Disappointment Of The Day
Gutted to realise that the throbbing in my pocket this morning was caused by my vibrating Fitbit alarm.
Care to share a disappointment with us?

Re: Disappointment Of The Day
Gutted that it's raining this morning.
This means that instead of working in the garden, I will have to spend time in the garage working on a steam engine.

Waking up & realising it's a work day - this could be a recurring post!

Re: Disappointment Of The Day
I'm disappointed that our local MP had nothing better to do yesterday than to pass on his "concerns" about a patient who complained to him that she had to wait 3 weeks to see a GP of her choice- when we always have on the day appointments available for those who need it, AND the GP was actually on holidays for 2 of the 3 weeks she waited.

Re: Disappointment Of The Day
Gutted that DPD failed to deliver my all blue C60 trident 300 today. I have to wait until tomorrow now, I was looking forward to it as well.
Re: Disappointment Of The Day
Just received an invoice for €360 from Hertz, for the 'damage' to a rental car...
It's a pea-sized dent caused (probably) by a flying stone.
Now that's disappointing.

Re: Disappointment Of The Day
^^^^^ Call out a car detailist like ( Chipsaway ) or ( Dent Devil ) and they will get rid of that for under £50 or so.
Car lease company,s are Pee takers, and it was probably missed on the first inspection.

Re: Disappointment Of The Day
That 'damage' charge seems a little steep.

Re: Disappointment Of The Day
I've sent them a hissy-fit email. If they don't remove the charge I'm gonna squeem and squeem till i'm sick.
Or I could use the damage excess insurance.
Honestly, the 'disappointing' aspect of this is the blatant profiteering of these guys. As Footy says, this is a £50 repair at most - and if it's £50 at retail, you can bet that Hertz are paying significantly less.
Mind you, if you return a rental car with an empty fuel tank, the charge is.... a mere €226. ****.

Re: Disappointment Of The Day
I can understand, most of the times they let it go around here (I once scratched the front while parking), but I still take full insurance when renting a car (essentially doubles the base rental cost) just because I don't know how they will behave.downer wrote:Just received an invoice for €360 from Hertz, for the 'damage' to a rental car...
