Hey UHaul, USuck

[MertWindu]

OK, so, I'm moving next Sunday. For the second time in three weeks, mind you. So I'm already fired up about life. Last night, went to the UHaul site, and despite the fact that I'll be moving near Boston on Labor Day, apparently there is a 17-foot truck that isn't being filled up by some college student's gear. Awesome, reservation all set up, great price, they'll call me (this) morning to confirm.

1 p.m. today, I get the call, private number so I didn't pick up. Message left with my confirmation number. "Call us back by 5 to confirm" they say. OK.

4:30, finally have a minute to make the call.

"ThankyouforcallingUhauljklasdglkjkaghold?"

Um, what? No, I don't need to be towed, I'm calling to confirm a reservation.

"OK sir, can you hold please?"

Oh, sure.

4:35

"(silence)"

Um, ****.

4:40: time for the budget meeting at work, gotta get off the line.

4:50: OK, let's give this another try.

"ThankyouforcallingUhaulwillyoupleasehold?"

Sure, buddy.

5:46. FIVE, ****ING, GET THE **** OUT OF HERE, FORTY-SIX, I've been on hold for 56 ******* minutes, "Sir, can we call you back?"

Uh, what? Yeah, fine.

"OK, we'll call you right back.

5:50: "Hi sir, this is Jasdgaskjlg from UHaul, how can I help you?"

"I need to confirm my reservation."

5:50:27: OK, thank you sir, you're all set for next Sunday.

I don't even know who to be angry at, because when the dude called me back, I could hear kids screaming in the background. I think he might have gone home to call me. Um, what?

If that truck isn't ready at 9 a.m. Sunday morning, well, everyone here gets to say they know someone in the big house for murder.

Unbe****inglievable.

Do you need a pedicure?

So, let's see, you don't answer their call but it's their fault that they're busy when you call back?

Boo-****ing-hoo!

Knew that was coming when I'd seen you had posted. Hey, guess who's getting money out of this transaction? Oh, that's right, them.

Bedtime yet?

Better hope someone turns their truck in on time too. When a buddy of mine was moving, the person who had the truck before him didn't. Dude was a couple of hours late actually. And my friend had to sit there and wait.

 

[spnited]

You didn't have 5 minutes between 1 p.m. and 4:30 to call back?
When they said call by 5, why didn't you just wait til 4:59...
douchebag.

 

[wickedwritah]

Mert, need a hand?

To be honest, I'm surprised you found anything this late in the game. Given the Sept. 1 ridiculousness in Boston with every NU/BU/Harvard/BC/Emerson/Suffolk punk moving back on campus, I was sure almost everything was gone.

Wow, go **** yourself, prick. God, sorry to have entered your personal airspace and ****ed with your universe. Cranky mother****er. I wanted to call earlier, but I had to get a birthday gift for my goddaughter, I had to get ready for work, and I had to drive the 30-35 minutes to the office. Then, when there, I had to set some **** up at work. I didn't expect that what turned out to be a 20 second process would require an hour of my time. The math makes sense to me, and I'm sure it makes sense to other people who aren't so sorely in need of a blowjob, but then again, you have your MO on here, and I'm not about to tell you you shouldn't. But thanks for chiming in, tough guy.

I don't know...I usually call while driving, or walking through a store.

Just saying.

 

[spnited]

Poor baby got put on hold.
**** you, you whiny little ****.

Can't wait to hear you cry next week when you spend two hours standing in line when you return the truck.

I wanted to be able to write things down if necessary, otherwise I would have too.

Nah, mert was too busy for them .. but they're supposed to be waiting for his call with bated breath.

Whatever man, thought it'd be worthwhile to see your posts again, but I guess not. Keep being a bitter piece of ****, it suits you.

 

[Chi City 81]

Wow. Stay classy, spnited.

 

[zeke12]

Well, this took an interesting turn...

 

[spnited]

I'm not bitter at all.
But how many whiny "poor me" threads do we need around here?

Sometimes life is a pain in the ass. Grow the **** up and deal with it.

Hey, Doc.. this is the "offenisve" post that set mert off on his snarky little "bedtime yet" bull****.

**** HIM AND YOU!

 

[imjustagirl2]

I agree with spnited.

You had the choice to answer the call. You didn't. But you had time to check your voicemail, but not the time to call them back? You already had the confirmation number. All you had to do was call back and give that number.

Waiting 3 1/2 hours, when assumedly they would be closing at 5 and you had no idea how busy they'd be, seems really risky to me. And guess what? Customer service blows now. No one's hiring. You're going to be dealing with one overworked person. They can't drop everything for you.

A 56-minute hold or whatever? OK, excessive. But to go on a rant like that, when it could have been avoided any one of 20 different ways, seems a bit off-kilter.

Just my $.02. And Mert, you know I love you.

 

[zeke12]

Come on people now, smile on your brother, everybody get together, and love one another...

Right now.

Yo, Zeke, how 'bout them Twins! ;D
