I did everything to make buying a car fast, easy, painless, but AAAAAARGH!
Financing arranged before I went in. No haggling on the price, I'll just buy it.
4 events of "Let me go talk to my manager" later, and I'm DONE. Melt down in the manager's office, and they'll either sell me the car NOW or I'm leaving. I fucking hate this.
They've stopped now, and they're looking at me like I'm possibly feral, and not quite trustworthy.
@ScottSoCal@computerfairi.es I'm so sorry you're having to deal with this dumb-ass silliness! Buying a car shouldn't be so complicated, especially since you've worked as hard as possible to line everything up on your end!
I got a good price on an EV with less than 3000 miles on it. I keep telling myself the end result is worth it.

Tomorrow after a meeting I walk over to the dealership (hubs is sick or he'd drive me) and pick up the car.
My parrot will never forgive me for tonight. If you think we're bad about following routines, you should spend time with a parrot.
@ScottSoCal @thelaughingmuse my dog is the same, I sometimes wonder if she's autistic. I mean, why not? 🤷♂️
Good luck with the car. I can empathise and dread it each time. Just GIVE ME A CAR!!!
I have no idea how I managed to buy my boat. When I'm motivated, somehow I will walk through an inferno, but anything else can just piss off and I'll do without.
