to expect that ALL my tyres will be inflated when I go to drive my car????

This has been going on for weeks now. Every time I try to go out, I have a flat tyre. Called the tyre place out so many times they suggested I get a portable pump, so I did, and have used it three times now.

Car in for mot for a week and had no problems with tyres at all.

When I pump it up it stays up.

So, someone is deliberately letting my tyres down.

Why?

It's really upsetting to think that someone dislikes me enough to bother with this over a period of weeks and weeks.

twats.

Thank you, rant over. You can get on with your day now.

Maybe you have picked up a slow puncture since the mot?

nope. Got car back yesterday. Took car to tyre place today after pumping it up and they confirmed that there is nothing wrong with it, and someone is definitely letting them down.

Yep, it does sound to me like it is deliberate. What sort of an idiot would something like that?

what a nightmare and what an arse they are!!

Do you think someone could be doing it over night? Maybe you could set a trap?

I don't understand it... I haven't upset anyone and there's only one teenager in the village, so probably not him

a trap sounds good.... like a mouse trap that will SNAP on his hands??

Or you could set up a tempory camera or something over night? Or a booby trap that throws baby poo over this person?

PMSL at the only teenager in the village

But buggeration re tyres. Perhaps there's a mouse with a "sssssssssss" fetish who likes to come and nibble your tyres at night?

put loads of dirt of the tyres. or something really sticky

I think I'll just have to get used to adding an extra ten minutes on to every journey so I can pump the tyre up before I go out.

Never happens anywhere else, only outside the house, so I think definitely someone is doing it.

Hope it's a bored kid (or the only teenager in the villaaaage) coz that's easier to stomach than someone having that much hatred for lickle old me

I could drive over dirty nappies - that would stop them
