Can't escape!
12.15.08 (8:46 am)   [edit]

I knew I wouldn't hear the last of the couple that bought my dad's car. They are annoying to no end! I guess good on them for making sure they get the most of their purchase. But most people who buy used cars do not contact the seller afterwards. The bill of sale was also signed stating they were buying the car as is.

Anyway, there was some sort of extended warranty package on the car, and the new owners found out that it was transferrable, but they needed some sort of signature. I think I would have just forged it, if possible. 

So they called me and left a message. I didn't feel like calling back right away, so I didn't. Then they called me again a few hours later. And then when I got home, I found out that they had called me there, too. Only -- I don't recall giving them my home phone number. How the hell did they get it??

I probably wouldn't have given them the time of day, but they're still a potential buyer for my dad's condo if the sale doesn't go through this week. I played nice, and I did call them back because I knew I wouldn't be able to help them either.

When the buyer called, he told me that my mom needed to sign something. How presumptuous. My mom never had anything to do with my car. The car was driven by my dad's mistress until she moved back to Hong Kong. So I gleefully told the buyer "oh, my parents are divorced. That's not my mom."  Then the buyer asked me if it would be convenient to pass along the person's phone number. And I gleefully replied, "she lives in Hong Kong now." He realised he was probably out of luck.

Bha! It's a good thing too - transferring those extended warranty things can be a pain in the ass. One less thing for you to deal with. Hope all goes well with the condo too!

They probably got your number from a bathroom stall somewhere. I've been promoting you for a good time!

I need all the publicity I can get, but not that kind!
