Service Time

When girl meets U-​Haul.
I rented my first U-​Haul truck from Tee at Service Time (great customer service) and I had the ride of my life. I could barely make it out of the U-​Haul lot. I sat in confusion for 10 min trying to figure out how to move my mirrors. Its not automatic. I rolled down my window and with a finger tried pushing the mirrors. No dice. The mirror was also covered in cobwebs. Ewwwww. Happy Halloween. I am deathly afraid of spiders so instead of forcing the mirror with my fist, I gave up. I didn’t even bother looking in the dash for the U-​Haul manual. I was holding up traffic. So with beads of sweat pouring out of my forehead and armpit stains, I grabbed that U-​Haul by the steering wheel and ventured through the ghettos of Oakland*. I had to stretch my neck from side to side just to see all the cars on the road beside and behind me. Blind spots? Blah! I was a true menace on the road.
Loading the U-​Haul wasn’t so bad. For a mere $ 89, I had a 10′ truck which was more than enough space to move my queen size bed and bedside tables. Luckily all of my miscellaneous crap did not shift in the truck nor break. The door of the truck was a little tricky. It’s like a store front gate. I had to use all of my non muscles to slam the door shut and lock it in place.
Now the fun begins. I’m driving on 24 and begin to smell a putrid odor. Ugh what is it?! Near nausea and gagging, I roll down the windows to get fresh air. It smelled like rotten milk. I look to the cupholders and one of the cupholders is filled to the brim with suspicious brown liquid. It’s not coffee (and no I didn’t taste it) and it just wreaked.
I was never so happy to drop that U-​Haul off in Walnut Creek. The job was done but it wasn’t pleasant.
*No offense to Oakland. I hella heart Oakland.
How was your move?
