The day I took my vehicle in to the shop to begin its lengthy and expensive repair process, Daisy sent me this email about her own car experience she had that very morning.
Daisy: My brakes are making a bad grinding noise in either the front driver or passenger side. Sounds like metal to metal grinding in the front.
Mechanic: We checked your brakes and they look good.
Daisy: What? How is that possible? I know the sound of metal grinding on metal.
Mechanic: Miss Daisy, your brakes are still good.
Daisy: Put new brakes on my car.
4 hours later
Mechanic: Miss Daisy, we put new back brakes on your car and your car is ready.
Daisy: Back brakes? What about front brakes? Do you remember me telling you this morning my front brakes were grinding?
Mechanic: Well, I was wondering about that. I took it for a test drive and when I pulled up there was a horrible grinding noise in the front brakes. We inspected them and there was no brake pad left, just metal rubbing metal.
Daisy: Uh huh, right. We discussed that this morning. Why did you tell me my brakes were fine and then put new back brakes on?
Mechanic: I can’t believe I made a mistake like this. Did you know your front brakes were bad?
Daisy: Hello, do you suffer from Alzheimer’s? We talked about my front brakes this morning.
Mechanic: Do you want me to put new brakes on the front? It’s metal to metal. I will find every coupon I can and give you as many discounts that I’m allowed to give.
God bless America. Jimmie, if you had a TV you might see me on the news this evening. Did I have dollar bills shooting out of my butt when I dropped my car off? WTH is wrong with these people?
Hahahahahaaaaa, I love her.
Love, Jimmie
