Your partner spills their drinks in your car and the professional detailer confirms that there will be permanent stains. Do you forgive them?

[CAPTAIN-OBVIOUS]

Yes, just a car. No biggie. 😌

WTF 🤬

[NathanDavis]

it's not a problem...

I would have to be incredibly miserable, for me to care that much about a seat in a car... lol

[jimmy2]

Yes have a professional clean it and send the bill to who did that

[Pinay_ako]

It’s your car, so you shouldn’t have let anyone drink or eat there. So technically, you allowed it so it’s your fault! 🤣

[midnightmoon05]

Depends if she does stuff like that all that time. If it’s just once and she apologized I would be fine. I also would set a rule to all, no eating/drinking in my car.
I have such rule with my kids.

just to understand, my sister just gave birth in May. Her water broke while riding a taxi to the hospital. Of course she paid for it after.

We are human, things happen … people may throw up in your car/your bed one day…

period stain in the bedsheet… etc… it’s just life.

[jshm2]

What the fuck would a detailer know about stains?

You go to a professional valet instead.

Also, there is no such thing as a permanent stain on most commercial upholstery fabric. They are manufactured to last, as people will be spilling and grinding all sorts of shit into them. Hence they tend to use robust coatings. Stain removers can be pricey in some fabrics.

Also, American made car shit is probably not worth much. So you can probably buy scrapped seats for a few bucks, rather than pay to get them professionally cleaned.

But anyway, you're after opinions on relationship, not the facts of the matter. The relationship would be strained if the party refused fault or to clean or pay.

[Smoke-n-Growls]

I forgive them if they pay for it and promise to try to avoid that again.

If they act nonchalant, we're probably breaking up.

It's likely someone who acts nonchalant about a spill that severe just doesn't respect other people's property and that's a disgusting quality.

[God_of_Thunder]

I'd certainly be upset at first, but my car has waterproof seats, and waterproof floor mats. I also used to detail cars for a living, so I'm pretty sure I'd be able to get it all up, myself.

All figured, there probably wouldn't be any lasting damage, so after everything was cleaned up, you likely wouldn't be able to tell, and I'd forgive her.

[Chazmatazz269]

Probably not. You’d have to deliberately disrespect my wishes hard to stain my car because i’m very careful about what i put in my car and where i put it.
But nothing is permanent. Upholstery and carpet can be replaced. How hard does she try to fix it? If she’s like, “Oh well!”, we’re done, and I might even take her to court over it. Ell oh ell!

[loveslongnails]

It's a piece of machinery. It has upholstery that could ultimately be replaced if you're that crazy about it. What are you going to do - hold it against them for life and break up? If you did, I'd be glad for your partner because they dodge a bullet.

[Staximus]

I drive a beat up old truck. I don't drive new cars because I don't want to be worried about them getting fucked up. I used to have a sweet 73 Blazer and some asswipe fucked up the side of it and the paint was new. Then I rolled it. After that I decided I'm not going to get a car where I'm trying to keep it all pretty.

[RACSKC0B]

Depends, if it's a drink, they're genuinely apologetic, and it's not a common occurrence,... sure.
If it's the mess in the picture, that's intentional, I'd set fire to everything she owned over that BS.

[YollyM]

I would forgive them because it's hard to believe that they would purposefully do such a thing as to ruin my car.

Also staying mad doesn't reverse the situation or help it at all.

[BlueScorpio]

If looks anything like that picture, that ain't no spill. Dude decided to throw the whole damn bag of food in the car lol um but yeah I had small spills, but no biggie.

[Kori1236]

My car is a piece of shit Chevy trax that was in an accident and has rebuilt status. It’s literally just something to get me from point a to point B until I can afford a better vehicle.

[petitedollbabee]

Shit happens, and I have a cheap, old car that’s probably due for an upgrade. So I wouldn’t really care that much aslong as effort was made to clean up their mess.

[Blackcosmo]

I'll be annoyed but forgive them. There also might be another way to cover the stains but it will take some time.

[Chaser3232]

I buy with that in mind, you can’t predict what Going to happen! I make sure my stuff minimize human disaster! It's Bound to happen! If you can’t forgive accidents, be prepared to not have family friends. Cause, you’re gina be a loner!

[CalmMind]

No. Because I would have definitely told her no drinks in my car lol. I don't even drink in my car.

[Anonymous]

Yikes! I'm gonna guess hard brake while the drinks were sitting on the seat? Lol definitely forgive! It's not like she did it on purpose. That being said, I'd definitely be upset about it. Flipping out pissed? No way, but certainly not happy

[Marshymallow]

Yikes but yh, not their fault. People make mistakes. You can change the seat covering or buy a fancy covering to cover up the stains.

[anon1903]

If it happens once, yeah. Mistakes happen. It's whatever. If it happens more than once, we're gonna have a problem.

[TransAm85]

I have stains in some of my cars already anyway.. replaceable.
