Losing your debit card and parking ticket at the airport. #-o

But thank the Lord for the freeze card option on the banking app.

once had 3am pickup for Manchester airport, 7 persons, 7 suitcases, 7 hand luggage, 2 child seats, baby stroller, pushchairs, etc, etc, etc.... booking was for 7 and 7 would have fitted "without the extras", chap asked me (at 3am, middle of nowhere)..........."have you got a trailer"...........ended up witha suitcase between the driver and front passenger seat and a very low riding transit Tourneo

day before they were due back they msg me "any chance of a trailer?" i said no, i got a mate with a Skoda Superb estate estate to collect JUST luggage + thier holiday purchases.... charged em double obviously

Or for long haul giving you the day they leave not the day they arrive back.

Happens at least once a year to me.

Quite costly for them.

If they pay because they usually argue that it is your mistake not theirs

It happened to me a few years back in my limo days. Fortunately we were paid up front. We also had booking forms that the chap had filled in whilst at my house. It still didn't stop him from trying to blame me and look big to his mates. I had a parking receipt for the 3 hours that I waited at Heathrow terminal 3 to prove that I was actually there. I sent him a copy of the booking form and the parking receipt and never heard another word from him.
