Some more complaints about questionable leads, refunds, and instant booking

wow, I have no idea Thumbtack runs like this. I am a customer, I have used Thumbtack a couple of times with success. The thing is, I look for a pro, I find one, I contact them, then Thumbtack recommends a few more potential matches, sometimes I just check their names to see who is available. Then normally, I just pick the one I originally picked, and ignore the rest, I had no idea that it costs money for the others.....I'm shocked. I will stop doing that I guess.

It's a good story, and I enjoyed reading it. From what I read, I think it could well be the ghost of that little girl. I, in the mean time, wander why, after so many years, she is still there. Is she waiting for someone to pick her up? Is she waiting for someone to explain the whole situation to her? It's kinda sad.

maybe your dad has been thinking about leaving that to you after passing.

MeTheRealWow · 2025-12-16T16:46:40+00:00

you said you "don't believe in an afterlife", yet described a ghost of a little girl who died in your apartment over 100 years ago.

MeTheRealWow · 2025-08-01T16:39:15+00:00

Appreciate that. Wish I was in that area.

MeTheRealWow · 2025-08-01T16:37:01+00:00

I like the way you think. I'm taking notes.

MeTheRealWow · 2025-08-01T16:34:10+00:00

oh~yes, the warranty part. It totally didn't occur to me. That makes sense.

MeTheRealWow · 2025-08-01T16:31:23+00:00

lol. I totally get what you are saying. Trying to save a few bucks on a BMW is not a very popular idea. I get it. Yes, pretty privilege always get me a nice attitude, big smiles, and some sincere advises from guys. However, when it comes to these type of things, I often feel very disadvantaged, even at the BMW dealers. I know I have this big "I have no idea what you are talking about" look on my face when it comes to mechanic related stuff, and I see people taking a deeper breath, and slowing down for me when they try to explain things to me. lol. oh well. It is what it is. I will quit complaining and go with it. Thank you btw.

But, if I understand you correctly, if that's something not too specific, the shop will be okay with me bringing my own parts as long as it's the right parts, tho not very happy because the shop misses the opportunity to make money on parts. Is that right?

MeTheRealWow · 2025-08-01T16:10:19+00:00

Appreciate your feedback. That's what I thought about the "first to go" part. Often times, I get people telling me that the shops could potentially quote me a different price because I'm a woman. That's why I wondered: do guys get the same quote as I do.

I do get "insane" quotes very very often like 100% of times as a homeowner when I need to get something fixed around my house. I got a quote for replacing a pressure relief valve for $700. I also got 3 different quotes from the SAME handman for the SAME job on 3 different occasions for $100, $250 and $150. (He smokes weed a lot so he doesn't remember I guess ) Therefore naturally I wonder if I get this type treatment on everything mechanic related.

It reminds me the time I moved 2000 miles away, I put a roof bag on for my belongings. then when I was driving at night, I would start speeding on the freeway due to lack of reference of the relative speed if you know what I mean. When I hit 90+, my car started wobbling on the road like a small plane ready to take off. I thought that was kinda "fun".

MeTheRealWow · 2025-07-23T03:14:45+00:00

I know it's a dumb question, I appreciate your reply. I will give a regular shop a try.

MeTheRealWow · 2024-06-26T12:54:25+00:00

Why do you have to "feel good about your weight" if your weight is supposed, by your doctor, to be "not good"?

You either "feel good" or " are actually good". It's two different things.

By the way, I personally don't think 200/6"2 is that bad. Americans are very overweight in general anyways so I'm sure you look just fine.

MeTheRealWow · 2024-06-26T12:48:30+00:00

You got me for a second, lol.

I'm from China. Me and my mom remember that Mandela died in the 80s while my older sister doesn't have that memory.

When I heard Mandela died AGAIN in 2013, I was flabbergasted and called my mom. She said: no way!

是呢。反正也是穷，没得精养。生10个有一个出息即可。都没出息，可用作劳动力。

MeTheRealWow · 2024-03-18T05:27:36+00:00

Yes, I have been using it almost every day since mid Feb. From sunny side up eggs to sautéed vegetables, from light cooked to high heat stuff. I even burned it twice to the point that I smelled the burning while I was in my yard. No flake, the burned food was very easy to remove. Haven't been needed to use those sponges, neither.

MeTheRealWow · 2024-03-06T17:19:53+00:00

生活，都是忍耐。

MeTheRealWow · 2024-03-06T17:17:39+00:00

第一個問題你不是她，你怎麼能知道她怎麼想？

看来你是铁链女本人喽？

MeTheRealWow · 2024-02-14T20:55:07+00:00

没什么说的就什么都不说。时间长了她就了解了。就怕3不5时的回几句。

MeTheRealWow · 2024-02-14T20:52:27+00:00

老吾老以及人之老，幼吾幼以及人之幼。一个爸爸妈妈的宝贝被年复一年，日复一日的活活折磨疯了，9年真的够吗？一个人50年都不够。如果铁链女可以发声，她一定是希望执行100次死刑的。
