    Well that much property damage and I’d be pretty pissed in the moment as well. Hard to say for sure, still If he honestly thought my dog was going to die and did all that, then it still shows that deep down they are a good person regardless if their actions turned out to be a mess.

      I’m not even sure I’d be mad actually. I mean, I’d want the guy to pay for it, but assuming he’s just high as balls and not an actual psycho I’d give him a chance to fix his fuckup.

      Like. Having a friend like this ensures that you will always have really good stories assuming you can maintain healthy boundaries.

          yyyyyyyyes, but also it’s not like he “was driving”… he used a car to break through their fence in order to “save” the dog: he didn’t get in the car to go for a drive and accidentally ram it through the house

          that’s not to say it’s okay, but they’re very different things. context and intent are important

      Yeah I’m in a similar spot, I’d be pissed, but honestly, that wouldn’t be too bad of a repair cost. Exterior doors are like $200-400 for the builder grade ones it almost definitely was, and the fence would be similar cost. If it were me I’d want to drop the charges and just settle for a check for the repair cost and a good apology for going too hard on the acid
