I just need a little vent time!




Ok, so tonight I thought, I'm gonna take my kids and do something fun. Jason was working as usual on a Friday night. And I didn't want to sit home. So we headed down to the Movies 8 (yes, I know it trash, but it was the only place playing a kid movie). Parking is sparse down there, cuz every poor BYU couple and and their 6 children under 6 apparently come here every Saturday for entertainment cuz its so cheap. So I had to park out in the boonies. But I found a place, well, half of a space. The car I parked next to was an Excursion and had taken part of my spot. But I figured oh well, this will have to do, the movie is starting!
So an hour and a half later, me and my kiddo's return to our parking spot to find no freaking van! I could not believe my eyes! So I wandered down a bit where I found a sign! Called the # and asked if they had towed my car? Yes, Ma am we did! "Why may I ask?" He replied, "Your tire was in a red zone" Yea, you heard me, my freaking tire was in a red zone, a tire! Oh my heck, I was so dang ripped! And then when I asked, "sooo..., how do I go about getting my car back?, and let me remind you, I'm down here with two little kids and no husband. He had the nerve to tell me, Hitch a ride or walk! OK, thanks DOUCHE!
So we walked to Shopko and finally got a hold of my mom, and she drove me down to the rat hole of a place and I had to pay a $133.00 to get it out! That's like a pair of MEK jeans, or a new baby stroller! And to top it off, they only take Visa or Mastercard, no checks, but if your using Visa or Mastercard there will be a 3% charge! Oh, so there is basically a 3% charge no matter what? Cuz, I always carry around that much cash! My blood was boiling by now! I was so bugged! But what do you do? So, I guess you all know what I got for my Birthday today! My van back! Yippee! Well at least the movie was cute, and cheap! Oh well, this is the story of my life! I just had to vent a little, so I feel better about myself! And to tell everyone who reads this to boycott Knights Towing on 736 w. columbia ln in Provo, cuz they suck! Royally!

Towing companies are ruthless!! Just ask Josh. We fought our last towing experience and a cop came out and told the towers THEY were in the wrong. So they had to give our $ back. That sucks! Happy Birthday!
