Re:stupid people
LoL, turbo-Dan is a good guy, he was just doing his job, (parts guy) which can be very frustrating, No big deal.
Anything pretty much goes in this forum, if you guys want to talk ----, hey that’s great, I really could careless. But disrespect me, or any of my ----.. well that’s another story
This forum has already developed a few retards I would like to get rid of.
I am going to be making a new set of rules for this board very soon.

Re:stupid people
I hate to say it, but your the stupid one. People come there for your help with this stuff, and you put them done because they don't know anything. That's why you work there. Your the one that wanted to learn about the stuff and help people get what their cars need. If you can't handle that maybe you should get a job bagging groceries.

Re:stupid people
I had a really disturbing experience working in a hardware store (plumbing department) in Houston TX. I'm a very polite person, especially at work. This old guy walked in and the conversation went out somewaht like this:
ME: Good morning sir, can I assist you with anything? HIM: Yes, I need to see if you have what I'm looking for?
(The old guy kept walking and I was walking beside him)
ME: Okay sir, what are you looking for?
HIM: A replacement hose for my sink.
(still walking)
ME: Do you have a flare or compression type?
HIM: Flare
(still walking)
ME: What size?
HIM: Flare
ME: Yes sir, but what size?
(He stopped walking....... I'm still walking)
........and this is what he said in front of a few co-workers and customers:
"CAN'T YOU UNDERSTAND FU&%ING ENGLISH, I SAID FLARE!!!!! LEARN FU$%ING ENGLISH BEFORE YOU START WORKING IN A PLACE LIKE THIS!!!!!"
I was stunned! Cuz, I do have an accent (I'm Filipino), not a very thick accent tho.
I looked over my shoulder and everybody is looking at me. I took a deep breath, then I said, "Sir, I'm just trying to help and I do understand english!!!" The store owner stepped-in before I could open my mouth some more. I do not know happened afterwards but the owner said he took care of it.....

Re:stupid people
its funny tho, like people will look at flyers and come in and ask why their brake pads are not worth $8.50 like it says in the flyer, and i have to point out that it says "$8.50 and up"
and this other guy came in and looked up at the flourescent lights on the ceiling and says to me:
"man thoes are bright, how do you look at thoes?"
ive got millions of stories.
none better than the 710 cap one though.
