Id10T Call # 273 – almost placed by yours truly to Kia Service Department

Hello?  I purchased this #!@#$ vehicle in November, and already my rear passenger door won’t open from the inside.

--------------------------------------------------

[Enter] Maria del Pilar Obrien-Pitt-Sambora:  “does your car have child lock?”

Id10T—that’d be me:   “no”

MDPOPS:  “are you sure?”

Id10T:  [how dare she ask me what I know/don’t know about my own car] “yes, I’m sure, I can’t see/find the buttons for it on my door’s panel”

MDPOPS:  “Have you checked the door itself?”

Id10T:  “uhm . . .for what?  No, of course not.”

MDPOS:  “sometimes the child lock is right on the door” [as she opens the door, spots the lock, points it out to me and slides it to the unlock position]

Id10T:  “Uh . . . duh!”

I wondered how many childless peeps have had similar experience; and silently hoped it’s not just me. 

Oh, it’s good to have friends with children.  She saved me an argument with Kia’s Service Department . . . and stole their moment of glory cuz you know they’d share my ID10T moment w/others.
