You Scratched It

Hubby just called me from the body shop. He’s in the office right now with the shop owner, and they were arguing over something we want fixed. When I was snapping photos night before last it might have been dark, but I noticed 2 huge scratches on the bumper. At first I thought it was just dirt, but when I went outside to inspect I proved myself right. Huge scratches! You may have to view the large version to see them clearly.

The owner was totally trying to bullshit hubby. He completely contradicted himself. At first he said there’s no way we left scratches on your bumper because we didn’t have to use the junkyard bumper. We were able to repair your old one, and then we painted it. We never even removed the old bumper from the car, so you must have scratched it. NICE TRY.

Remember those photos I shot while it was in the shop up on the lift?

I sure as hell don’t see a bumper.

As soon as hubby called me I not only txt him a copy of the photo, but I had him get the shop owner’s email addy, and I emailed him the high res copy.

Lie busted.

I told him dude you just don’t get it. I can bullshit with the best of them. You don’t know how many times I’ve bullshitted my way out of trouble.

You CAN’T bullshit a bullshitter!

Of course I asked if you didn’t use the junkyard bumper why does the paperwork say it does? He tried to give me more bs about how we didn’t have the amended copy of the paperwork. I said ok print out a copy and give it to my husband now. Oh, and while you’re out there taking the bumper off to repaint it go ahead and show my husband the inside of the bumper where you repaired it. Hubby didn’t give him a chance.

He crawled under the back of the Blazer to inspect for himself. No bondo, no beating, no nothing. There’s a perfectly intact bumper on there that has never had a dent in it. I don’t even understand why dude tried to bullshit us with that. You scratched it. You fixed it. Simple as that!

The bumper’s getting repainted this morning, the lift gate is getting adjusted, the roof paint is being touched up, and the bumper will be realigned in the right spots. As soon as that is finished the shop owner is going to take the Blazer to the detail shop himself, and it will be ready to pickup before they close at 4. Hubby had to miss about an hour of work this morning, and he’ll have to leave 2 hours early to get there in time to pick it up, but his boss is going to be nice. He’s not docking his pay for missing this time since hubby’s got 3 air compressors here he’s rebuilding for the boss.

Now that we’ve got that worked out this is starting to be a good day.
