big shit+tiny car=CALL A FUCKING CAB

[AKWalMartCartGuy]

ok, so tonight being halloween it got really slow at work right around the time i got there, so I had the parking lot almost cleared when Co-Worker(CW) got back from lunch. so we decided to go on a perimeter check(where we walk around the perimeter of the entire property to see if there are carts) and of course when we were behind the building we got called for a carry out. then we got back to where the TVs are in action alley, and for some reason they sold the people the display when we had 2 in stock(not supposed to do that, but the boss OKed it) and CW decides to be helpful and tell them that laying down a plasma TV can knock time off of it's lifetime(which is true, but make sure they aren't asshats before you help them next time, and yes I gave him shit about that) then they pull up in a Mazda 3, and we couldn't fit it in, so they had their friend pull up their Pontiac G5, and with some difficulty we took off the stand on the bottom of the tv and got it to slant into the car, the whole time she's talking about how she's pregnant, and screaming at(I'm assuming) her baby's father(I hope no one would marry that bitch) and us about how we're scratching the screen(sorry if I don't buy that your cloth seats are scratching the screen), and told him "if that screen is scratched your ass is gonna get scratched" when he wasn't paying attention and it dropped like 3 inches off of the seat.

for the sake of the poor customer service girls, I really hope we didn't break it, but damn I hope someone breaks into her house and steals it tonight


the moral of this story:BRING A FUCKING TRUCK WHEN YOU BUY BIG SHIT, around here there are several cab companies that have trucks/ ford expeditions

and for the workers:make sure they brought a truck before telling them their big shit is fragile

We get this all the time at the hardware store I am working at. Women buy these cypress porch swings or other outdoor furniture and expect us to fit them into the back of these tiny SUVs (or rarely a station wagon).

[AKWalMartCartGuy]

are they as bad as this

you:I'm sorry ma'am, I can't cram this porch swing behind the second row of seating in you jeep cherokee(in case you aren't familiar with the Jeep Cherokee it's got about 6 inches between the second seat and the tailgate)

I'd just *love* to know what people are thinking when they pull that crap. I so wanted to ask them "Are you fucking kidding me?" when they'd do that.

At least I can take comfort in knowing that a bookcase from IKEA will fit into the back of the Corolla with a little effort. Slide the front seat forward, drop both rears...and in it goes!

Please be forgiving of those that normally drive a larger vehicle/ SUV and have forgotten that they actually didn't drive that car that day.
I had an SUV and bought a lawn chair that I knew for fact would fit. I had forgotten that I actually was driving a rental car . . . my SUV was put in the shop the day before . . .and I was on mental overload trying to deal with a family health issue.
Luckily the employee that helped me out to the car was cool and able to get the chair into the car.

And this is why I'm an El Camino man. I don't care what it is, it'll fit in the back of the El Cam. If not? Tie downs . I've always hated people who don't plan ahead when they're shopping for something. When I used to make and install countertops, there were times that the sales people would sell setups that could not possibly fit in the space allowed, and promise it would be seamless, as well. Then you get the customer screaming at you because when they touch their nose to the seam, they can see it, or when they run their fingers across it, they can just barely tell it's there... People on commission can really suck, sometimes...

Ah, the good old overload idiots.

You'd think people would learn.

Maybe we just need to keep spreading THIS around until it's pretty much part of the public consciousness.

^-.-^

I have a suburban I don't have a problem fitting things in the back of my car, but I still keep tie downs in the back "jusst in case" you never know when you might buy something WAY over sized.

The rule in our house is: if it doesn't fit in my boyfriend's Saturn Vue, and my dad isn't coming up with his truck to bring it home, then we're not buying it. Simple as that. Why people don't have any concept of the size of their vehicle versus the size of the item they're buying is beyond me.

We have a 1978 Ford 150 pickup truck that can haul anything.

Yes, it looks like crap . . . but he'll get you from Point A to Point B and haul a ton of crap in the process.

Just bring a stepladder . . he sits a little high off the ground.

When we first moved up here, we had to buy all new furniture (we didn't want to haul our old stuff 1200 miles). Queen bed, twin bed, futon sofa, computer desk, TV stand, bookshelves. And we have two small cars. Solution? We rented a U-Haul and put all the furniture we bought into that! The store employees were very, very happy with us.

Like Grandma used to say, "Plan ahead! It wasn't raining when Noah built the ark!"

No, but he did have the only reliable weather report ever made.

I had fun when I moved...with my mother's Vue, my brother's Vue, and my neighbor's truck, we got everything shifted easily. Granted, it took multiple trips, but was *much* cheaper than renting a truck Nearly all the furniture went that way, including my model railroad layout. Everything else went in the back of my (now-gone) Mazda sedan. I wasn't about to let family members move, and possibly damage, my model collection

[Seshat]

If it won't fit in my car, and the shop offers delivery, I spend the dollars to have it delivered. I figure it's part of the cost of the purchase!
