why cant anything ever be easy?!
I am so furious right now.
I've been in desperate need of new tires for awhile now, but it's just hard for me to wrap my mind around $300 for new ones. Anyways, last week, I finally sucked it up and called to make an appointment for tires and an oil change, just to get it over with. Okay. Fine.
Then, my freaking fuel line broke. Gas was everywhere. My car smelled like a freaking gas station. Obviously, not safe for me to drive. My dad fixed it enough so that gas wasn't spilling out. I called the place where I was getting my tires fixed and asked if they could fix it, they said yeah, no problem, just remind them when I get there. Okay. Easy peasy, right?
Get there today. Remind them of my fuel line and oil change. Get an estimate for just my tires, which is $100 more than what they quoted me. Okay. Already beginning to get a little mad. But whatever, it'll be fixed. Besides, how much more can a fuel line and an oil change be?
I'm waiting an hour. Trying to study with CNN blaring. Guy comes out and informs me that he has to order the fuel line and it'll be about $111!!! And, of course, he cant get the part in until tomorrow. And, it's not at all safe for me to drive my car. It's 10:00 AM on a Tuesday, everyone I know is at work or school! I call my brother - the one person I know who isn't at either - wake him up, beg him to come get me, but nope, he 1) doesn't have any gas in his car and 2) is too high on ectasy right now to even drive. Great! Call my mom and ask her to come get me, even though she's at work. Of course, she agreed, or I'd be stuck there forever.
I ask the guy what time my car will be done tomorrow. He says the part will be there any time from 9:30 to 11. I tell him that it absolutely must be ready by 11 because I have a test at 12 that I have to take. He assures me it will be. But like I'm going to believe them after the hell they put me through this morning. I don't understand why the guy I talked to didn't just ask me what type of fuel line I needed so he could have just ordered it then and they could have had to it ready to fix this morning?!?!
I'm interested to see what my bill will be tomorrow. Well over $500, I'm sure. I have a feeling they didn't even change my oil though, even though I asked them 4 times!!! Ugh.
Oh, and I really need to figure out a better way to release my anger than crying.
