What a bad day. I was out of my meds, so had to go to the pharmacy, flat tire, called around, my tires are "special' so no one carries them, had to place an order, maybe they will arrive late tomorrow, maybe not, last time it took three days. Had to cancel my doctor appointment that I made 3 months ago. Will have to have my car towed to the car place because the "spare" tire I requested last time isn't mounted so cannot be used.
Did I mention that it's raining and I'm sick?
Of course that was only the start,
Ok, yesterday, I called for a tow truck at 3pm, they usually show up in 15 minutes, my area is wealthy and sparsely populated, most having several acres each, and more. They told me 1 1/2 hours, clear weather, dry roads no incidents, that was an insane length of time here, but ok.. Two hours later I get a call from the driver he was 10-15 nimutes way. This was at 4:50pm, I told him I had just spoken to the car place and they told me they were full for the day, they closed at 6pm
So next day, get the car towed.
What IDIOTS at the car place!
I get the car to the car place, tell them I'm there to put on the new tire I ordered and also replace the air stem & change oil, they said they'd announce it when it was ready, finally after 1 1/2 hours I went back there to ask how much longer "Oh, we forgot to announce it"
so he rang it up and all it was was an oil change and a tire repair (but with strong recommendation to replace the tire ASAP).
I about lost it.
ME: I AM HERE FOR A NEW TIRE
Him: "are you sure?
ME: YES I AM SURE
HIM: do we have a tire for you?
Me: YES, you called me and said you got it in; I orered it Monday.
Him: well, I don't see that you ordered a tire, what was it
Me: AAARRGH, so I told him, he went off looking
10 minutes, oh yes, we have your new tire, but there are two othger people ahead of you now and we may not have time to put in on today
Me: that's when I lost it, I told them I was there first, they screwed up and they'd have to tell the other people they're still working on my car
Him: Sheepishly asked my car to be brought back in for a tire change,
Me: I had my car done in less than 20 minutes, then they gave me the keys to someone's brand new Lexus and the person's house keys
me:I thanked them, but suggested they might have problems with the owner of the Lexus. Duue to this also, had to cancel my neurologist appt, $228 to cancel that appt within 48 hours, due to the tests that were scheduled.
