THE AMERICAN KLEPTOCRACY

We really have turned into a shameless kleptocracy and fraudster nation filled with crooks and grifters at all levels.

Soooooo my pops goes to Enterprise Rent-Car to pick up a car for the day while his is in the shop and while he has the car he takes it over to Kroger to do some grocery shopping.  While there some dipshit scratches the driver's side door and doesn't leave a note with their info (of course!).

So when Dad turns the car in he points out the scratch and the car rental manager says that's not that horrible and my Dad offers to pay for it right then and there.  Rental manager says it'll cost about 500 bucks and my pops says fine, put it on my card.

All done.  Right?

WRONG!

A month later pops gets his credit card bill and there's a charge from Enterprise on it for a repair --- price ------$8,900!

Dad calls them up and says that their own manager agreed to bill him $500 for the damage and he points out that a verbal agreement in Kentucky is binding.  

So they say, "OK, we'll take $4,000."

To which Dad told them to go fuck themselves.

To which they said, "OK, we'll take $2,100."

{Pro-tip: if someone sends you a bill and you tell them to get fucked and they keep knocking down what they'll take until they're willing to take 24% of what they originally billed you.....that person or company is a fraudster.}

Anyways, Dad told them to go fuck themselves (again) and they turned him over to a collection agent who sent him a bill for.........

$6,000!

The people and companies who behave like this are all Making America Great Again.
