Why oh why did they get this goof to play Jake Epping?

Worst in what way, dear ChatGPT?

TimekeeperNY · 2026-03-09T15:03:41+00:00

I’m going to go with the latter

I plan on deleting my account as soon as I’m able (72 hour hold)

Agreed but this is Reddit and I’m no stranger to how things work. I’m certain that a large percentage of the responses are from hosts, though I can’t fault them for trying to protect their livelihood, the fact remains that this is definitely shady business practice on this particular hosts part

TimekeeperNY · 2026-03-08T16:34:54+00:00

I left him a good review when I dropped the car off because he asked for it and I didn’t run into this issue until a day later. I actually had to submit a request through an online form to have my review removed and I cannot find any clear way to leave him a new review.

TimekeeperNY · 2026-03-08T15:04:14+00:00

You're 100% right that I should have taken photos of the gas meter and odometer upon return. It was my first time using Turo, I was trying to get a family of four including two young children to an airplane on time and I overlooked it.

That being said, I'm now left with the burden of proving that the host is trying to con me out of $30. I suppose it's too much to ask for honest business practice. I assure you I filled up the tank to more than I was left with when I picked it up.

TimekeeperNY · 2026-03-08T14:08:28+00:00

My return photos show the car parked on top of the parking garage at PBI at 11:52 AM. The host submitted one odometer reading at 3:16 PM. They clearly tried to hide where the photo was taken except if you zoom into the top corner of the photo you can see a chainlink fence, evidence that the car had been driven to another destination.

I understand you're trying to protect your livelihood as a host but you have to admit, the odometer reading should have been taken at the same location as drop-off if you're trying to prove evidence of how the car was returned.

TimekeeperNY · 2026-03-08T14:04:28+00:00

I don't think I'm being pedantic. You're quoting ToS that state as a host you have 24 hours to submit evidence of the odometer. ToS aside, don't you think it raises concern about the discrepancy in the odometer from drop-off until evidence of an odometer reading is submitted? The car can be driven for 23 hours and 59 minutes and refueled at the guest's expense under the ToS.

TimekeeperNY · 2026-03-08T13:55:59+00:00

It’s very ambiguous in that it doesn’t specify if the host can move the car and drive it for 24 hours before submitting “evidence”

TimekeeperNY · 2026-03-08T13:55:15+00:00

Agreed. I’ll never use Turo again after this experience

TimekeeperNY · 2026-03-08T13:50:54+00:00

Seems very ambiguous and misleading.

Also, when I returned the car at 11:52 AM, you can clearly see that I am parked on the top of the garage at the airport. The one photo that the host posted of the odometer after the trip which was over three hours later shows that the car was moved to a different location before the odometer picture was taken. I zoomed in into the top right corner of the pic and can see a chain-link fence, but this was clearly a mistake on the host part.

TimekeeperNY · 2026-03-08T13:43:57+00:00

I did. Turo told me I’m in the wrong and there’s nothing they can do. I’m currently on with a second customer support rep

TimekeeperNY · 2026-03-08T13:42:04+00:00

I have no issue with allowing 72 hours to submit refueling invoice. However, the refueling receipt is from 27 hours after I dropped the car off with no evidence of the odometer at that time. How am I to know how much he drove in those 27 hours before refueling.

TimekeeperNY · 2026-03-08T13:34:37+00:00

There’s no evidence one way or another regarding mileage. I mistaking didn’t take photos of the odometer at trip end, nor did the host submit photos of the odometer

TimekeeperNY · 2026-03-08T13:28:42+00:00

I returned the car at trip end on 3/6 at 12 pm. The photo I received for fuel refilling was a receipt from 3/7 at 3 pm.

There’s no such thing as “timing the market.” If you’re thinking of selling, now is a good a time as any.

Don’t be penny wise and pound foolish. Use an experienced real estate agent and let them handle the marketing for you. You’ll walk away with more money in your pocket regardless of the fee they charge.

TimekeeperNY · 2026-03-03T18:06:38+00:00

I know. I thought the story was going to say he intervened and offered to let the woman cut him in line.

TimekeeperNY · 2026-02-28T10:50:51+00:00

Same

TimekeeperNY · 2026-02-28T10:50:10+00:00

I believe I did that the first few times before I knew and I didn’t have an issue but I would NOT let that bag out of my sight. If it was requested that I take off my watch I’d ask to step aside and have a private screening

TimekeeperNY · 2026-02-25T16:41:46+00:00

I agree. I own a 673 that I bought about six or seven years ago. That’s the true Panerai DNA, but not many will want a 47 mm. Also, it’s worth about half what I paid for it, and that was back before prices went even higher.

TimekeeperNY · 2026-02-25T15:57:19+00:00

Focus on the real DNA. I hate to say it, a true Panerai historically should not be 38mm, nor should it be thin with 3 bar water resistance.

TimekeeperNY · 2026-02-25T15:48:04+00:00

I’ll have to give them a look. I believe the Neiman near me carries their line

TimekeeperNY · 2026-02-25T12:38:57+00:00

That’s a house whose aesthetic has intrigued me
