CLASSIFICATION: Entitled People Stories
WITNESS ON RECORD: TwoDollarTess
JURY OF 196 READERS HEARD THIS CASE: 138 believed it, 25 had doubts, 33 weren't buying it.
I booked a van and two men for a Saturday, six weeks out, because I am organised and because moving with a bad back is a lesson you only need once.
Two days before, the company rang to confirm the cancellation.
I said what cancellation.
They said I had rung on Wednesday at 11:40 and cancelled, and rebooked for a Tuesday in three weeks.
I had not. I was at work at 11:40 on Wednesday, in a meeting, with eleven witnesses and, thank God, a calendar invite.
Then they said the thing that turned this from a mix-up into a story: the caller had asked whether the Saturday slot would now be free, and whether it could be transferred to a different address on the same street.
That address is number 8.
Number 8 is a woman who had told me, at the bins, three weeks earlier, that she was "having trouble getting a van" and that it was "typical" that I had one.
