STEPS TO ADMITTING THAT YOU’VE MADE A MISTAKE IN ACCEPTING AN OFFER OF A FREE RENTAL CAR
- “A free rental car? That sounds terrific! Thanks!”
- Wait 20 minutes for driver to show up to take you to rental car office.
- Drive less than 1/4 mile to rental car office.
- Fill out paperwork for rental car. Decline insurance because you’re kinda sorta sure you’re already covered by your regular car insurance.
- Accept keys for one of those really goofy rectangular breadbox-looking mini SUV things you make fun of other people for driving.
- Check around you to make sure no one you know can see you climbing inside as you hang your head in embarrassment.
- Drive 1 mile to work.
- Explain situation to coworkers who see you driving up in hideous “new” car.
- Realize work is less than 1 mile from the dealer and you could’ve been there half an hour ago if you’d just walked.
- Work for four hours.
- Get call from the dealer that your car is ready.
- Begin process of returning rental car.
