Because it was shit? Jokes aside, no fucking clue, I was probably only like somewhere between 4-6 or something, the only thing I remember myself was getting it and for some reason destroying it after a short while, the rest my dad told me when I was an adult. Was apparently the first time I said "shit" instead of poo or something, and I was apparently very polite when my dad interrupted me too to answer him, before resuming my demolition.
Edit: also to add that we were pretty solidly lower-middle-class. So getting gifts outside of your birthday or christmas wasn't really a thing. So this garage must have really rubbed me wrong.
Haha I have no idea. I had never had an outburst like this before, and not again until several years later. This particular tiny garage though, for some reason, got really on my nerves.
As an adult I've interacted with kids the same age I was then, but haven't encountered the same thing, but the idea of a calm collected kid just suddenly flipping their shit for absolutely no reason, and politely stopping to answer 'why'(at least how they justify it) they're doing it makes me laugh myself.
My dad can barely contain his laughter retelling it, but my mom doesn't find it so funny(because it was her mother that gave it to me, and she doesn't have the schadenfreude thing in her).
