Hump Day Humor…

… Last week I took my son camping. My car was hit in the campground parking lot. While my car was in body shop undergoing repairs I was issued a rental. This rental car was rear ended last night by a kid texting and too busy to notice traffic in front of him was stopped. Then I return the rental and pick up my car, after much explanation and paperwork, only to find my car in worse shape than when I dropped it off. The body shop dented the passenger door and scraped a 8 inch scratch along the length of the trunk hood. When I got a thousand apologies from the body shop the rental car company called to say that the other guy’s insurance company only authorized a rental car in the range of $25 daily. They issued me a $30 a day car and expected me to pay the difference. Oh. Oh… and the body shop’s estimation for the repairs was 4 days. It took nine. They said I was being charged for the additional days. I was having none of that and firmly stated so in some very un-Christian colorful language. Sigh. More shit to confess, I suppose.
