Safelite

So as it turns out calling safelite to fix what they broke last time will inevitably lead to more problems. Called safelite to come out and fix my lock problem (see blog below). They came out and found "NOTHING WRONG MA'M". So the elderly toothless repair man made sure my locks worked okay and left. Giving me a thumbs up and a toothless grin as I started my car.

I drove Tom and I to lunch at Zippy's and when I went to open the door it opened and there were no more lock problems. Thank the lord there are no more lock problems. Then I woke up from my dream.... no the door would not open. I tried again thinking I had temporarily lost my noggin. Nope didn't work.

Called Safelite again and spoke to Kevin again who is now very familiar with my problem. He connected me with the toothless repair man who proceeded to tell me that I had electrical problems and that he was halfway to Chicago and he couldn't help me. Well thanks Mr. Toothless man!!!! You were a big help!!

I hung up on him and called Kevin back who seemed like he didn't want to hear that my problems were not solved. He then placed me on hold and came back to tell me I would be contacted within 30 minutes from another dispatcher. SURPRISE!!! Safelite never called back. I called again around 4:45pm, poor Kevin was dismayed to be hearing a very angry me again.

He asked me... "So I guess you probably want this fixed as soon as possible?" "Yes I said right now, I leave at 6PM" Kevin sighed "I was afraid of that but I can't send anyone out right now, you could try bringing it to a dealer, we would be happy to pay for all damage done to your door." "Kevin, Kevin, Kevin..... what dealer is going to be open this late." "Right...." Kevin said "I see your point." We ended up setting up an appointment for me to bring my car out tomorrow. I have an open appointment to bring it in "whenever I want".

Lock Down

So today we had a little car trouble, and it was all we thought it could be. As usual one of us bothered the other until we both finally clocked out. While happily skipping to our daily one hour escape from office hell I tried clicking on my fob to unlock my car. The locks did not move!!!! DAMN YOU CAR LOCKS FROM HELL!!!! I tried my key, no luck. We tried screaming at the car to which it stick up it's middle tire at us and laughed hysterically.

Finally we discovered that we could open the trunk and push down the middle console. Thomas proceeded to climb into the trunk... yes IN THE TRUNK. He tried reaching in to see if he could reach a lock, or reach the lock device the pushes the back seat in. NO GOOD. While lying in the trunk of my car with everyone walking by and gawking at us he found a lever and pulled it. Nothing happened. "IT'S THE GHOST OF KEVIN WARNER" I thought... he doesn't want us to go to lunch to escape the lune's we work with. I turned back to look at our office building and the door turned into a big mouth sucking is back into work, wind and leaves and papers were swirling around being sucked into the black hole. " NO WE MUST ESCAPE "

Finally we pushed on the back seat and it folded down!!! Ya freedom at last! Thomas crawled into my car and popped the back door lock open!!! YAHHH WE ARE FREEEEE. We unlocked the passenger door as the driver door still had glass lodged into it from when I had my car broken into. I sat in the drivers seat and punched the inside of my car door hoping to dislodge whatever was holding the lock hostage. After blooding my fist the glass dislodged and I was able to open my car door. We quickly peeled out of the parking lot speeding away to escape the abyss of our office that was sucking us back. ON TO IHOP for tasty treats!!! What a wonderful lunch hour it was.
