It\u2019s nothing big, something isn\u2019t working right  in the cooling system. It shouldn\u2019t be any big deal to get the problem fixed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I started this process at 8:15am. AAA wants to know what the problem is, \u201cDoes the vehicle Start? Is this just a jump situation etc\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I tell them It starts, and why I need a tow to have it serviced. I think nothing of it. The pickup is scheduled for 10:00 am. I pour myself another cup of coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AAA Sends me a text message saying that the car will be picked up at 10. Okay\u2026 Then I get a text saying they\u2019re going to be here at 9:04am\/ Okay\u2026. I hop in the shower, I get dressed and I\u2019m done by 8:55. 9:04 blows by, then another text, 9:37. Okay. The time blows by then another text saying 10:30. Okay\u2026 That time blows by. Then another text saying 11:00. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now I\u2019m annoyed!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have some plans that require I be someplace at a specific time. You know. <strong>Like an appointment<\/strong>! Where you\u2019re at a place <em>when<\/em> you say you\u2019re going to be\u2026<br><br>I\u2019m considering canceling the whole deal when low and behold the tow truck shows up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m thinking, \u201cGood we can finally get this show on the road\u2026\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The tow truck driver blocks the entire street and partially blocks the cross street. Okay I\u2019m thinking, \u201cwe really need to get this show on the road.\u201d The tow truck driver calls me as I\u2019m heading down the stairs \u2026. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>REALLY???? You\u2019re 1 or 2 hours late, you park like a deranged chimpanzee, and you\u2019re too lazy to get out of your fucking truck to actually come to the address you\u2019re supposed to be coming to?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then he sees me and hangs up the phone. Gets out of the truck and says \u201cYour car won\u2019t start???\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I say, \u201cUh no the car will start but we need to get moving.\u201d He gets pissy, and throws me attitude! <strong>OH NO YOU DID NOT!!!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I tell him I\u2019ve got an appointment and he says, \u201cI\u2019m just the driver\u201d I\u2019m thinking, \u201cThen you better fucking drive!\u201d  I\u2019m trying to maintain my calm, so I don\u2019t say anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then I think about it and say, \u201cWhat\u2019s going on? You rescheduled 3 times. \u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then he gives me that \u201cI\u2019m just a driver,\u201d bullshit again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I say I get that. Then he says, \u201cCall someone else!\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My brain didn\u2019t even reboot. I said, \u201cGood idea! I will.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I stomped back into the house and immediately LIT UP AAA!  While I\u2019m on the phone with AAA I can still see this asshole tow truck driver blocking our street and part of the main cross street.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I tell AAA that they are never to send anyone from this Phelan Towing company to my address again.  I tell them he\u2019s still sitting out there playing with himself while I\u2019m talking to them. I also tell them that I haven\u2019t been quite this mad in years! I even said thanks cause now I know I\u2019m alive!!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I cancel the call and will deal with it tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I hop in my other car and take off. I have to pull around the idiot tow truck driver who is now blocking a different area of the cross street.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I make it to my appointment, hit the grocery store afterward, and also stopped by the Sheriffs office to ask how we need to handle the escalating situation with Crazy Pants and all the trashy people living there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I got home about 1:00PM finally was able to eat something. I kept putting off eating because I knew as soon as I\u2019d prepared something for breakfast the tow truck would be here and I\u2019d waste the food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Again, how about actually showing up when you say you\u2019re going to?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let me fucking guess\u2026 Being on time is racist????<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Called AAA to get a tow truck so that I could have the Chevy towed to a repair facility.
