Would you be mad if...
While I was at school, i never really had space for my extra car parts, so some of my friends let me keep my stock struts, rear swaybar, stock dp, and stock wheels in their basement. I picked up my wheels about a year in, and the rest of the parts sat part of the next year.
Recently I decided to go back to a fixed perch setup so I called up one of the guys that lives at the house, one of my friends, so i can get all my stuff out of the way. When I call, I find out that they have thrown everything away in a dump day. They had mistaken my parts for one of their old roomates parts (a guy who had moved out already) and thought the parts were just junk.
Anyways, I know it sucks when friends do something nice for you and then everything gets screwed up/ thrown away. Has anyone had the "friend doing you a favor blow up in your face" situation, and if so, are you allowed to be mad? Ultimately im just over it since I shoulda kept better track of the stuff... but i do need some stock wagon struts! anyone? anyone$$?

You can't really get mad over a mistake... They were storing your stuff for free.... I mean, I'd be frustrated as hell, and I'd blame myself more than I blame them... But yeah, you can't get mad at them for that, especially after that long of a time.

**** happens but you can't be too pissed about it. Simple mistake.
Shoot my old room mate let his damn car sit at my house so long we called a wrecker and had them pick it up. We just told him to come clean it out. Didn't give him an option. Otherwise it'd still be sitting there... blown motor.

I had a bunch of customer leftover parts at the shop.
Posted up, "Come get your ****...cause I'm tossing it in 7 days."
Some responded, some didn't.
Can you guess what happened a few days after I tossed out the unclaimed parts?

Can't really blame anyone on that.. **** happens. But yeah I agree, if anyone is to blame its yourself.. but even then its one of those "damn it oh well" situations.
