Incoming Rant, ye be warned: Iâm a bit frustrated today.
My daughterâs car has been in the shop since the 7th of June for a minor fender bender.
It was supposed to have been ready last Friday, but they are waiting on one last part.
Then Monday, then Tuesday, etc. Here it is Friday, and they STILL donât have the part, despite the dealership saying they will or did already deliver it.
Today, I called at noon, they said theyâd call as soon as the part is delivered and assured me it would be today.
I know its not the shopâs fault that the part is not there, and I know that getting angry wonât make the part magically appear⌠But itâs getting ridiculous. The shop closes in less than 3 hours and they still havenât called.
I have a rental that I have been paying for and having to extend EVERY day since monday. Now itâs the weekendâŚ
UghâŚ
Also, to add to my frustration, my daughter has been using my new car because she wouldnât make it in time to pick up her car when (if ever) its ready. So Iâm driving the rental. To make matters worse, sheâs been abusing my generosity by NOT coming home and galavanting around town in MY car⌠F**king kids.
Happy Friday.

I hate to say it, but to be perfectly honest, this is the first time in years that the thought of drinking has crossed my mind. For some reason, this whole situation has really got my goat!!
Time to calm the eff down⌠deep breathesâŚ

Yes, deep breaths. Car stuff is a huge pain! Weâve been through some recently and it can feel powerless when youâre stuck in that hurry up and wait. Sorry that youâre going through this but it will pass. Maybe a talking to to the kiddo is in order? But not when youâre really in the upset feelings. Hang in there.

Damn the whole situation sucks. Im sorry man - deep breathes indeed.
I do hope they get their collective shit together and get you your car back soon.
Remember- this is just another thing out of our control and not worth losing your sobriety over
Rant away - i hope it helped!

Just imagine how much worse this situation would be if you were drunk. You wouldnât be able to half of the things you have already accomplished in this scenario.
I wish you a pillow to punch, a $50 bill to be found on the sidewalk and an easy talk with your daughter. AND a magic drone to drop that part at the shop.

Update: the shop called in the final moments of the day, the part arrived, the car is done and so I went and got it, and my daughter returned my car and all is right.
Now⌠bring on dessert!

In hind sight, itâs really a silly reason to get worked up, especially given the near infinite other things that could have happened this week. Itâs like someone out there is saying, hey dude, if having a delay in your car being fixed is the worst thing that happens to you, consider yourself lucky.
