This morning, I discovered that on the 3 remaining wooden garage doors in our project, there was a long printed notice or advertisement stapled (yes, STAPLED, as with a staple gun, permanently affixed metal pieces) to the front of the garage doors. Mine was one of those doors. It was from The Mesa Companies, that stupid garage door replacement company. The note reads:

PLEASE CALL [phone #] EXT 2203
TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT FOR
PREMEASUREMENTS AND THE
INSTALLATION OF YOUR NEW GARAGE DOOR!
HOA DIVISION
[the same phone #]
REPRESENTATIVE: _____________________
DATE: __________________
TIME: __________________

Are they freaking kidding me? They’re gonna staple up notices as if it’s OUR negligence that’s keeping our doors from being changed, and they even highlighted the first line, as if yelling at us to call them to cooperate with them, when it’s THEM who’ve failed time and time again to follow through on THEIR jobs? The other laughably ridiculous thing is, the phone number which they printed TWICE on this notice, is the very same number that always rings and then goes to a voice mail that nobody ever returns. No one in my association had been able to reach a live person on that number, nor have had their/our messages left on that number returned. You can’t GET to extension 2203, because no one ever picks up to transfer you there! Plus, I already GOT my appointments for premeasurement and installation made, the dates have come and gone, and it was Mesa’s stupid incompetence that caused my door to not be changed! That reminds me. They have 3 phone numbers to reach me, and they never called when they “supposedly” couldn’t get a hold of me to install the door on Monday, and they never called me back when I called them Monday after seeing that they didn’t change my door. I had to call THEM to find out THEIR mistake. And nice job on not filling in the representative name, date or time on the notice. I wouldn’t want to be responsible for or affiliated with such idiocy, either.

I’m so calling Better Business Bureau as soon as I get my door installed.
