Oh, and by the way...

I know how to drive a stick now.

I got forced to drive one so many times due to the rushes we've had that now I want one myself!

OK, So...

By request of Yummi, I am reinstating this blog.

OK... lets start with yesterday.

Alright so I get this key up. Everybody gets all jealous because it's a Mercedes-Benz. Me being me, I really don't care because I usually get "stiffed" (Slang for receiving no tip) by their owners anyway. I checked the ticket, it said Mercedes R350... the color is black. I checked damages, the ticket says "Scratches All Over". I'm like Okay...

So I looked, there really were scratches and dents everywhere. The vehicle had all of 34000 ish miles on it. I'm like dang, my mom's 8 year old Kia is in better condition than this.

I noticed that the highbeams were on, since I believe in... ahem... considerate driving (Best way I can describe it now) I turned them off only to find out that the low beams didn't work. Go figure right? Then I looked at the instrument cluster error messages were as follows:

Low Tire Pressure [Might wanna get that fixed, a tire patch is $12]
Low Beam Left (Blown Bulb) [Are headlights really that expensive?]
Low Beam Right (Blown Bulb)
Low Fuel Level (Yup, no gas in the tank) [See below.]
Check Coolant Level [Well I do have to ask why this is low, it should not be with so little miles, but judging by looking at the rest of the vehicle, this isn't the first time the error message appeared and ignored]

We won't get started with the trash that was everywhere. (And I do mean everywhere.)

So I got up there, she hands me the claim check, and I'm like OK, as usual, no tip.

But she's digging in her purse, I'm like wow, really?

She gives me a raggedy dollar bill which looks older than me, then has the nerve to tell me that next time I should adjust the seats in people's cars.

Again, you asked one of us to drive your car.

HOW THE HECK DO YOU EXPECT SOMEONE ELSE WHO HAS AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT BODY TO DRIVE YOUR CAR IF THE SEAT HAS TO REMAIN IN THE SAME POSITION YOU LEFT IT IN?!?!!?

Take you, 5'4" and about oh 280lbs.
Take me, 5'10" and 210lbs.

Do you really expect me to drive with my knees touching the instrument panel? (The technically correct term for dashboard.)

I wanted to throw that dollar bill back in her face and tell her to put some gas in her tank.

Think about it.

If you've stumbled upon this...

Do *NOT* VALET YOUR CAR IF YOU DO NOT WANT YOUR SEAT TO BE MOVED. PLAIN AND SIMPLE!
