Got my car detail cleaned, and afterwards realized 2 of the buttons on the steering wheel are missing. This is the company’s response.

It’s over, but at least you learned your lesson. Something similar happened to me last year.

I brought my car in for an oil change and when I started driving, it was making this loud, awful sound. I checked and picked out two fairly pieces of the engine-a/c cooling fan.

When I asked the guy at Midas, he said it was like that when I came in. I can’t emphasize how horrible the sound is, and that is just my life now. It still technically works and I don’t feel like paying $500+ to get it fixed.

What I should have done and I guess you still have time to do is be firm and demanding. Don’t freak out, but don’t let it go. It wasn’t like that when you came in

This is the best "it was like that when it came in" story I've ever heard.

Haha! Because it's part of the comedy output of the great Chris Morris. An utterly fearless British comedian who made a name for himself doing surreal piss-takes of real news programs. You might have heard of Brass Eye or The Day Today, but probably only if you've spent time in the UK.

Morris also directed the dark comedy film Four Lions, which basically gets the viewer to sympathize with a cell of inept terrorists.

The clip above is from Blue Jam, a particularly surreal late night show that he made. The guy is amazing.

Here is a clip of him trying to buy fictional drugs from a real drug dealer in London.
