Sofa Troubles
Let me tell you a short story which makes our life miserable these days. Because of our wild beast with claws (our cat), we had to have our leather sofas replaced with textile ones in case if any damage will be done.
Before the cat has moved over, the leather sofas were taken away, and when we got back to Madchester again, we found the replacement sofas in the living room. Well the replacement sofas were made of even softer leather than we had before, so we got managed to get the provider company change them again.
One week later, on Saturday a guy calls me in the afternoon:
" I am around at your place to change the sofas"
Answer: " I am in Wales right now, give me a call on Monday, and we can arrange a time, but Monday evening seems to be ok for me to change them"
Then we hung up.
On Monday, at around 11 am. the guy calls me again:
" I will be at your flat in about 30 minutes"
" What the ... ???? " I though we agreed to call each other in order to agree a proper time for the delivery
I said that evening was ok for me, when they found out, they can only deliver it until 6.pm.
Anyway, I got Mrs. Smith to be at home around 4:30pm.
They have arrived a bit late, then messed around the sofas, and it turned out they were not able to take them out of the flat. They did not understand, that if the sofas were brought in the same way about two weeks ago, it MUST go out the same way exactly.
So they tried many times, and after they damaged the soft leather sofa, they gave up, and told to Mrs. Smith, they will be back in one week, and of course they blamed the flat's owner, because he didn't secure a proper way to carry out the sofas.
Isn't it fcking ridiculous?
I am asking, what is gonna change in one week? Maybe the flat will be larger so they will be able to take out the bloody sofas or what?
It is a shame, when we get to the point, where I am not able to manage anything without stupid mistakes, and waiting unnecessarily weeks for a solution.
The shower problem still not solved BTW.
Great-Britain why is that GREAT?
I realised in this country everybody is blaming someone instead of admitting they fucked up something. Very frustrating to deal with anything over here, when you always face these attitudes, and always have to wait, and wait, and listen to several people's several advices about the same thing.
