Return To Sender

Is it just me or has the world gone crazy??!?!?!?

We just bought the boy a new bedroom set, he's been using the set my parents had from my younger brothers since the 1980's, so it was time he had his own. After much searching we found one that a) he likes b) we like c) fits in his room and d) does not break the bank. So we buy it and begin the much needed 'room clearing' and prepare for delivery. Now here is where it gets crazy. We get the call on Friday that the furniture will be delivered Monday:

Them: "Monday between noon and three."

Me: "Oh, we were told it would be in the morning.."

Them: "Who told you that?"

Me: "The salesman."

Them: "Well he can't do that, the computer tells us when it is scheduled"

Me: "We work in the afternoon, that is why we wanted AM delivery."

Them: "You could reschedule but we can't guarantee a time."

Me: "No just leave it for Monday and if we are here we are here"

Them: "Are you saying no one will be there, we can't have that."

Me: "No, I am saying I want the furniture I paid for and if we are not here on Monday then it is on the truck for Tuesday and so on until you come when we are here."

Them: "That is ridiculous sir"

Me: "So is the fact that you seem to believe that working people can just take off from work to sit in their homes for a 3 hour window at any time."

I'll let you know what happens.
