I just installed something for guys like that...

 

Conversation I had with a customer last month:
CUST: My sunroof would not close yesterday and got the inside of my car all wet and now my radio doesn't work.
ME: Sunroof seems to work now. When did it rain yesterday?
CUST: It got wet when I went through the car wash.
ME: Let me get this straight-your sunroof would not close and you took your car through a car wash, correct?
CUST: Yes
ME: And you want me to repair that under warrenty, correct?
CUST: Yes
The remainder of the conversation is not fit for this forum.........

 

Seems to me he wanted to test if it didnt close, or just appeared not to close

 

My story is of a kid at the car wash.... There was some bird crap on the side of my truck. The kid was doing the pre wash, and couldn't get the stuff off the side with the brush. His bright idea? He turned the brush around and started to scrub it with the metal end. I rolled down my window and yelled at him to stop and asked, "what the hell are you doing???". He replied, "oh, there's some bird crap that won't come off your truck.". No need to tell everything I said....other than to clearly point out he was scratching my truck and he was putting himself in immediate danger....

 

A couple months ago, I had this little stupid idiot in his rice burner honda car, big muffler, talking on his phone, come right up on my bumper while I was driving 55 mph on Winchester Road. He stays there for maybe 30 seconds, punches it across double yellow lines and passes me and then relizes I was following a California Highway Patrolman. The cop hit the lights, pulled off to the right, and then got back on the road behind me with the lights just a going and then passes me and nails the rice burner idiot. I would have loved to hear what that cop had to say!

 

'Tis true. The phrase "The gene pool could use a little chlorine" has never rung more true.

 

That is definately a "Here's your sign" moment.

 

I used to have similar stickers with mickey mouse stating "I hope you don't F--- like you park, you'll never get it in". Good for placing on vehicles that couldn't park worth a darn.

 

Tacswa3, I have a box full of these business cards with this same Mickey Mouse! One day I will hang around long enough to see the reaction from the people who's car I've left them on.

 

Awesome stories!
Well lets start this by saying I live in Jersey...yea yea I know...refineries, Sopranos, and Snooki(nice rack though). Anyway, my Dad and I are driving home after a morning hunt in the Northwestern part of the state where the highway is one lane in each direction with periodic uphill passing lanes. At the first passing lane I move over to let an impatient, tailgating ******* pass...he in turn rides this other guys bumper for the length of the passing zone. Now the fun begins....they take turns tailgating and slamming on the brakes to each other. This goes on for about 10 miles. I somehow get past them and on to the upcoming traffic light. At the light they pull up along side of me with the instigator pulling up last. The first cars driver gets out of his car, runs back to the instigator, pulls him by the arm almost through the window and starts pummeling the guy. I can't say he didn't deserve it!

 

Gascan,

We are de-evolving with all the caution signs, fail-safes, litigation lawyers, social programs...in the past these "Stupid" people were "culled" out of the herd!

Well said! Sign me up when the "culling" begins

 

On my way into work this morning I was traveling at about 45 in a 55 zone on because of high wind and lots of black ice from last night. I left for work about an hour early so I did not have to deal with morons on the ice. Well, even with my attempt to beat them out I had one come up on me, fast. I held my speed and he was so close i could just see the glow of his headlights around the back of the truck no matter what mirror i used. I started to cautiously slow down and allow him to pass me at a safe speed, but he was too impatient. He hammered it past me, his rear end went left, right, left and nose into the deep ditch. I pulled over, asked him if he was ok and then asked him WTF he thought he was doing, he could have hurt us both very bad. He asked me to pull him out and I refused. Too dang windy and cold for me, plus with the ice there was no traction to be had. I told him I would give him a ride to the nearest gas station. He said he wanted to go home. I informed him that his home was not on my way so if he wanted to get anywhere he would come with me to the gas station. He decided that was the best plan and I gave him the number of a towing company my buddy works for. Sent a text to my friend to see if he called. No dice yet.

Nice story KJG20036.0 - I am surprised he didn't try to blame you for is situation.

Yeah, no kidding. Seems to be that way anymore. "If you wouldn't have blah blah blah" He was just a college kid heading to school. He was nice enough and seemed to be somewhat bright when i talked to him. I think that he was a little shaken up, not in the mood to be playing to the blame game. If he would have started spouting off about how it was my fault when I checked on him I would have gladly left him once I knew he was uninjured.
