Long time no see @1nonly . I was dropping off a couple of cars in St. Pete FL and it was one of those covered trailers with a fiberglass bubble on the back that had hydraulics to lift it. Took about ten minutes to pull the ramps, slide the curtains and unhook the straps and I was on the side of the sidestreet which was the ONLY place to park and unload the truck. We went often and knew that. I just watched a 10 wheel lift truck go by me but the stuck up snob Mercedes Benz C class lady driver asked me to move the Truck. I tried being nice and explained that a Truck just passed and her medium small car had a foot clearance on both sides. ( Not that I could have moved anyway. ). Imagine the most whiny voice you've ever heard saying " well it's such a bother " with a huff. Poor thing.SingingWolf Thanks this.

I'll share this once.
When working ADESA in little rock with the trouble truck when a customer in a suit calls for a problem fixit man for a sick merchedes or whatever top branded pile of .. well.. let's just be nice and say what I tell em sometimes.
"Im just a temp, these German Engineers should spend a day here sometime. Half the stuff you call for isnt my problem. It's built in on their end."
You should see the poor things purple up. And the bosses have to get out of the office and soothe their ruffled feathers. I don't have to help out with that trouble fixit calls too often thankfully. I seem to get people upset sometimes when I see the same product with the same flaws over and over again.
Im just not a people person. But some of those cars would have easily benefited from a little TLC and a dollar at the shop long before they finally ended up in my lap.SingingWolf and MagnumaMoose Thank this. -
Not a people person ? You ? ... No !

Drop a loaded trailer in the company drop yard, grab your next load and charge to the next customer. Then get a Qualcomm message asking where are the bills for my dropped trailer.
Hooking to the wrong trailer and not noticing until I get to the customer. -
