69
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 3: I was like, no, no, no, no, no no. I

70
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:05,120

00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 3: In a rental car, Fuck, what's gonna what?

72
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,000

73
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:11,919
Speaker 3: I checked, I checked number plate.

74
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 1: Right, because Belgian friend might have been like, oh.

78
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 3: the receipt, I was like, the plate's fine. I checked

79
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 3: the rental car thing. I was like, okay, well I'll

80
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 3: just park this and to the side. And sure enough,

81
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 3: two days later, I get an email from the rental

82
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 3: car company saying you you didn't pay your fee. I'll

83
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 3: get out you didn't pay your fee, so we're going

84
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 3: to charge you the fee plus an admin ah pass

85
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 3: off And I'm like, but I paid it. So what happened? Well,

86
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 3: so I rang them and they're like, you didn't pay it,

87
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 3: and I'm like, I did pay it your credit card.

88
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 3: I sent them the email and they replying back, I

89
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 3: don't know where the call center is. I will say

90
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 3: it somewhere overseas and the n ZTA course the rental

91
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 3: car company. So and so they emailed me back saying

92
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 3: you're gonna have to take this up with with the

93
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 3: transport n c t A. So I ring them up

94
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 3: for two dollars for two and at this stage I'm like,

95
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 3: is this worth my time? But no, But I'm worried

96
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 3: that because when you sign the rental car agreement. You

97
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 3: get a toll, you pay the toll plus a sixty

98
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 3: dollar fee. So I'm like, I don't want to pay

99
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 3: that sixty dollars. There's no way on earth because I've

100
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 3: paid this toll. So ring up n Z t A

101
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 3: and I'm like, hey, here's the license plate. He's like, oh, okay,

102
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 3: your time worth at this point, by the way, so

103
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 3: far two dollars thirty. And so I ring the guy

104
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 3: and he's like, oh, yeah, so I see why that

105
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 3: hasn't gone through because somebody has an account on that

106
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 3: license plate. Oh the automatic yeah, and automatic, and our

107
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 3: plate is registered and so when we drove through tolls

108
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 3: just takes it from our car and then just automatically.

109
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 1: Because it's our car. Why bringtle have that.

110
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 3: You know? And there So I said to him, I

111
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 3: was like, who, what's the account? He's like, the rental

112
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 3: car company's account, So do you owe them money? And

113
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 3: I'm like weird? And so then I messaged them and

114
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 3: call them and they're like, no, we don't have an

115
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 3: account on that car.

116
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 1: Oh God, take accountability like fuck's sake.

117
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 3: And then so yeah, I'm just I'm I just emailed

118
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 3: the MAC and they're like, no, take it up with them,

119
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 3: and I'm like, oh, I just fucking give up. And

120
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,679
Speaker 3: so then they take two lots of two dollars thirty

121
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 3: off my credit card, but no sixty dollar fee. Okay,

122
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 3: well that's they charged me twice for the instead of one.

123
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: And I've been said there thinking that you're an asshole

124
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:44,719
Speaker 1: trying to pull the wool over their eyes.

125
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, and so now I'm like, I think I'm just

126
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 3: letting this go and it's a loss. But if I

127
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,720
