Marta had a bad day...

She stopped on the way to work to get doughnuts for her office. I talked to her over the phone as she walked out the bakery door.

A few moments later the phone rang. It was Marta. She was on the interstate. Her 09 Equinox had a problem. She was headed to the dealer. It was one of those engine light came on things. Later we learned it was a bad sensor.

So I drove to the dealership to pick her up. No big deal.

She left her company ID in the car back at the dealership. While signing in at the security desk at work she apparently dropped her drivers license. She thought somebody would call to say they found it. Not yet.

Other than going to our long time favorite restaurant since it is near her office, it was a bad day.

Several things were wrong with her SUV as we let little things pile up. Other than the $50 deductible on the extended warranty, it will be ready when the parts come in. I get to drive & pick her up tomorrow.

Perhaps dinner out Saturday night for Valentine's Day will make her feel better.

I dunno; perhaps the big guy doing some work around the house so that poor dear Marta doesn't have to do it, would help.

No way! No housework!

Haven't you heard? 

The Big Guy is dying. Let's have some sympathy over here

I'll bet he sits around watching "the teevee" all day.

While the dirty dishes pile up in the sink, the beds remain unchanged, the laundry undone, the floors unswept, cobwebs accumulate in the corners, dust collects on every surface, the upholstery on the couch wears out and rips.

It's just like when the big guy was employed; "it's Marta's job, for when she gets home from work."

6. I left a company cell phone at a car dealership one time. I knew it had to be there. No problem I

said, I'll just call it. No answer. We had done a blood drive there the day before and by the time I realized it was missing, I was out of town on another drive. I called the phone a few more times, getting worried that someone that didn't work there may have grabbed it, still no answer.

As soon as I got back I went to the dealership to ask if anyone had found the phone. Yup. A girl had it right there at the front desk. I told her I'd tried calling it several times and she gave me this weird look and said, "I wasn't going to answer that." As if she was freaked out that someone she didn't know was calling, like it was her phone and one of those "unavailable" numbers. WTF difference could that make?

I was really pissed off at her but didn't dare say anything. I suppose it was my fault but c'mon! She had me freaked out for a whole day that I'd lost a company phone and she's just letting it ring right there at her desk!. Sheesh! What if that was one of their customers that was close to buying a new car?

Why didn't the idiot call the dealership's number?

If all he has to do is sit and watch the teevee while she works, why doesn't she drive herself in the second car, thus saving the gas from the two round trips neckbeard makes taking her to work and picking her up?

I thought these liberals liked the environment.

The house might run out of food that the big guy likes, during the day, and we can't have that.

OBD II code reader:  Around $50, tells you what that "check engine" light is telling you.
Trip to NAPA for the part:  most sensors run between $25-100, and can be swapped in under 30 minutes.

Socialist Steve just wants his fellow primitives to know that they have two vehicles,eat at restaurants and he is retired.
Attention whores and infantile cretins all of them.

What an a-hole.  I don't blame her for not answering someone else's phone.  That is how reasonable people treat OTHER PEOPLE'S PROPERTY.

The important thing is she kept it safe in anticipation the owner would return.

Not that it matters to this ingrate.

9. She has no idea she is getting a present at dinner

She was telling me not to buy her flowers this year for her office. I pointed out the 14th is a Saturday, so no flowers. Last year we sent each other flowers to our offices.

She sent flowers to his office? What office? He was scooping shit and cleaning out barf in police cars.

I don't get it, flowers can't be bought or delivered on a Saturday in Bellevue?  I think he just wanted to kick his post.

10. I took Marta to work this morning

Coughing and sneezing. It's getting worse.

I was sick sick Sunday with different symptoms. I just want to feel better by Saturday for that dinner date.

What a trooper.

Oh please, do you expect us to believe that OS would be able to hop on a creeper and actually fit underneath the car that was up on ramps?  It would take a hydrolic lift just to get him up again.  :p

The Big Guy (who is dying) also wants the other DUmpmonkeys to know he paid the exorbitant premium for an extended manufacturer's warranty.

You would think that a godless democrat heathen staring into the cold, dark abyss of eternity would have other things on his mind.

Stingy bass turds. For every extended warranty they buy, they should be buying one for 10 homeless people.

Yep, the first thing I do is take my car to autozone and ask them to read it

Could this be the final decline?

Are any of the Dummies preparing tribute posts? Do they even care?

Doubt it.

The Big Guy (who is dying) is begging for sympathy but the Dump turns a deaf ear.

This pathetic thread got eleven replies, four of which were from the Big Guy (who is dying) himself.

Marta's bad day started when she woke up and noticed the Weeper was still breathing.

No, and you're quite right, but a LOT of the sensors on a vehicle are under the hood.  The only ones I know of under the car are the O2 sensors, and they won't effect how a car runs, only its fuel mileage.
