Carryout Woes (Long, sorry)

[draftermatt]

Even if it was an older Impala, I don't think I could fit a 27-inch TV in the trunk, much less a 52-inch one.

Older as in early 90's Souped up Caprice, or 50's-60's moonshine running cars. http://www.floridakeys-rentals.com/c...mpala_keys.jpg

A guy I knew had one of those and he claimed it could hold 7 people in the trunk.

Well, if it breaks down, at least you can pick it up and carry it home

Isn't there a thread elsewhere in which we discussed Geos?

The 1960 model could, I should know, I was one of them. Man, that was a nice car. Had one of those bubble-shaped panoramic windshields, that was the last year they made them like that.

I had this gem;

This lady buys a whole patio set and wants it taken to her car. I see how small her car is and says "are you sure it will fit in there?" she says it would fit with no problem. We both try several ways to fit it in her car so it would not be a safety hazard when she is driving.... no go. I try and tell her it may not fit but she's not having any of that. she says it would fit perfectly. well after about 15 minutes she says "Well I'll be damned...it didn't fit." (no shit lady, what was your first clue?) so she had to wait for her hubby to get off work so he could bring the truck down and load it up.

I never worked as a loader, but I'll never forget when my Dad and I went to pick up a couch.
The guy helping us load walks out and says "Thank God, you have a truck"

Well, I certainly feel stupid.

Yesterday I went out and bought a new TV (I'm moving out and my current TV is 7 years old). Nothing big, just a 20-inch flat screen from the local Target. For sure I thought it could fit in my 2004 Dodge Neon. I would have bet money on it fitting.

It didn't fit, had to take it out of the box. The whole time I was doing this, all I could think of was how many times I silently cursed out customers who did this to me. Man, I screwed up my own carryout

I did that myself a few years ago.

We were having our bathroom refinished with a new tub and shower. I went to get the shower wall kit in my minivan. Should fit, I have all the back seats out...

I bought the kit, they took it to the van...and the rear hatch opening was too small to fit it inside.

I had to go home and borrow my wife's stepdad's truck to pick it up.

I did that with a grill once. I knew my old Saturn wasn't that big, but the box the grill was in didn't look all that big either. But you know things always look smaller when they're in the store.

I got it out, and it wouldn't fit in the trunk, and I couldn't get it into the back seat either. So I had to take everything out of the box, throw it randomly into the trunk and back seat, and flatten the box. At least I managed to get it home.
