Greyhound rocks :fyi:

So, at the end of Summer term, my friend Sam (who goes to UF) asked me to go up to Gainesville and chill with him for the last few days and drive down with him. [We were best friends in High School and spent most of our time chilling at one of our houses, so we were close and we hadn't seen each other in a few months].

I agreed, bought a Greyhound ticket, and endured the 9 hours of a pure hate-provoking ride. When we reached Orlando, our bus reached a station and half of the passengers were transfering, so they took cleaned up the bus and refueled.

When I got to Gainesville, I come to find they lost me bags. God knows how.

I called Greyhound, and after a few hours on the phone, they said they'd have the bag to me by tomorrow morning... that turned into afternoon, then the next morning... basically until I had to leave they kept promising it in 6 hour intervals.

After I got home, they finally returned it to Miami (I had to go pick it up... they couldn't even ship it to me), my bag was ripped (I had a nice leather bag), my sleeping bag somehow disappeared. Luckily for me, I had a bag with all my medication in it (I have hardcore acid reflux. If I don't take pills my stomach bleeds), or I would've been fcked.

So, I file a claim, and they ask what's gone... I lied because... fuck Greyhound. They shouldn'tve lost my bag.

Literally 3 months later, they send me a letter notifying me they're sending me $250 bucks. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/woot.gif.aaa6090e619a97b6090d16dd863c5a69.gif

But I found it weird... they sent me a letter saying they were gunna pay me, but they couldnt've sent the check with the letter?

Anyway, TABLESAW HERE I COME!

If it rests better on your conscience, I'll spray paint the Greyhound logo on it...

Screw em, you shoulda said that they broke your new amplifier you were bringing back home too. Huge companies don't care about the individual that rides, so I aint mad at you for getting paid.

Seems to me that you deserve more than 250 for not having your gear with you on vacation //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

Dude... I put they stole/lost my iPod touch (32gb), my Macbook Pro 17", and my 1TB external HD.

All of that is worth more than 1K. I could dispute it... but seeing how I didn't lose anything, I think I'm getting more than what it's worth. The only cost to me was my bag and my sleeping bag. The bag was a hand-me-down from my Grandfather and the sleeping bag was like $10 bucks.
