Buggery bollocks - who should I sue?

Discussion in 'UK Motorcycles' started by Richard Sterry, Feb 7, 2004.

  1. I did a daft thing last night - left a large aluminium stepladder propped
    against the inside of the main garage door, and then forgot all about it.

    Went back in this morning, pressed the magic button and.... kerrrrrunch!
    Yes, the nice hard top end of the steps scored a direct hit on the 1150GS,
    making a few scuffs (unless there is hideous damage as yet unseen) and
    smashing the bottom n/s corner of the MRA screen into lots of little bits.
    I'd no idea those screens were so brittle, and have spent ages gluing as
    many of the pieces as I can find back on again. I've succeeded, but it's not
    a very pretty sight. :-(

    Anyway, in the current climate of nobody taking responsibility for their own
    actions, who should I sue...

    1. The door manufacturer for not warning me against propping things up
    against the door, or...

    2. The ladder manufacturer for not warning me avoid propping it against
    something that is likely to move, or...

    3. The screen manufacturer, for not warning me that if I bash it hard enough
    it will break, or...

    4. SWMBO for failing to tell me not to do anything bloody stupid?

  8. Mmmmm, yeah, did that - nothing about insuring me for being a complete
    fuckwit. :-(

    So you don't have accidental damage cover then?

    Kicking a bucket of paint over a carpet makes you a fuckwit, it also
    gets you a new carpet.
