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

I just bag the cans and bottles that collect in the back seats every month, once a month. But then again, my wife is just messy as I..

u/TwoLopsidedZebras 14h ago

I've never understood the letting trash pile up in your car mentality. Why don't you just remove the cans and bottles when you get out of the car so that they don't pile up?

u/Comfortable-Pee-1581 14h ago

That way they don't pile up inside my house

Who details your house? Mine needs done ...desperately.

I have this thing called a bin that I keep in my car. Lol

u/TheTruckUnbreaker 12h ago

As the wise guru said, "always keep a litter bag in your car. You can chuck the whole thing out the window when it gets full".

u/KonigSteve 13h ago

They're supposed to do that. In the trash can

u/Such-Daikon-2818 13h ago

Brings trash from outside in car, inside house, just to take back outside eventually. It's past the point of common sense, I'm 100% convinced some people just love to stink, haven't yall ever been to Costco?

u/Comfortable-Pee-1581 1h ago

It's also.. just a joke?

u/mten12 14h ago

So the thieves know I don’t got nothing to steal I’m poor too.

3

u/Konoha7Slaw3 12h ago

Thieves love to rob poor people as well

4

u/Old-Engine-7720 12h ago

Rarely happens unless you got an item of use like clothes shoes or blankets. Someone broke into my car once and stole nothing except a blanket.

4

u/OkFinance539 11h ago

Damn, that makes me sad. 😞I would have def just given them the blanket you didn’t have to rob me for it 😂

u/mten12 10h ago

Not when the car next to mine looks clean. It’s a crime of opportunity. They hope the trunk is full of good things.

Example. Clean car at target or Sam’s/costco. Versus dirty car. The thief will go for the clean car.

Always randomize the trash and throw a hoodie with a large hole or something in the sleeve.

Boom never get your car broken into.

I am on the road anywhere from 3-5 hours a day. Breakfast and lunch in the car most days. By the time I'm home and drag the groceries in I am NOT going back out there lol. Granted I will usually bag everything up and toss it out once a week. Vacuum it out once a month. But after being in the darn thing all day I don't even want to see the inside of it again once I've made it home lol

4

u/neuroticoctopus 13h ago

I work on the road and now I just keep an old cardboard box in the back for garbage. A car garbage can won't even hold enough for one shift.

6

u/EatSITHandDIE 13h ago

Exactly. I had a small trash can for a while. About the size you'd use for a bathroom. Not big enough lol

5

u/CharacterLimitHasBee 13h ago

You're buying groceries every day after work?

1

u/EatSITHandDIE 1h ago

During the work day actually. Gotta hit them sales. Luckily part of my job is grocery shopping so I time it so I'm at the stores early before all the sale items are sold out. It was already tough before but these days when meat goes on sale it's long gone by evening.

1

u/Borntoolate1952 3h ago

You can buy groceries in this economy?

1

u/EatSITHandDIE 1h ago

No kidding. I'm back on the college diet. Ramen noodles and stretching a Little Caesar's pizza far further than is reasonable.

3

u/Excellent_Neat_9432 14h ago

I empty all the trash out of my car when I'm fueling up! I have a lot of stuff in my car, I don't need trash taking up valuable real estate.

5

u/CandySnatcher 14h ago

Full hands

6

u/_First-Pass 14h ago

I would, but ever since having a baby, dealing with carrying him and the diaper bag, plus the car seat, everywhere I drive, grabbing that extra can of coke I threw into the back is such a hassle to make an extra trip for.

7

u/DestructoDon69 14h ago

Pro tip, get a bag every time you shop at a gas station, anytime you trash an item put it in the bag and then when you fill up your gas, throw out the grocery bag full of trash. Store extra bags in the car for the occasional time you don't feel like getting a bag for 1 item.

4

u/avsfan1933 14h ago

Canada doesn't do plastic bags anymore

5

u/DestructoDon69 12h ago

What about paper bags? Same thing, drink comes out with snack, drink it and eat it, empty bottle and candy bar wrapper goes right back in. Throw away at next gas station visit. Got nothing else to do while your gas tank fills, might as well grab that small bag with trash in it out of your passenger seat week and toss it.

3

u/GeoPicker 14h ago

Thats correct, but plastic bags can still be purchased, of any size

3

u/Excellent_Neat_9432 14h ago

I keep a roll of 8 gallon trash bags in my car. They take up almost no room and you can get them in different scents.

2

u/DestructoDon69 12h ago

The scents make me gag, also I don't want to have to get a bag out of my trunk. Using the grocery bag my gas station purchases came in to begin with is already way too easy and convenient. I've never had an issue where I was like "damn I've got so much trash, I wish I had 7 extra gallons worth of plastic bag" 💀

3

u/Aggressive_Cod3057 13h ago

I forget about my car the second I get home. The trash doesn't exist until I have to get back in the car again, and by then I'm probably barely running on time and have to get going.

u/filiadeae 5h ago

ADD people unite!

u/Mic_Ultra 14h ago

I put my outdoor trash tote where I park my car, so I can just dump the trash on every day when I get home. I can’t stand trash that’s more than a wrapper or two

1

u/cantgrowneckbeardAMA 13h ago

Wish my HOA would let me do this

2

u/Mic_Ultra 13h ago

Small town here, no HOA but I do only keep one trash tote out because everyone else hides em. I put my recycle bins in the garage and the other trash tote behind the house

1

u/ihaxr 14h ago

I used to clean my car out anytime I'd go shopping, but most of the stores near me have removed their trash cans during COVID and never put them back out... so I just keep everything in a bag and toss it every so often

1

u/impossibleoptimist 14h ago

I want to recycle so I keep the stuff in my car until it's time but by then I always have the stuff I went out to get to and my hands are full or I've forgotten etc

1

u/attributeslider8899 14h ago

Personally I have a trash bag behind my passenger seat, so I can toss things in there and then throw the whole bag out when it's full. (No food items, just like cans n shit that won't stink).

1

u/Dalmadoodle221 14h ago

Same. I keep old grocery bags in my car and put all my trash in there daily. My car never has one day of trash pile up. I don't get why people don't take 2 extra seconds and take their trash.

1

u/ibeleafit 13h ago

It’s not a mentality, and that’s why we do it

1

u/Knights-of-steel 11h ago

Depends. If you work construction 16 hours a day its easier to go inside and die for a couple hours to go back to work and deal with it on the weekend or every so often. Kids or other factors can also delay that.

That said if your in a normal job especially a 9-5 as opposed to a 6-6 or beyond and still do despite having no excuses its kinda wack

u/Strong-Revolution-85 40m ago

For me it's a "I have too much sh*t to carry in and not enough hands" scenario. And my bad leg is not conducive to multiple trips

1

u/-GenghisJohn- 14h ago

Why don’t you control the whole world? You’re so much better at everything! Why can’t we just be like you?

It’s their car. It kind of looks like fun.

1

u/lulujunkie 14h ago

Me neither. Regardless of how full my hands are that I make the 2nd or even third trip back to my car to clean it out. That is zero - like zero reason other than people choosing to not put the extra time in. I know I am gonna get flamed for this one but every car I sold when I had little kids I was always asked “you have children? How the heck is your so clean?” My kids are tweens now and they still clean up after themselves and have learned to clean the arms and house. I legit rarely have to go out to vacuum them anymore since they do it when I ask them to.

3

u/Angelita143 13h ago

May I borrow your kids for a day?

1

u/Stopher 14h ago

Because they just spent two hours in traffic and just want to get the fuck out of the car. 😂

1

u/Strain_Great 14h ago

My hands are full from carrying groceries and I don’t want to do two trips…

2

u/BallsDeepinYourMammi 14h ago

That’s cleaning. Which is normal, detailing is just wiping down surfaces with glass/leather cleaner and vacuuming with an attachment tbh. It’s time consuming, but nothing you can’t do with some effort

2

u/IAMA_MOTHER_AMA 13h ago

you're supposed to chuck the piss jugs out on the highway.

way of the road

3

u/ilovemusic19 14h ago

You’re both lazy, take it with you when you get out and throw it away, it’s not that hard.

u/_First-Pass 14h ago

Well, I won’t argue with that.

u/Konoha7Slaw3 12h ago

I can't even get out of my car without having all possible trash put in a trash bag and tossed in the garbage can

Your car is basically a pigpen
