Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t put things of a personal nature under the hood of my car. Like ya know my undies, drugs or a personal diary. Maybe a dead possum that I’m radiator cooking while on the road, but not much more than that. You do understand that when you give the keys to somebody, you’re kind of relenquishing control of your personal space for better or for worse. Just a suggestion, don’t valet park if you’ve got the proverbial body in the trunk. Oh and yeah it would be nice if hired folks kept to their business while in your house, but I wouldn’t bet on it if I was trying to hide something. A word to the wise; the help know everything about you. Watch a bit of upstairs/downstairs on the beeb.

Indeed.

Sometimes I must look for a car when the customer loses their ticket, and therefore must see if the liscence (on their person ) and registration (in the glovebox) match…and I let the customer open their own glovebox to show me so I don’t go rooting around their private stuff.

I’m a girl, and I’m going to reiterate the statement of whoever said it was a guy thing.

If I had THAT car? I wouldn’t be troubled if I came down to grab something from the car and saw the valet ogling the engine. I’d probably laugh my ass off and talk cars for a minute before going back upstairs.

I look forward to your next installment!
