What were your best and worst consumer experiences this week?

Which consumer happenings cheered you this week and which ones made you want to scream or weep?

Here are my best and worst consumer experiences this week:

My best: Winning the arbitration for my roof

The arbitrator gave his decision. He found in my favor regarding my lawsuit on a failed metal shingle roof. In addition to the labor costs to replace the roof, I received attorney’s fees, costs, and interest.

I’m glad this is over. It’s been stressful, and I’ve paid a lot in attorney’s fees.

It’s been quite a consumer experience. I could write a book, which I may do.

My worst: Getting the wrong order at McDonald’s

After the arbitrator’s decision, I had three days to present an affidavit about my attorney’s fees and costs.

Since I was busy pulling information together and working with my attorney the timing for her to get an affidavit done related to her costs, I missed lunch.

After physical therapy, I stopped at McDonald’s to get a fish sandwich. I went to my attorney’s office to wait for her to complete her work. My plan was to eat the fish sandwich in my car. When I opened my order, instead of a fish sandwich, it was a Mac double cheese.

I ate it due to the time crunch. It wasn’t that tasty.

I bet the person who got my order was surprised.
