Who's Gonna Drive You Home?

I've been trying to sort out renting a car with this company called Orix – I had contacted them 2-3 times over the last few weeks to say I was interested in hiring one of their cars, but had got nothing in response. So I re-sent one of the emails to them and this guy replies back saying that he must have “deleted my correspondences”.

Cheers, tosser.

Anyway, I call him up to arrange the rental over the phone, but he’s at lunch – but will "definitely call me back".

He doesn’t, tosser.

I call again over the following couple of days and this elusive guy still wouldn't return my calls, so I arrange with another company, Mayflower, who were more than happy to talk to me. I then send Orix an email to tell them what I thought of their Customer Services, and they how they could stick their car rentals up their Orix.

My new car

The lovely lady from Mayflower, Evadura, is really efficient, and my car will be with me the following day...I am a little bit apprehensive about this as driving in Malaysia (especially Kuala Lumpur) is somewhat chaotic, for want of a better word. Granted: they do drive on the same side of the road as the UK, but other than the fact there is tarmac on the road, the similarity pretty much ends there.

On the very, VERY plus side, though, I will have my independence back and the freedom of just getting in a car and going somewhere! How exciting!
