ONLY AT A
SELF SERVE
The following are some funny comments
seen on carwashforum.com
Complaint from a woman at the wash; “I’m not coming
back here! I paid $9, ran out of time, and got soap and
water all over my feet. Why
is there soap all over the
floor?!?!” She was in flip
flops. We sold her $5 more in
tokens, said thank you and
walked away. - Waxman
Get a message yesterday “fragrance did not
come out”. Several messages of me asking
actual details like what location and which
vacuum, finally they say vacuum #8. I check and
see they vacuumed at #8, but turned the fragrance
on at #7. Asked if they were at the same vac the whole
time, “yes”. Well, you turned on the fragrance on #7. “Well,
#8 only had the shampoo function, so I had to turn on #7.
Did I have to move my car over that one”? First time for
everything I guess. - slash007
The story of one car wash worker who was scared sudless!
Mike Hallowell, a columnist writing for the Jarrow and Hebburn
Gazette in England said he was asking for ghost stories submission.
One particular story stood out to Hallowell. It was from Jimmy
Swift, a former car wash worker who believed the room where the
containers of wax were stored was haunted.
“I walked into the room as normal, and went to get the first of
the containers,” Swift said. “Just as I was about to pick it up I
suddenly felt very strange, as if I was being watched. …I looked
around but there was definitely no one else in there, so I just left.
The next morning I went into the room again, and straight away I
got the same feeling, as if someone was staring at me. This time I
mentioned it to another lad who worked there, and he said, ‘Why do
you think the new person always gets that job? No one else will go
in there – it’s haunted.’
Swift said soon after that he told his boss he was quitting. Upon
quitting, his boss said he once found a dead dog in that same
storage room.
Hallowell said he tried to contact the carwash, but it has since been
closed down.
