I had a tree fall on my truck back during Thanksgiving, and it dented my hood and cab roof. It really wasn't bad, but the paint and body place couldn't get to it till last month. Supply chain issues, they said. Whatever. But, they kept it for a month. A month of driving and smoking in a rental car. I really missed my truck. Driving a small car made me feel like a poor person trying to save money on gas, yuck. Plus, it had these dings, warnings, and flashing lights if you drove over a line in the road. And, every now and then it would make a buzzer sound for no apparent reason. And, a stupid back up camera, like I am some kind of idiot that can't back a car up. I hated the damned thing and was anxious to ditch it.
So, I was excited to get that call that my truck was finished, and I could come pick it up. First off, the car rental places always tell you that you can't smoke in the rentals, and I prove them wrong every time. They never say a word. I'm pretty sure that they mean just cigarettes, which do leave behind a terrible stench. Good thing pipes don't. If they asked, I would totally pay whatever fine they want to inflict on me, ha ha.
But, anyway, I finished the paperwork, and got into the truck, and the workers were all standing around watching my reaction when I get in. When I opened the door I was hit with the smell of Lysol. I hate that smell. I do not even allow candles in my home. The worker came up and said that he had a hard time getting the smoke smell out of my truck. He also said that he vacuumed a pound of tobacco out from under my seat. I was furious. I told that peckerhead that no one had asked me if they could clean up the cab. And, I especially did not want the smell "dealt with," like it was some sort of negative thing. After putting a finger in all of their faces and letting them all know of my disappointment with their company, I left with some rubber left on their asphalt. I know, I know... I was a Karen, but they were the ones "assuming shit". Not everyone wants to drive something that smells like a hospital bathroom. Hell, I can't even stand the "new car smell" as it reminds me too much of Sutliff tobaccos.
This assumption that the smell of the finest pipe tobaccos is a negative is so wrong to me. And, I do not keep a vehicle with resale in mind. I buy a vehicle to use it at my will, not to keep in some sort of order for the next owner. And, it affecting resale, ha ha, I've never had that problem, and I could care less what I will get for it. I will buy my next vehicle when I get tired of this one, same way i bought this one... paid for at the time of sale.
Anyways, my truck is ghosted with the lakeland smell of Lysol. It's terrible. I am running errands in it today, windows down, smoking like a freight train to return my truck to its comforting aromas of home for me. I got a call from the owner of the Paint and Body place just a minute ago, apologizing for his employee's assumptions. He was very apologetic, and I forgave him and his company. But, this doesn't mean that I will forget...
Tell me how much you love the aroma of fine tobaccos. Keep it positive.
