The car repair from hell
It was really a small ding with some paint chipped off in my right front quarter panel. One of the receptionists at the office had pulled out and tried to exit the parking lot one way only to find she was blocked and when she backed up into her space she, well, misjudged it a bit. Poor thing I thought she was going to pass out as she waited to tell me. No worries though, we did the insurance information exchange thing and called our insurance companies etc, etc. So now the "shop" (aka the dealerships autobody shop) has had my baby for 13 days, and even though it's not their fault its been 13 days driving a Kia Optima...no offense to all you Kia owners there but this car stinks, literally. 13 days of sitting in a car that smells like someone was chain smoking in it for the last 2 weeks before I got it. 13 days of refusing to clear the junk that has been smeared all over the windows in the name of rental car company cleaning. 13 days of rushing from home to work back to home so I don't have to sit in the thing for longer than necessary. And the worst-13 days of no gym since I forgot to pull my gym bag out of the back of my car. Yeah, I know I could have/should have called the rental company up and complained but at first I thought it was just going to be 3 days, after all it's just a bit of a dent and paint, but it took 5 days for the rep from my receptionists' insco to come out and do another appraisal so hopefully I'll have my car back Monday, if not...sigh...
