only hope he has a good reputation and no criminal record and his career is now destroyed. If he's a scumbag he will wear the fame like a badge of honour.

9 grand according to the article. I doubt he will have the money.

He doesn't have to pay for it all in one go; 100 a week for the next 2 years should do nicely.

Will never understand this. How is the child going to be raised if this is how the father behaves? Disgusting.

...few months time you'll see somebody wheeling a pram along, and a wee hand wielding a key will suddenly pop out...

Eh the dole in the UK is a fraction to what they offer here.. average between £57 & £73 per week. So it's an ASBO & insurance claim unfortunately

Hmmmm lets see how smug he is with his fancy car when he sees this :rolleyes:

What's smug about owning a nice car?

And then its cunts like these who will then go to get a car themselves and moan about insurance being so high. Or scumbags smashing up bus shelters and then wondering why fares are so high.

Its the most stupid of criminal acts, nobody gains. If he smashed the window and robbed a stereo or laptop there is at least some sense to it. If you are so inclined why risk the penalty for "taking" £9000 when it could have been a more worthwhile risk.

My missus had her new to her convertible keyed last year outside Ikea of all places. It was a mint condition car without a mark on it.


It wasn't a begrudgery thing, just pure vandalism. Possibly because it was a clean example of the model.

pickarooney

Are we sure the car wasn't in a handicapped space?

Meh, if she bought a convertible in Ireland then she probably deserved it.

People can begrudge you anything, tis in the nature of the begrudger.

The thing which actually caught my eye was the pram. That's not a cheap pram: http://tonykealys.com/stokke/xplory/stokker-xploryr.html

So this guy can't exactly be living in poverty himself.

Welfare gave it to him to replace the old one sure.

Maybe it's Rupert Murdoch's car.

He is still increasing insurance for everybody else, so he is attacking lots of people he has no issue with, probably including himself & friends & family.

If you want to attack a car there might be other ways, like smearing dog shit on the door handle.

I'm betting Murdoch gets driven around in something better than an Aston

Nah, too much trouble lifting the dog up, even then, he mightn't even want a crap!

Oh I get that completely, it's just everyone was straight away jumping on the begrudgery bandwagon without knowing any details!

I see begrudgery isn't strictly an Irish thing..

I hope the key is okay.

So, man keys car. Man looks well-off.

Immediate reaction is "welfare sponge". Because god now, no good, law-abidin', taxpayer would ever be a rolling douchewagon. Nope, must be the filthy lower classes.

Unsure if this is a really bizarre blind spot that people in AH have, since you can pretty much bet on how long it takes for someone to spout off about it on any thread like this, or if there's just a couple of people who are tunnel-vision obsessed.

I was thinking that myself. Not - of course - that the motivations for his action justify his crime. But at the same time I did not look at the video and automatically assume it was a guy scratching a car out of begrudgery for wealth.

For all we know the driver was in a handicapped space - had just kicked the guys dog - or when parking had nearly run over the tiny but expensive pram the guy was pushing around. There is any number of possible motivations the keyer may have had.

I repeat little would justify his action(s) really - but I am not willing to jump to any assumptions - nor have I in my life had that much rage or undirected hate in my life to even consider doing something of that sort. So it is a head space I can not put myself in. I have as much concern FOR this criminal therefore as I have interest in seeing him prosecuted for his crime. We can view him as a scumbag criminal - or as a possibly miserable and unwell human being.

I hope he is caught. I also hope he gets help.

What are you on about?

I've a fair amount of driving experience over several decades.

I've driven a CHEAP convertible for the last 6 years.
Winter & Summer. Like everything else in life, its not for everyone. But when I was recovering from serious illness and driving through the lanes with the top down on a winters day with crisp blue skies and could hear the birds singing it was my tonic. When I was driving it into the ground during the height of the storms on new years morning a couple of years ago it was one of the best times I've ever had behind the wheel. The interaction and conversation I've had in car parks with all kinds and ages of people interested in this little go kart has been great and gone a long way to restoring my faith in people in general.

Out of curiosity - have you ever tried driving a convertible? Go on, don't be scared of FUN, everything in life doesn't have to serious or purposeful

Ireland is an ideal country for a convertible. We get plenty of dry days and a nice summers day here is a perfect temperature.

In hot countries its just uncomfortable in a convertible as its too hot.

Armchair Andy

Saw this on Liveleak yesterday. Some guy did a GIF of his face just before he keyed it. It's class.


First one who finds it will get SFA.

I'm the man in the video. I was having a bad day and I just lost it. I'm very sorry for what I did and am getting help for my anger issues. Sorry everyone.

Anger at others because you're stuck driving a pram is wrong.


Unless you have DNA test results to base your anger on, then you can work away.

Delighted he was caught on camera.

I know I had plenty of landlords supervisors and dirty stinking cheating boyfriends over the years who deserved their cars keying I just hadn't the guts

Keying someone's car doesn't equate to having guts, in fact it's the entire opposite, it's cowardly. If you have an issue with someone make it direct to the person, not take it out on their possession(s).

Hmmm no idea of the motivation but I will pretend I do in proper Gaurandian style and claim that this is a natural and justified reaction to the gentrification of his local area by an over privileged elite who are destroying his community and he's striking a blow against the white male Borris Johnson voting yuppies.
Actually no sympathy at all for the car owner, somebody lives in Hackney who drives a 100,000 over powered car probably is a w@nker with too much money.
Embrace your inner begrudger and be proud!

Also about the insurance thing, how come its ok for the blind guy that fell out the window to make a ridiculous claim against his friends house insurance if rises in premiums are such a big deal
