My Couch
I just spent two and a half weeks in San Antonio, TX. My mom and I went down there to get our trucks re-registered and inspected.
The registration, I found out after I got to TX, I did on the internet. I could have done it from Buffalo. And the inspection consisted of a man getting into my ford explorer sport, driving around the parking lot, slamming on the brakes, and seeing if the headlights worked. Both the trucks passed the inspections.
I ordered a new couch for my apartment. I waited for two months for it to be delivered. The delivery company started to call me right after I got to TX. They finally got a hold of me last week. They brought the couch from Rochester. One guy got out of the truck and came into my house. He put his arms up to "measure" the door, I had to go into my mom's apartment to get the chihuahuas out of there. And when I came back the guy said my couch wasn't going to fit through my doors. I spent over a thousand dollars on a custom couch, and they didn't even take it off of the truck. The guy tells me that they can deliver it to another address (?) or leave it on my porch. I tell them there is no where else that they can take it and there is no way they are going to leave my brand new custom couch on my porch. The guy said the only other thing they could do is send it back to California, where it was manufactured. I, being totally at a loss, allowed them to send it back. After which I called Angela and told her what happened. Then I called my mom. She told me to give her the number of the delivery company and the manufacturing company. Cal-mode the company that made my couch, got in touch with my mom, after they called the delivery company, and told her that they were going to try to deliver it again.
This kind of sounds like good news, but I got nervous. What am I going to do if they send the same guys that refused to deliver it in the first place? I am going to feel like an idiot for just accepting that it wouldn't fit. But on the other hand, I am going to be so angry if they can just get into my apartment with very little problems. This whole thing could have been resolved if they had just tried to get it into my house.
Oh and by the way, our Border Collie mix call work a door knob and let himself into the house but he can't let himself out.
