Re: What REALLY grinds your gears?

Getting ripped offed by some pecker head who knows he is ripping you off. Went to leave my office last week and could not find my keys. I got to work at 7am and its now 8:30 pm and I'm tired and ready to leave. Keys no where to be found. I figured I had probably sat them on my desk and a customer had picked them up unknowingly. Called the last few customers in my office and no luck. Called wife and she cannot find my spare and its now 9:30. Called locksmith and they gave me a price of $130 and I told them to come on.

Took him an hour and when he got there the price started changing. It's now up to $250 and I started raising hell. So he was nice and could get it back down to $200 blaming the company for the price change. At this point I said just do it and want to punch the guy in the face the entire time. When finished he said it was $200 plus tax for a total of $212 which at the time didn't question. Next morning looked at the bill email to me and what he called a $12 tax was listed a a convenience fee. So he also lied about it being a tax.

Next day I'm sitting at my desk and one of those customers I called walks in and says look what I found as he held up me keys.

You should have punched the customer in the face. Lol. Not sure exactly what you do but if you could manage to charge your customer a “tax” of about 212 dollars that would work.

Yup! You know what is an epi-fucking-demic? People just cruising in the left lane. VA actually has a whole campaign about it now. That causes such a giant clusterfuck.

Let me know where you can do more than cruise and get away with it. Any of the semi well traveled areas where I drive (between Richmond and DC) have cops with speeds guns lying in wait, thick as flies at the dump. There are stretches of I-95 and I-295 where there are constantly one of them every half mile hiding in the wooden median. I go 4-5 over the limit and that is it.

I commute up and down 95 in the shit every day, if you are camping in the left hand lane move over.

Where on I-95? I am guessing your commute is from Stafford to DC area where there isn't any speeds traps with cops sitting in the center divider with speed guns out. Anywhere from exit 140 south on I-95 down to Richmond there are speed traps galore. In your disrespect for left lane "campers" please drive 80 mph on I-95 between Stafford and Richmond on your free time during daylight hours for a couple months and tell me what your average miles logged are between the times you are stopped and ticketed.
