Sunday drama

Ok, it was a lazy Sunday afternoon…

I have had a wonderful church service and after a long time I felt so great & proud to be part of the Praise & Worship team, t’was just beautiful…

When I got home I decided to take “my baby” to the car wash. Once in a while I would lay my cute lil hands on her & massage her with oils & give her some loving. This particular Sunday I wanted to watch WWE ke le fresh & with undivided attention, get what I mean?!?

I usually drop the car there at the car wash, walk back to my house since its not far & come back later. 15minutes later the owner of the car wash knocked at my gate and said in a shaky voice : ‘hello ma’am, I, I, I…I…we cant find your car keys, one of the boys…blah blah blah…so the keys must be in the car that was infront of yours! (the whole time I was looking her right into her eyes & she kept looking away & pointing @ nothings with her hands….and I am saying nothing!!)

She continues :We will try to trace that particular car owner... he is a ZCC member... I dont know how we going to get hold of him, we don’t have his contacts nothing, nothing at all…she burst out in tears ,OMG!..at this pointI just wanted to say 'wipe your tears lady & gimme me my car keys!' It was like a joke or something...(at the back of my mind im like: WTH, how many ZCC’s are there around?)

“Not even the registration number?”
“oh, yeah, lemme ask the boys” she said sniffing (This time I’m saying in my heart : Jeso tla o utlwe tlhe!)

1 hour later I walk there, nothing has happened & its getting dark now. She suggests to push my car to my house & they can trace the owner of the other car the following day through the transport dept.She wants me to get inside while they push, im like “what do I do there, I have never been pushed before so do your stuff my dear"… I'm seeing the reality now of the whole thing, I dont know whether to panick(like I have a choice) or atleast prentend like im panicking or just remain calm coz I didnt know how I was really feeling at that time...Im a grown up girl.

While the boys do, I make my important points clear :

>> I will use taxis to work tomorrow when I come back I should find my car keys here. (I’m sweet like that bathong-God I need a reward 4this)

>>If not, then I will be taking your car (I was trying to be strong but at the inside my heart I felt sooo bad,I wanted to take back my words)

>>>If by Wednesday the keys are still not there then we can take it from there…

So today I came to work with a Jetta & its too big 4me I feel like im driving my mom’s car…and this forward reverse thingie is just a problem for me..e nkhawatile ko dirobotong, shem!

Oh shame, this is sooooooo funny ms T and yet sad. I am finished!!

Dont you have a spare key?

on a serious note what if they come back for your car, it is possible that the person may have taken the keys with the intent of taking your car

I really hope that this lady makes a plan, have they called to let you know if they got them?

I do have the spare key but i dont want to entertain the idea of using coz the next thing she is going to relax & not find the lost key.

shem huni - y u punishing yourself - just get them to cut another from the duplicate or using the ignition if you don want to reveal them that you have a second key - chances of getting the key back r slim....did u have a key holder with any o your details (I hope not coz they could easily find your house and steal your car...)

My brother's car was stolen in a similar manner, his car was found in Windhoek missing some parts, it was a long process & he had to take 1 & half years as a pedestrian, so I want to make sure that there is nothing sinister going on first...
its not easy when you sweat so much to achieve things...

My advice to to all you bloggers is never leave your car at the carwash, its so dangerous. you will never know when disaster strikes.

i know two people who their cars were involved in accidents at carwashes, be it minor or not, at the end of the day your car is damaged, by a 19 year old who does not have a driver's.

carwash boys use your cars to learn to drive

ms.tebby aren't you even a bit scared that person might come back for your car,tjo! These Car Wash people must learn to keep records of who's cars they are washing and at what times. This will help to solve problems like this,

How did your khakhi (car key) end up in another persons car? hmm i smell a rat to that woman's story,are you sure that those were real tears?..

Uuuuuh shame you are a better person than me shame, I’d be serving a life sentence for chopping and murdering someone with an axe cha! Whatever you do, don’t use your spare keys…I mean only God knows what REALLY REALLY happened to your keys. Imagine parking your car coming back to find house-to-let. Just think about it, this is Msanzi after all!

mjj you are forgiven, & i hope they saw your greetings. LOL @ Gcina Hlope, Phikza i will take that as a compliment

i have just come back from collecting my car keys ( like 15 minutes back) , this lady from the car wash was so excited she called me at 6.03.31am today (waking me up frm my sleep, i normally wake up @ 6.45am to shower)
>>apparently this ZCC man saw these keys on Monday but it he was working outside town for 2days (mara why didnt he drop them off b4 he went outside town? he is lucky I did not see him, nxa!)so when he came back yesterday thats when he dropped them off at the car wash...
So my car got another wash this morning & has 5 more free wash as a reward for my being a nice young woman, he he he he....ladies be like me!

LOL you are too nice Miss T.

My mom had taken her car to a mechanic and had to walk a kilometre to fetch itin the afternoon, then she saw some guy driving her car with a woman, while she was walking in the sun. She practically ran to the mechanics place.

She got there at the same time with guy in her car.So my mom had a talk with owner of the place.

Dearest mommy: Why am I seeing this guy driving a fat white woman in my car?
The guy who was in the car: It's not a fat white woman, it's my wife.
DM: What was your fat wife doing in my car?
TGWWITC: She's not fat, she was late for work
DM: Well the walk would have done her some good

And then the owner of the place apologised and my mom paid half price for the work they did, and mind you my mom ain't skinny-I was wondering why the guy didn't point that to her

21 May 2009 12:46

KeleFab you know yesterday I was starting to get really restless , it was now the 3rd day with no good report to give coz she wasnt updating me with the transport dept route tha she suggested....and at the same time I was uncofortable with her car you know! my mind was so full of what if's..and my brother was scolding me all the time about my '"stupidity'" to just be calm about the whole thing

Phikza :just trying to console myself, but really he was going to tell me why he was being soo ruthless

ms.tebby
21 May 2009 13:03

Teri...jst saw your reply now....I had my hands in my pockets & watched the game.
And you know the cars wash is behind my yard, the main gate is the other side & to get to the gate you have to go round which is almost 2km...when I walk I usually use the small gate at the back

.............and this forward reverse thingie is just a problem for me..e nkhawatile ko dirobotong, shem!...............he,he,he........I know someone who hit the gate with this VW's forward reverse.

My ordeal , on Wednesday morning, got on my car, realised I don't have petrol. I thought of going to the ATM and it was still dark. I then decided to turn to the nearest garage in town, asked the gentlemen if they accept cheque cards. He said yes, bought R200 petrol, when I go to the paypoint, the cashier was too quick to press cash button instead of EFT. Bathong, I waited for someone who will come and buy for R200 or more. People came and buy 3 litres and 5 litres, those with nice cars used accounts.

She then suggested that I live my card and collect it later. Yho, I refused. After waiting for 25 minutes, she added all the R20's and R50's, swipe my card and it came with the message that she should use the back device and hit enter. She inserted the card and the machine didn't respond. And I was thinking, for all this minutes waiting and I am already 20 minutes late from work and this.

And she gave me the piece of paper to write my details and live my card with it. I just co-operated and left my card there, on my way to work, I thought about fraud and I called STD Bank and block the bloody card.

In the evening , I passed by the garage asked for my card. The new shift said they didn't tell them anything. They showed me lots of cards and mine was not there.

They called me today to come and pay, I just told the lady to get lost. I will come masengifuna. I blocked my card mos!

Is there a way of criminals using my profile even if the card is blocked?
