How do I articulate going on five hours of ever increasing rage.

1415 h today driving home from work. Cop a stone in windscreen. 20 cent piece size in the drivers view. Car now technically defective.

Call insurance company whilst driving. Modern fang dangled dial of the media screen hands free stuff. I have too dollar insurance with windscreen hire car and new for old. No need to get upset.

Claim go in in insurance company are helpful and informations all going well.

Windscreen mob ring me up. Won't name them.

Mate we've been contacted to fix your windscreen. We're in gee bung your in Warner you work in Ipswich. We will fix us windscreen in the car park if your workplace in Ipswich.

All going well until I attempt to get them to commit to a date and time. Kinda want to know and it would be polite to give the boss a heads up. After inning and arghing I click. They don't have a windscreen and they don't really know yet what windscreen the need modern dangled seniority things in glass. Brushy been smashed all windscreen in brassy are gone and they are madly shipping them from interstate.

All sing all dancing insurance no good if there is no glass.

Rights mate how about you ring me when you have a windscreen and we will tee up a time and place to fit.

His reply sounds good mate will do.

At this time I'm at home it's stinking hot and my pool is calling me.

But playing on the back of my mind is I have to attend my sisters wedding Monday at Byron Bay. An interstate drive in silly season with coppers on edge. Not wanting a fine and worse loss of demerit points. I ring the coppers. Fellas been a while since I've brushed up on rules and regulations. This is what happened claim in can I drive my car.

A jury direct response as only the constabulary can give.

Mate your car is defective you shouldn't have driven it home, if you drive and get caught your an idiot.

Righto then. The pool will have to wait.

Ring Brisbane Prestige the Škoda dealer. Hey fellas you guys got smashed in the storm. Windscreen mins are giving me the run around. What do I tell them when they want to know what windscreen us in this thing.

Mate give us us rego. Clicking of keyboards. Tell me this, but we have one sitting right here.

It's now 1640 h they knock of soon, sales open day but not service or parts.

Mate I will ring my insurance company give me ya details, do you mind if they ring you. No dramas mate good luck.

Ring insurance company. Hey fellas. You know how your suppliers can't tell you when they can provide a windscreen and it's about yo cost a small fortune giving me a hire car for an undisclosed period of time. Well there us one here here's a name and a number. He's due to knock if soon.

Well solutions and working around problems apparently is not what insurance companies do. Stubborn old fart mode kicked in and refused to believe that an insurance company could not coordinate getting a windscreen from Brisbane Prestige and fitting it to my car. Even though I could get my car to place if windscreen. Defective yes but driving to point if repair is ok.

Listen insert name. It's fairly obvious that you cannot help me dan I please speak to someone else. On hold half and hour before I hang up and realised that she probably put me in a never ending cue.

f*ck it time for pool. Nope f*ck stubborn old fart mode wasn't don't with.

Ring back insurance company. Get an extremely helpful lady. That after 1 hour if being on hold on and off for did the following.

Mate we won't pay for an original windscreen when we can get an after market one cheaper. But as you have pointed out if we don't it's going to cost us ten times that in hire car costs.

She rang Brisbane Prestige who as it turned out hung around as they were expecting a call. Time is now 1730 h. Explained that if I could lock in a time for them to get a windscreen she would get it authorised and explain how I would get rembursed.

I will be in the line. Well time locked in the cost. f*ck me $240 fitted. But an expert but that's cheap. Brisbane prestige hang up but she's gone.

Fark

Ring insurance company back try to get to speak to her again. No can I help you.

Explain story. This lady was not helpful.

Stated that unamed windscreen mob had a solution and that I'm welcome to get Brisbane Prestige to fit a windscreen but no guarantee I will get rembursed.

Rage rage rage but e terror is came and manner direct but polite. Windscreen company haven't yet provided date not time only that they will fit at my place of work. That plan was fine over an hour ago before it was made abundantly clear that my car was now defective.

There do much more. But the long and short of it. That a 20 cent piece size bullseye on a car covered by top notch insurance is farmed as there's no glass due to storms. Christ is coming and Monday I'm at a wedding and Tuesday I have to work. Boss made that clear.

$24o dollar part that is sitting in Brisbane.

Now I have to drive a small hire car. For an undisclosed period of time. That will cost them money and me money and annoyance.

Why me money. Well Škoda has fuel card. Hire car doesn't.

Insurance companies money so who cares. My money in grand scheme of things is negliable. But stubborn old fart mode is frustrated and pissed off.

Plus I have to turn up to a wedding in an I20 or something.

Could be worse. Could be a VF.

It's now 1950 h. f*ck it here I come pool.

Drove down to Adelaide and back tonight with a friend....Freeway driving......a total of 168km.

Filled it up and reset the 'average economy' thingy before I left and used cruise control all the way down to the city and back.

WPMO

14.7km/100

On the farken freeway with NO boost coz she's affraid of driving fast so didn't exceed 110

The economy was better when the weather started to warm up - coming out of winter - but now it's back to total farken sh1t.

Can't afford to use that much.
