I HOPE you're right. I posted this on another thread, it has nothing to do with NOT liking my SSR, I just had a bad experience, and everytime I look at the SSR it reminds me of it! :mad
I’ve had a bad past couple of weeks.
On Saturday, January 29th, a co worker offered to come over after work, and fix a virus on my home PC. We arrived at my condo around 6:30PM. I parked in my assigned covered space, and he parked in the empty one on my right.
After fixing the PC, we had a few drinks, watched TV, and he went home at 10:30 PM.
The next day I went down to my truck at about 12:30PM to go to the grocery store. I thought, hmmmm, Robert had a few last night, I’d better check the right side to see if he put a door ding in it. Everything was fine, and as I walked back around behind it, I happened to glance down at the bumper. I swear I heard the music from Psycho!!!
Someone had backed into my bumper!
I looked at the cars that park across from me and sure enough, there was a dark gray Jetta that was purchased at our dealership, with yellow paint on it. I left them a note with my home # on it, asking them to call me.
Later that afternoon the husband called, and I met him in the parking lot. He asked me if I worked at XYZ dealership? I told him yes, and asked him how he knew? He said his brother in law worked here in another building, and told me his name. We exchanged insurance info and left it at that.
The next morning when I was leaving for work, there was a NASTY letter on my windshield from them accusing me of backing into their car, along with a mind boggling bunch of other B.S. on it. They threatened SEVERAL times that if I called their insurance company they were going to take legal action!
I spoke with a friend of mine, and he said since it happened in a parking lot, and there were no witness’s, that more than likely I’d just have to let my insurance pay for my car, and their insurance pay for their car. That seemed like the general jist of their letter, once you got past all the nastiness, so I wanted to call them and be sure that’s what they wanted.
There were no #’s on the letter to call them, so I called her brother, and he didn’t know where his brother in law worked, (said he changes jobs all the time), but he told me the name of the title company where his sister worked. It was the name of the same title that did the paper work on my condo last year, and it’s right across the street, so I tried that location first.
Sure enough that was where she worked, and when she came to the phone she immediately began screaming, over, and over, “HOW DID YOU GET THIS NUMBER!? HOW DID YOU GET THIS NUMBER!? HOW DID YOU GET THIS NUMBER!?
I didn’t want to get her brother in trouble so I didn’t say. I was just trying to get this crazy broad to shut her mouth long enough to tell me that the letter meant what I thought it meant. She finally said yes, and I thought that was the end of it.
Later in the day, my boss said, “Man, who is this crazy *%#@, that keeps calling and screaming, she wants to talk to the owner, and she’s going to sue?”
Turns out she was trying to say I’d looked her work number in our computer at work, and that was a violation of the privacy act. She even got her brother to say I’d talked to him an hour and a half, AFTER I’d called her! (How does THAT make sense?)
I got called up to the owner’s son’s office and screamed, cussed, and yelled at. (All this while the Christian music is being piped over the PA system.) I felt I was very close to being fired, after 5 ½ years, and making the company MILLIONS of dollars, over a crazy *%#@ who bought ONE $15,000.00 car here, at BELOW invoice.
ALL THIS because someone backed into MY car!
