Julie and the kids.
As I sat at kitchen table surfing the web with the baseball game playing on the living room TV, I heard the first shouts between a man and a woman. I live in a semi-rural area, and have a 1/4 mile long driveway, so I don’t get too many unexpected visitors. Plus, it was raining outside pretty hard.
I walked to the door and looked outside. There was a tow truck driver just down my driveway a bit getting into a heated argument with a lady in a beat-up late ’80s station wagon.
I grabbed my coat and headed outside to see what this argument was about, and more importantly, why it was happening on my driveway.
As I got closer, I could hear what they were saying:
“Lady, look at the paperwork, it’s right here. You owe the money.”
“But I called last week and they said it was ok to make smaller payments.”
