vtec8ter:

She (OnMyThirdStang) was complaining about her boyfriend's car being vandalized (not some stranger's car) and you're simply assuming that insurance will cover the damage. Maybe not. Even if it does, deductables are still a factor. It's a hassle and annoying, at best.

I'm afraid your 'reality check' is gratuitous. You can always find someone with 'problems' greater than your own.

If someone steals your friend's belongings it may not affect you but you'll still be annoyed that a creep did that, wouldn't you? Can I say you have no cause to be annoyed because, after all, somebody else may die of a terrible disease today so a petty theft isn't important. That line of 'someone is always worse off than you' is rather disingeneous when used as a rationale to dismiss another's simple vent about theft and vandalism on a messageboard.

So Called 'Reality Checks' are way overvalued as they always apply to someone else, don't they? Hmmmm.

Good luck sailor, hope your military career is rewarding.
