I went to Rent-a-Crock on Friday, thinking I would just pony up $60 to rent one of theirs for 2 weeks while waiting. ($27 + tax a week).
They wanted:
My empolyment history. No biggy, that's typical.
4-5 references - Seems a bit extreme, but I can use my relatives as (2) of them.
Social Security numbers, including my wife's - Sorry, mine, yeah, you can have, but my wife doesn't enter into this equation.
My wife's employment information - See above
What company is holding my mortgage on my house. - WTF? I'm renting a XBOX, not a $4,000 TV (which you've overpriced btw, I can buy it at Fry's for $2,000).
The account number for my mortgage. - Are you smoking crack? I don't even give that to my credit card companies. I'm not giving you my account number on my mortgage for a fucking Xbox!
So, I folded up the form I was filling out, put it in my pocket, and said, "Sorry", this isn't worth my time, or my information. I took the form because it already was half-filled out and I wasn't going to leave any of the information with them, so I took it home to shred.
Well, options are getting slim. I may have to resort to taking the Circuit City route.
*sigh*
