Belle Abuse

Hey y'all


Mah beautiful Belle has been abused!


Belle is my Infiniti FX35 and she was TOWED yesterday from a parking lot where I am a monthly parker and PAY and have a FUCKING PERMIT ON MY DASH!


I'm still so pissed off that I can feel the muscles tightening around my skull as I type this some 11 hours later. Can you tell ;-)


I sauntered out of my building last night just before 7 PM looking forward to the best part of my day. I was carrying files to work on and my big beautiful 'Scarlett O Hara" derby hat(details to follow in another post). It's catching the breeze so I'm distracted walking toward my lot--the lot I've paid to park in for about 7 YEARS.


And there's no Belle.

I stand there for a second thinking the unthinkable---someone had stolen her in broad daylight----then my eyes stray to the sign. "Lot patrolled by Vulture Towing Company" Fucking hell bastards!


I KNEW this would happen when the company that owns this lot signed on with this slimey outfit. They exploit all sorts of angles to get fees and are not at all above just taking a car and letting folks sort it out later.


So I call and I must admit I was incredibly rude to the poor woman working the desk. It had been a long day and I lost my estimated tax forms and spent a chunk of the afternoon looking and then coming up with a substitute. Then I misplaced the checkbook I was writing that check out of. If I had missed the postman and was needing to drive to get the tax payment in the mail I swear my head would literally have exploded. I apologized profusely to her.

And as I set my files down once back in my building I got the papercut from hell--manila folders are the worst.

Luckily I got a ride to the tow lot and found her.



They tagged her with a number like a common criminal;-(





She's scuffed in a few places--I took pics but I need to deal with these asshats so not posting them. As I was checking out ---$114.08 on Visa so I can dispute the motherfucker---I could hear the drivers on the radio talking about places they were going to 'hit' because the 'permits were still messed up' so they could 'get all they needed'. Blood still boiling --yup.


So when I finally got to my house it was about 8:30 PM. I needed serious stress relief so with the help of some Stoli on the rocks I took the leftovers and fashioned some supper, finally eating at almost 9:30.

Today I'll take it up with the owners of the lot because all the booger eaters could tell me was that it was called in as a 'removal from private property'--at 2:30 in the fucking afternoon. And silly me -I thought that paying for my spot and displaying their stupid tag which I had to pay a deposit for was supposed to prevent that.

There are a couple of cardinal sins that just send me over the edge----one is writing me a bad check--yes people are stupid enough to write their own attorney a bad check (it's only happened a few times and only one person had to go to jail) and the other is fucking with my car.

Somebody's gonna have a bad day.

Smooches and some greasy gropes babies.

I envy you. Raising hell with assholes like that can be quite enjoyable. Have fun with it. Cheers!!

Robin said...

Oh I would be livid, glad you got her back and can give her a big hug now.

shiny said...

Well, that seals the deal for me: If ever I need a lawyer, I'm hiring you.* I sure as hell would like you on my side than on the other guy's side...

* Pending affordability.

Turnbaby said...

matty: It's a busman's holiday for me--I'd rather not have to but I will.

Robin: Thanks sugar---I need to get her washed again ;-)


Shiny: You know I am a trained mediator and I really like that much better but when I need to be I am hell on wheels.

Angry African said...

I told you not to fuck with me. I know people...

And sorry about the bad check. I had to get my car out the lot.

Travis said...

Bastards!

Evidently they have no idea who they have messed with.

DutchBitch said...

OMG! I can't wait to find out WTF it was that made them tow it (and then learn how you fucked them over because of it! need my boots?)

Mr. Fabulous said...

Killkillkillkillkillkillkillkill....

Avitable said...

Oooooh, they picked the wrong bitch to tow! Can't wait to see what happens!

Coal Miner's Granddaughter said...

OMFG! I would have gone friggin' ape shit! I'm all about getting up in people's faces so if you don't get anywhere, give me the number! I need some action! :-)

Turnbaby said...

AA: LOLOL

Trav: They are going to find out--you should have seen the looks on the faces of the girls at the dispatch desk when i walked back from my car with the damn permit and showed it to them.

Dutchy: Sure as long as you come in them--then we'll jump in Belle and head up to NC;-)

Turnbaby said...

Fabby: Yes --don't make me cry*sniffling*


Avitable: They did.


CMG: I need to whip out the guns every now and then. it's "letterhead" time.

Bond said...

TURNBABY....I think I just heard a shout and an explosion from up north...was that you at the parking lot? Please tell me the gun did not come out of the glove compartment...

So sorry dear one.

Dr. Cissa Fireheart said...

Wait, you're a LAWYER??

SUE THOSE FUCKERS!!

That's what I would do. Or at least DEMAND the lot owners pay YOUR $114.08 BILL, because THEY fucked up!!!

Wow, I'm mad about it too. I hate slimy people.

Mimi Lenox said...

"They tagged her with a number like a common criminal" made me laugh out loud.
I hope today was better though!

Turnbaby said...

Bond: Why would I let them off easy with a quick release from the pain;-)


Cissa: LOLOL It probably won't have to some to that


Mimi: Good! And it was by a long mile;-)

TopChamp said...

Turnbaby said...

Oh sugar you so need to come east and meet hello;-)

Ginormous Boobs said...

That's bullshit. But I can provide some greasey gropes that might brighten up your day.

Kelley said...

Want me to add them to my arsehat wearing bastards.

I am making a list you know. So I can go on an arse kicking tour. Hope to be sponsored by Jimmy Choo.

Anndi said...

I pity the fool... actually, I don't pity the bastards at all.. hehehe

Go get'em.. *sits and munches popcorn*

Winter said...

I would be shaking in my shoes with anger. I so hate stuff like that. And I don't love my car. Well, not like I loved my Acura anyway. The definitely have it coming to them for fucking with your baby and you!

Desert Songbird said...

I can't believe anyone would be stupid enough to piss off a lawyer, but a southern woman lawyer? Pure suicide.

Meribah said...

Oh man, I wouldn't want to be in their shoes. They don't know it, but they've messed with the wrong Turnbaby. Go git 'em! :D

Lee said...

You're the attorney here, but isn't what they are doing pretty close to fraud? Especially what you heard coming over the radio. If they are taking advantage of messed up permits and victimizing people there has to be something illegal about their activities. Rip 'em a new one for me. Just one more injustice for me to get torqued up about.

amynoroom said...

This sort of situation makes my blood boil!!!

Turnbaby said...

GB: Purrrrrr

Kelley: Oooooo Jimmy Choo YUM


Anndi: As soon as I get back in Lex they are toast.

Winter: I was LIVID. I called Fabby and he knew something was wrong from the second he answered.

Songbird: Stoooopid i too nice a name for it.


Meribah: Attack puppy attack!!


Lee: it sorta does;-)

Amy: YUP!!
