Sabotage or Simple Accident? The Fencing Gear Feud Continues…
Our fencing enthusiast is caught in a duel of a different kind. Her boyfriend, who has always been uncomfortable with her passion for fencing, allegedly drove over her pricey gear. He insists it was an accident, but the circumstances raise eyebrows. The gear, placed safely on the grass, was run over as he backed out of the driveway, drove forward onto the grass, and then reversed again. The damage? A crushed mask and two dented sabres, totaling £462 ($635). His solution? A cheaper £50 ($69) kit from eBay. Even her sister thinks she should accept his offer. But should she? Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…
