I had a one hour in-town meeting today at 10 am, and an out of town meeting at 2 pm. It’s a 3 hour drive to my second meeting, one way. I arrived at the car rental place at 9am.
This is what happened to me today:
Except:
Add in an offer for a compact car: 
Not safe, I don’t care what you say.
And an offer for a minivan:
Agreed to after I negotiated a reduced price for the gas that this Beast would consume. I sat in the car to drive away and realized:
The seat height is not adjustable and my feet don’t touch the pedals. I’m 5’6”. This should not be an issue!
Back inside I go, where I have to spend another 15 minutes telling them I’m going to walk out without renting a car; I finally conceded when they arranged for me to pick up a car at another location, after my first meeting, on my way to the second meeting. They promised me it would take no more than 2 minutes, and I would have a full tank of gas so that I can just ‘get in and go’.
Meeting #1 completed, off to pick up the 2nd rental car and give back the Beast.
So, I just got home and I called my good friend HILL to come over and serve chill.
Happy Thursday.
Ciao for now,

Oh my. Hilarious retelling and great visual aids. :D The feet picture cracked me up. :) I used to work at a rental car place and we NEVER tried to get people to pay for more than what they reserved. That's just wrong.
