Who's to blame?

[debodun]

Saw this on a TV show, but it made me wonder who would be more at fault:

A husband has a brand new expensive convertible sports car which he doesn't drive to work. The wife needs garage space to help one of the kids with a school project. She asks the husband to move the car. He forgets and a co-worker picks him up for work. The wife moves the car out and leaves it in the driveway. There is a sudden downpour and the top is down on the car and the upholstery gets ruined by the rain. Husband blames wife and vise versa.

The wife is to blame. She was the person who left the car with the top down.

 

[fuzzybuddy]

I blame the dead wife.

 

[chic]

The wife. I agree.

 

[JaniceM]

The above posters are all correct.

 

[Aunt Bea]

Blame it on the Devil.

Whenever you borrow or take something that belongs to someone else, even if it's your husband or wife or even a friend or a neighbour.
You are supposed to return it in the same condition as you found it when you borrowed it.
How do I know that? I really don't but it's my philosophy in life. If you rent an apartment you are supposed to put it back in the same condition as when you first rented it. Even now if you rent a car it's a condition of rental.
I had a huge tool box in my back yard which was open to anyone that wanted to borrow a tool.
It was like a library. If you didn't return it on time you paid a fine or you couldn't borrow again until you paid.

Odd that an expensive car would have fabric upholstery. Even if it did have fabric upholstery, left to dry probably minimal if any damage would happen. It's a car not valuable irreplaceable antique furniture

Did the wife know how to put the top up? Sudden downpour & the wife is where to be unable to put the car back in the garage?

Not enough info for me to place blame.

I remember back in the day when I owned a convertible and used to drive in the rain with the top down on occasion ... my dumb younger days.
But anyway, it was a Ford convertible with leather seats and upholstery. I don't recall any damage from rain.

Blame it on the boogie...

So what did Judge Judy say?

 

[RadishRose]

It was the kid. He had 2 weeks to get that project done, but did he? No!

Sat around playing video games all the time, can't even clean up his room. There's an old sandwich on the floor for god's sake! Laundry all over. Just wait till his father gets home.......

Oops....

Actually IMO,
The wife bears more blame than the husband. Since she moved the car, she had the greatest responsibility to show care.

The above posters are all correct.

Janice, they are all correct? Even Fuzzybuddy?

About the upholstery, who said it was fabric, Knight? Wouldn't leather have been ruined even worse?

I agree with everybody; it was obviously the wife's fault.

He could be- depending on how mad the husband is when he sees his wife wrecked the car!

 

[toffee]

part' so i sentence her to 7 days car washing ....

The wife is to blame. She was the person who left the car with the top down.

If done deliberately, then no question, if its somewhere in between, i.e. she's mad he didn't listen, and not thinking straight or in a hurry making her forget to put top up, then hubby can share a bit of blame perhaps(?). .

I can see you’re either a total pushover or an enabler for people not taking responsibility for their own actions

I am a push over, but I'm also one for making mistakes, and this makes me appreciate others may do so, though as I did say, I'm not ruling out the wife did it on purpose to teach him a lesson, "not" to forget, anything she says, test his love or whatever(?). .
