plonq: (Mediocre mood)
I am not a HAPPYCAMPER™ this morning.  We got a couple centimetres of fresh snow on ice during the night, and halfway to work one of the rear callipers on my car seized up, making driving a really interesting experience.  I'm pretty sure that it's the same calliper that I had replaced just before our trip to Chicago last month.

Even if that's not the case, I'm still not a HAPPYCAMPER™ because they said that they checked them all out while I was in there, and they gave my brakes a clean bill of health aside from that one calliper. Depending how they resolve it for me, I may have to move on to being an UNHAPPYCUSTOMER™.  I'm not going to jump the gun on the latter though because this mechanic has been very honest in all dealings so far.

I'm gonna call them this morning and bitch.  I may just snivel and grouse too while I'm at it - depends if I have a second cup of coffee between now and then.

I called the mechanic, and it's definitely the other side that's seized up now, though it could be a cable rather than the calliper itself.  I'll crawl under there when I get off work today and see if I can knock it loose for the trip home.  Grrr.  This is going to be an expense that we didn't need just now.
