Prepping for our road trip, I decided to take our car over to NTB, National Tire and Battery for a $24 rotate and balance of the tires.
There are two stores a few miles from here, one west a couple of exits down the freeway, and one south east less than five miles away. We have never done business with either store, so I stopped at the closer store because I am lazy. The store was closing in 95 minutes BUT if I wanted to wait, they "would get my car finished tonight".
I was a little curious why he said tonight, when it was only 4:25 in the afternoon. But being lazy I did not ask. I assumed he meant "we will get right on it, but it might take the full 95 minutes.."
He looked stunned when I said I wanted to wait while they did the rotation and balance this afternoon.
"Sir, It is going to take four or five hours to get to you...
What?
Yeah, we might not be done until 9:30 or so...
I don't think so, see you later, gator."
Then I hopped in the car and drove to the other store. I was there in 8 minutes and they were not terribly busy. Neither was the other store, but that is neither here nor there... These guys got me in and out in 35 minutes. An hour after I left the first store I was home. I guess I know which store I will be going to next time.
And I had stopped at Costco for gas on the way, which almost 20 minutes. But that is a bitch session for another day...

Glad to see I am not the only one bitching around here!!
I have been slacking in my bitch-and-moan-fests. I'll try to do better.
I guess I just need to try and let more people piss me off, so that I remember it when I am ready to blog!
I think it is awesome, not enough people are pissing you off so that you remember it....The best "anger" is the kind that is quickly forgotten... Gives you a moment to vent, but does not affect your day...
I thought the best anger occurred when you were driving a big truck.
That way if someone cuts you off you can knock their arse right offa da road.
It does occur often in the TRUCK, but I am suppose to be a responsible Little Trucker and not act on it!! I just got away with clobbering one a few weeks ago, so I best not try my luck again soooo soon!!
Damn responsibility. Gets in the way of all of the real fun stuff I want to do!
