Due to an unfortunate car accident a couple of weeks ago (all ok, thanks), we were granted the use of a rental car for a time period. The rental agency of choice was Enterprise.<\/p>\n
All I know about Enterprise is \u201cThey got an excellent corporate structure and they…they give you the tools to be your own boss.\u201d \u2013 Brennan Huff, Step Brothers<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Here\u2019s how that came true for me today.<\/p>\n Apparently in the fine print of the Enterprise\u00a0rental agreement, it says that you are not allowed to have pets in their cars.\u00a0 So today, when I return the car feeling great that I\u2019m just responsible for paying the taxes as my insurance company said they\u2019d cover the rest \u2013 the dude behind the counter in a clip-on tie says \u2013 \u201cAh, Mr. Greene, everything looks in order, but we\u2019re going to have to assess you a detailing fee.\u201d I, of course, ask why?\u00a0 \u201cBecause there is an inordinate amount of dog hair in the backseat.\u201d<\/p>\n Alright, yes, I did have the dog in the backseat several times \u2013 I mean runs to the train station, taking family members to work or picking them up, this is fun times for the puppy \u2013 and besides this rental car is easier for her to get into than our current car.<\/p>\n I ask \u2013 \u201cHow much is the detailing fee?\u201d Answer – $50. Considering I\u2019m likely paying less than that in taxes, I say to the dude \u2013 \u201cHand me back the keys and I\u2019ll be back after I vacuum since that is a ridiculous amount of money.\u201d\u00a0 They kindly offer to let me use their vacuum on site, which I gratefully accept \u2013 and proceeded to vacuum the car thoroughly.<\/p>\n Admittedly, when I looked at the back seat, it had all the appearances of a recently exploded chocolate lab, literally fur everywhere the eye could see! \u00a0Fine, so I finished the job and returned to the office where (after checking my work) they apologized for making me do that as did I for letting my Sasquatch of a dog hang in the back seat for a couple of car rides.<\/p>\n Still, annoyed as I was after finally paying the taxes and leaving, I couldn\u2019t help but feel like I had my own car rental agency for just a moment…no thanks!<\/p>\n I\u2019ll leave you with this Will Ferrell perspective\u2026 http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=26-W7I3Ji_U<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Due to an unfortunate car accident a couple of weeks ago (all ok, thanks), we were granted the use of a rental car for a time period.
