Continuing Rant Thread - Get it Off Ya Chest here

Is Rodox still in print ?.
If not I know where I can get some ....hmm retro porn could be worth a dollar or two on some shady intersale site.

Would the odd page being stuck together affect the colectability much you reckon?

Rodox? Isn't that a bath salt?

Yep. Glossy, full colour Danish bath salt.

Can you have someone 'famous' sign it?

Just received this link from my boss man..

http://www.smh.com.au/business/consumer-affairs/hertz-to-refund-hundreds-of-customers-it-falsely-accused-of-damaging-rental-cars-20160405-gnymfe.html

Towards the end of 2013 Hertz claimed I caused 2 lots of damage to 2 rental cars (after months of hiring cars through them for a project I was working on in SA without any issues - My work just hires us a rental car for the trip to the airport for the convenience..). Both cars were returned on a Monday morning to Sydney airport just before 5AM (with my flight being at 6AM) on consecutive Mondays.

Those were the only two occasions I had dropped the car off before anyone was manning the Hertz office and have been the only two claims of damage to cars to date (for our entire office). One was for a metre long crack on the front windscreen ($250) and one for a completely smashed in rear passenger door ($750). Not just a scratch, but as if it had been hit by another car.

Both occasions I contacted Hertz immediately after receiving the bills and had my work chase them up for CCTV footage so that we could prove my innocence but was told that the CCTV cameras were not working during this period (or some other shit along those lines..)

Interesting to note that both those incidents occurred during the period the article reports Hertz were making false claims. Dirty feckers.

I can see a class action for interest loss of income and psychological injury.

Plus costs asociated with increased alcohol consumption brought about by aforementioned psychological injury.

Sly bastards with all their 'reduce the excess' suggestions at the counter.
Whenever I hire one of their vehicles, I give it such a revving..

Gonna rant about the trains not working this morning. Not because they weren't working, which was a pain, nor about the recorded announcements which gave out false information, but about the retards who think they have the right to take out their anger and frustration on the station staff. It's not going to make the trains run, it's not their fault, and it makes you look like a dickhead.

Interesting article , on several occasions either my wife and I or my wife and her work have hired cars from Hertz and on return ALL vehicles were inspected by staff before the return was approved.
These cars were hired damn near all over this country yet each time the vehicles were returned they were inspected by women....
No faults were found and paper work was exchanged to cover both parties, nothing gets past a women,nothing !, perhaps that's where Hertz has fcked up.

I was in that queue at Ringwood station this morning too.

Most folks were good about it - that was the longest orderly queue for replacment buses I have ever seen. Usually it just one big angry mob.

Sadly theres always the odd nutbag that thinks their ranting will get the trains running again.

I've been using Hertz for years through work across Australia and each time the car gets a once-over by staff before being returned. The problem with the two occasions where they have claimed damages is that I had returned the car before 5AM (between 4:30-4:45AM for a 6AM flight) and their office doesn't open til 5AM so no one was there to sign off on it.

It is just incredibly suspicious that the only two times Hertz have claimed damages for any of the cars I have hired have been the only two occasions where no one was there to sign off the car and have had to leave the keys in the 'after hours' drop off box. It just so happens that these two occasions fall within the period the article states Hertz had been making false claims.

If it was a little scratch on a door or something which I may not have picked up on then I'd take full responsibility. However, both claims showed serious damage to the car (windscreen and rear door) where I would have needed to be involved in some sort of accident for either of them to have happened.


Rabble, rabble, rabble..

Sounds like someone is going through the files and finding after hours drop offs like yours to fiddle the books.dodgey mongrels.
