Ahhh f*$& this dealer! Can't believe this.

I think everyone here completely understands the immediate anger that bullshit would have caused you... but I don't think you're quite grasping what a few people have already tried to tell you in this thread. No one is questioning your right to be angry, but it's times like that you need to prove you can react like an adult.

It doesn't matter whether you were Catholic educated or how polite you 'usually' are; if you go off the deep end like that as soon as someone rattles your cage (even if that involves manhandling your car) then you've got a temper problem. You flew off the handle, big time. Over what? Some dumb kid disrespecting your car and then being a smartass to your face? Did you really cite bloody "driveline damage" as a reason for becoming so irate? Mate... get real, honestly. I would be inclined to excuse them for laughing in your face at that one.

That story does like a horrible experience, but you can absolutely blame yourself for most of it. That might not be what you want to hear, but it's far easier to side with the dealer on this than you. All you had to do was walk back into the office and ask to speak with the manager. But instead you stormed in and lost your shit at employees who had no part in your grievance. Employees who couldn't have truly appreciated why you were so angry because they weren't there and all they saw was some headjob stomp in and start yelling demands at them.

You've got absolutely no reason or right to "get back at them" as you put it. You threw a full on tantrum over something relatively insignificant, which could have been dealt with so very easily. I would have called the cops on you too. Sure, they didn't have to antagonise you, as you claim they did, but you can hardly cry foul over a little antagonism considering you went into meltdown mode on them over next to nothing.
