Aye, the Nerve!

Listen up kids. I am not going to pretend I am rich, or that I drive a fancy car. I am 24 years old and am not able to save any money. For that reason, I drive my boyfriend's old car, a 1990 Honda Accord. It is a stick, I don't have a heart attack if someone dings my door, and it gets about 35 MPG.

Last week, I walked out to my car and found a business card on the windshield for a tow truck company. It did not match the one my building uses, so I called the number to see if anyone was trying to have me towed. The woman I spoke with informed me that no one had called to try to have me towed. And that is when I noticed it. The business card also said "We buy Junk Cars!" I also noticed someone had written their name and phone number on the back of the card.

I asked the woman, still on the phone, "Who is Lacey Goldblum?" She replied, "Oh he is one of ours sales people!"

Me: "Did he seriously leave this card on my car because he thought it was a junker and I'd want to sell it to him? What kind of nerve does this guy have?!"
Lady: "Uh, I am not sure why he left it. I hope he didn't offend you."

Well guess what lady, he did offend me. Do I go around posting signs on unfortunate looking children "We Babysit Ugly Children"? No I don't. Sure the car isn't in the greatest of shape, but it gets great gas mileage and gets me from point A to B.

I know the economy is grim, but should that make it okay for people to ignore common courtesy? I called Lacey back and HE didn't answer. What a skirt.
