What should I do with this situation ???

[KingRay]

My son made an appointment for a windshield replacement today at 2pm. They said it shouldnt take more than 2hrs but we will call you when its done. They closed at 5 or 5:30 and left. NEv er called him or any thing. by the time he thought they should have called by now they closed up and no one answers any phones they have listed.

I want to take a ball bat there in the morning but not sure what the rest of the world would realistically do in this situation.

He had to call into work this evening and miss a 4hr shift and now has to find a way to get to the shop in the morning. I can really go pick him up but they dont have to know that.

Anyway, what is the normal thing to do here


I dug up some owners name to call the little ******* at home and no luck.

Im really pissed and probably should cool off before I do anything i guess. lol

If you are pissed as in liquor, go take a cold shower.

If you are pissed as in affronted, go take a cold shower. Stay there until extremities freeze.

Now here's an angle you have not considered....

Let Junior deal with this himself. He's an adult. He sure as heck does not need his over-zealous Pa being a horse's ****.

Retreat, reapraise. Take no action until heads are cooler. This has all the nuances of a brawl. Avoid that

you for real bro?

you remind me of the buyers who moan the next day after buying a item at 4.30pm the day before and its not been delivered yet.

'I dug up some owners name to call the little ******* at home and no luck'

WTF???????

[slapped]

Dude,,the ONLY thing to do is to go there in the morning (Sans, Louisville Slugger Please)
Make as BiG a VERBAL Stink as you wish,,and Maybe get a Discount on the work,,anything more than that is putting yourself in Harms way,,,,Believe it or not the Law does Not Like Angry People and Baseball bats in confined spaces

Dont forget the OP's wife is an attorney.

I hope by now she's swung the baseball bat over HIS skull.

KingRay you are better than the approach you had discussed taking...I know it...you know it =)

[oge]

kill him with kindness...........

[jamblix]

If it happened to me I'd go in there ask for the owner or manager, tell them what happened and ask how I'm going to be compensated. If they give me something worth my trouble I'd be cool as a cucumber, if they give me nothing then I'd have some words. And I agree you should probably just let your son handle it on his own. I know if this happened to me and I told my dad the last thing I'd want is for him to go haywire.

You seem as protective of your son as I am of my daughter (but then she is classed as a vulnerable person for various reasons).

Your wife is an attorney! Scare them!

[KingRay]

Yeah yeah, lol..

I posted replies to this twice now and they get deleted. Not sure what I am doing but He wanted to take care of it himself. Probably the best thing anyway.

I am the immature one I guess out of him my wife and daughter. To me "punch first and ask after they wake up". is my philosophy but I know thats not the right way. I have always been a fighter in one way or another and it just the way my brain things i guess. lol

I got my wife and now GB keeping me in line. What ever works

Her comment to this mess was practical things like "maybe they have the phone # down wrong" things like that.

I was at the location looking in the windows out back in their shop bays hoping to find a late working employee to beat on. lol.. Not really but.. you know.
