So I'm at the car wash...
So I'm at the car wash and as I watch the cars come through, this pickup truck from Terminix is coming out. The blowers start and they hit the bed, schit starts flying out of the bed. Soda cans, trash, green jump suits, etc. The operator comes out and asks what's going on to a guy that dries the cars. The drier guy says the blowers blew the stuff out. Terminix guy says things better be alright!
WTF. You just took your car through a car wash with a boatload of crap in your truck bed, it flies everywhere and you're *****in it better be alright? What a maroon.

Isn't the car wash supposed to check for that stuff? There's usually a guy with the power washer on the way in.

I saw the first guy take off the antennae, but that's it. It's a work truck. Douchebag Terminix guy should have thought about all that when he drove around me to get his free wash or whatever deal they have going on.
I cleaned out my truck and put things away so they wouldn't mess with things I didn't want messing with. Last edited by A930Rocket; 02-02-2011 at 08:43 AM.. |

I too worked at a car wash when I was a teenager, those old 70's machines ripped off antennas, mirrors, front license plates and whatever loose trim they could find. It was entertaining to watch management deal with the PO'd customers.

Hi
|
What is with these Terminex guys?! Just yesterday on the way home, some Terminex guy is tailgating me... I guess 75 mph wasn't fast enough for him....so I slow it down to 70 as long as he's tailgating...he goes around me, flipping me off....LOL...on the bumper was, "How is my driving, call 800-xxx-xxxx...if...." I should have called but i didn't.
Opps, did i just hi-jack a thread...sorry.
