Ok I need to share with you this. I am not sexist as I know there are women who can handle anythign with wheels. heck I've known several big rig drivers who are female. Being female doesnt mean you cant drive, it also doesnt mean you can though either. Unfortunately this is about a female who cant drive and who worked for a rental company.
Ok backstory: My wife(2) who lives in another mobile on the farm here rented a washer from these people. Well recently a friend got a new one and wanted to give her the old one which was better then the one she is renting. So she called the folks to come get it. Supposedly if we loaded it up on our pickup and took it in it would void somethign in the contract and they would charge us a lot more in fees and "damage" assesment. Yeah okay.
So for the past month she has been trying to get them to schedule a time to come out when A: one of us is here, B: they are open.A is relatively easy right now as I am sick and not doign much or having many odd jobs come in. B you would think is easy as they are open 10 hour in a day. BUT here is the rub. They have either passed the uck around and not given a time to her or they have scheduled and then not shown. Which is rather annoying at the least. I mean i wasnt goign anywhere anyhow but she at least has to go to work and stuff herself.
Finally today they show up. At 1500hrs when they said they would be here between 1000 and 1200. Onlly 3 hours late. And didnt call. With clear ice free roads. Lovely.
My wife(2) had already had to go to work so she wasn't home and I was getting ready to leave with the family to go somewhere (only to the local library but still) so I told the lady that she was late, the person wasnt home and she needed to come when they say they where. Yeah I was grumpy and not starting the conversation very well but oh well.
So this lady immediately cops an even bigger attitude by starting in (after giving a huge weihg tof the world woe is me huff) that those times are just a guideline and that they have a right to come get their stuff when they can do so and that they hadn't heard from or received a payment from the wife(2) and that since she hadn't contacted them and they had made several attempts to contact her (which they havent) they where goign to come get their stuff.
So basically I told her she needed to leave as this is my property, the person they have the contract with is not here (I'm not on the contract) and that if they want to talk to the person they have then they should actually do so and if they wanted their stuff they are welcome to it but only when they come when they are scheduled to do so when the contractee is home.
She got all bent and stormed off and got in her van. A big F-350 extended cargo van. OK now a little info about my driveways. I have two of them she chose to use the old one. Well the gravel on the old one only goes so far and then it turns into mud. My wife doesnt care as she drives a jeep. Also when it turns to mud it goes downhill on a slight grade. With trees on oneside, a woodpile in another and the trailer straight ahead. There is a turn around which goes to the garage but I have a tight time in my D150.
Anyhow she was so pissed she threw the van into reverse on the gravel (she had at least parked there) and didnt go anywhere. Yes the roads are clear but the driveway is not. All who belong on the farm here know how to drive on snow and Ice and so i dont plow my diveways.
Well since she couldnt go backwads she decided to go forwards. Into the downhill sloping icy driveway. So you can see where this went she got stuck. So to get her butt out of here I tried to be helpful and give her direction to get the van up and into the turnaround. She ignored me.I suggested I go get my truck and pull her out she said "I dont want some redneck damaging my van!" Well then get the van out yourself. I did sugested she go easy with the gas butt she wouldnt listen and kept spinnign the tires. Finnally she would burn through the ice and get mud and slide a bit/ She wound up going into the flowerbed by the edge of the driveway. She wound up getting it into the woodpile. She missed my paw paw tree by inches. But finally she got turned around and back out to the road.
I told her that she couldnt drive and to never set foot on my property again and that if she ever did I would personally see her removed from the property and she needed to learn how to drive. her commetns where that sicne I was a man I knew how to drive an d was only saying she didnt know how to dive because she was a woman and well the conversaon ended there as I said you got you van unstuck get the hell outta here. Told her she was number 1 and turned and went inside. Where I immediately called the store and complained to the manager, and called and complained to corporate.
They both agreed she would not be coming back to my property (I told them I woudl call the sheriff and have her arressted for criminal tresspass if she set a toe on my property) and that they can come back to get their stuff but leave her at home. They are goign to be coming back tomorrow at noon (A specific time) They are also going to be bringing me some new flower bulbs to replace the ones she dug up with the van and supposedly she is goign to apologize to me. I somehow doubt that last one but it would be nice.
I am sorry if this is long and venty ranty but I wanted to share with you this. This lady was a total female canine and needs to learn how to handle a vehicle or they need to put her behidn the wheel of a vehicle she can handle. Hell my mother in her 60s could handle a 30' panel van with a trailer behind it on ice why cant this lady handle a simple f350?
