” Why do you let it bother you so much ? ” asked the Wife ….” Relax ”
Now when the wife starts with the ” Relax , Relax ” horseshit you may be rest assured it is because I have every right to be unlaxed if ever such a word exists . The answer to why I let it bother me is because of the frequency , the consistency, the fact that it has to be every ” effing ” time . Thats why …
Wife wanted one of those vinyl storage benches to put out on the lanai to hide a few things away and even for added seating in a pinch. She chose one fair in appearance and cost and we ordered it with an expected ten day shipping time and it just arrived in four . Naturally it’s one of those items that needs to be put together so I immediately dragged the large shipping box out to the lanai and started work.
It’s about a twenty five minute project and I was starting to marvel at how smoothly this entire transaction had gone. Until , and you knew I wouldn’t be here writing with out the until . I removed the back rest from the box and was just about to finish the project and there it was , that broken piece that caused me to unlax . As the missing chunk wasn’t anywhere to be found in the box it was evident it was packed that way which only elevated my feelings of unlax to a higher degree causing the neighbors dog to stop looking at me through the fence and go back in the house .
The toll free Customer Service number was a bust but a plan B was offered in an online type it out chat with my customer service rep Sara which actually went surprisingly smooth if not slow. A new bench is now being shipped with no request for the old one . At the end of it all I was asked to rate Sara’s performance . Sara in El Salvador was her official title.
Perhaps her job is providing her enough money to stay in El Salvador , I hope so . Then she’ll have no need to come here and work in a factory packing broken parts into a box.
