Those Wonderful People At U-Haul Customer Service
I hop out of the smelly U-Haul, and almost slip on my fat ass from sliding in the diesel fuel pouring out of the truck and onto the pavement below. It's a bit chilly, and I see the tiniest little flurries of snow in the air.
I make a phone call to U-Haul at the pay phone outside. Because I am an idiot, I am wearing some thin pants and an even thinner T-Shirt, and therefore am freezing my ass off. Floridians. Yes, I am, well... I WAS a Floridian the day earlier where it was oh say about 90 degrees, so don't give me too hard of a time. But I couldn't get to my warm clothes, as the latch to the back of the U-Haul broke and I was unable to open it to get to my luggage. Freaking POS...
Moving along, I spent a whopping total of roughly 45 minutes or so on the phone with U-Haul, as the first 2 times, they hung up on me. Talk about jazzy customer service. The 2nd time I was hung up on after "transferring my call" I lost it.
I can hear them now... "Look at us laugh at that irate woman in the middle of nowhere on some mountain screaming and cursing at us as she is standing diesel fuel. Ha ha, what a funny event to discuss tonight with my little pot smoking friends. Yes, siree, I wanna see how long I can fuck with this one, she is a live wire. HA HA HA double HA"
I was just so god damn angry and yet worried I was going to blow the hell up as everything within what seemed to be a mile radius including me and my daughter were covered in FLAMABLE diesel fuel, so off spews my mouth screaming so loud I am sure the truckers on the interstate above could hear me scream. "God damn it, it is snowing (well snowing to me, Florida, remember?) and I am standing in diesel fuel. if I fucking blow up or you so much as think about hanging up on me again my family will own U-Haul you cow pushing idiots." And like magic, I didn't get hung up on. What do ya know.
Some time later, as my toes are now frozen stiff, I was told it would be roughly 3 hours until they arrived with another truck. Freezing, and very jealous of my daughter's warm clothing, we headed inside the gas station. Location? Mount Airy, North Carolina. Town of Mayberry.
