Unhappy being a ridiculous understatement in this instance. Drive down to the dealership this morning, as agreed, to pick up my Volusia. Mind you, I gave them 3 working days to get it out of the crate and ready to go.
"Ah, it's not put together yet."
My response (as you can imagine), "Why the Hell not?"
"I'll buy you lunch."
"I don't want lunch, I want what I was promised. Since you obviously can't deliver that... how much time before it is done?"
"To do it right?"
My look, I'm sure, gave away that I would just as soon mow him down as answer that bewilderingly stupid question.
"About four hours."
"I'll be back at two. Make sure it's ready or we can tear up the deal."
Yes, this kind of thing annoys the Hell out of me. Almost as much as the mini-van moron who almost ran me off the road on the way back to the office.
Were I a pirate, my general feeling right now could be summed up in one expletive... "Arrrrgh!"
