A well known man in town was moved. Sent him the bill...and he did not pay it. I called...he told me he would be right over to pay it, boys did a great job. No problems. Acted all nice.
Never showed up. Then he would not answer his freaking phone.
People warn me to walk softly as he is a powerful player in this town.
Screw that- I took his ass to court. If you can't afford a bill then don't make it is my way of thinking. And trust me- he can afford it.
Sheriff office would not serve him his papers. TWO times I went to court (over three months) and still not served. And the judge could not do anything till then. Let's put it off another month or so....
I talked to the Sheriff myself- told him if he could not get it served I knew a ex FBI agent who will. He is a officer of the law still...and the $50.00 looks good to him for ten minutes of work.
Gave him the guy's work number, asked if they needed me to draw them a map to the biggest company in town. And told them when he will be at city hall....did they know where city hall was? Its right outside their fucking door.
Yes- I went off on him. Screw it- do your damn job.
It got served a day later.
Few days before the court day and he showed up to pay it. Blah blah blah... what ever...just pay the freaking bill, would you?
Soo... this morning I find out the check was cold.
Why am I NOT freaking suprised by that?
*Rat growls*
Man is starting to effect my calm.
Gas stations... and attendants.

"Pouring the rain this morning and I go to the Shell gas station that I know you can use your credit card at the pump. Pulling in, I swipe my card, and start to open my tank. Turning to look at the pump, I see the flashing of “See attendant.” So… I click the pump off and on, hoping they would just turn the pump on. But NOOOO….
Walking out in the rain I go inside and told the guy “Gosh. I stop at a gas station that I can pay at the pump so I would NOT get soaked.” He gives me a bored look and said the card did not read. I hand it to him and tell him I am filling up. “How much do you plan to get?” O.o
Now- what the hell does the words “fill up” mean to you? I bite back a growl and tell the dude I have no idea. He told me to come back when I am done. I did, pulling right up to the door and parked in the NO PARKING zone. Little prick.
Now I know drive offs happen, and at the cost of gas, more often in todays time. But I miss the days when you could pull up, fill your tank and walk in and pay.
*sigh*
Trucker..... sorry- dumb ass trucker.

"Truckers who bring in items that is damaged and start the whole "No its not... just let it go."
Military shipment came in crates from Korea. The driver sees me writting up the hole in side of the crate.
"Nothing is hurt. Its just a hole." "Sure.... but its a folklift hole. How far did it go in? Did it hit a piece of furniture? Maybe put a hole into a dresser or couch? Its a hole. Its going to be put down on your bill of lading."
"You can open it and check it out. I don't want anything wrote on the bill... I never put it there, and its going to come back on me."
Now- I know he is just the driver from point A to B. I understand it will fall back to him. I see his problem. But come on...
I turn to him and tell him "Understand this- it is against the law for me to open this crate. See? Scurity seals. Maybe you should check the items you haul for damage BEFORE you leave? If you had... and noted this hole, you would not be having this problem now."
If looks could kill......
But hell- pass the buck at another place, snail poop. I do my job.
