^Easier said than done.
My Great American Road Trip wound up costing more than a damned flight.
"If it has tires or testicles, it's going to give you grief."
/facepalm
It was a joke, guys.Hence the facepalm. It was a self-facepalm.
I saw the saying on a crappy keychain years ago. I definitely don't hate men.
I just went over the invoice - again. There are TWO huge mistakes on the invoice. I called the shop and they said "oh, those are probably typos, because our system is heavily automated."
The 'typos' consisted of that they said the windshield was "OK" (it has a very visible 1/3-in smash from road debris on the driver's side - my insurance will cover it but how could they not notice?!) and in the Comments section, there was a note that said "noticable [sp] engine oil leak" when I specifically asked if there were any leaks in the engine, valves, or anything else. The mechanic told me that none existed.
Of note also is that their inspection warranty said they'd fix any windshield issues as part of the service I received. Was that a typographical error as well? It sure would be nice to not need to file an insurance claim for the road debris. I don't want my car to leak oil. Engines need lubrication to work effectively. I know that much.
We depend on our vehicles/trains/planes/bikes/bodies to get us safely from Point A to Point Whatever. It is important to maintain whatever mode of transportation we choose to take for the safety of ourselves and others. I paid good money to have my car in good working order. I'd have placed my car in the shop for a couple days rather than to have received excuses as to "typos".
I pay money; I expect professionalism. Gender/sex is not an issue to me. Excuses about typographical errors/computer errors do not discriminate, and neither do I.
I hope this clears up any misconceptions. The ultimate responsibility is with the individual to maintain his or her sh*t together, be it on or off the road.
