In case the above statement doesn't work Lisa, got any other suggestions on what to say since the synthetic was for the older kid who's coming over tomorrow for me to changer her oil? She liked the way the synthetic made her motor sound, and at $11/gallon I didn't mind. Now that it's no longer on sale, I've got a mind to tell her if she likes the synthetic so much just buy it herself and I'll change it for her. (Since I've already got the wife and other daughter pissed at me, I thought maybe I should ask some advice before I said anything to the last female not mad at me
)My first thought is, if she is an adult, with a job, then she should be buying all this stuff herself, $11 a gal or no. For you to want to do it for her is a nice gesture, but I don't think its fair to expect you to foot the bill (or get mad if you refuse)
I'd even go so far as to say that perhaps she needs to be shown how to change her oil. She can't use the "because I'm a girl" excuse....feel free to use me as an example.

First thing I'll ask, how old is she?

) She's also been laid off and not supposed to start a new job until next week. For the record, I don't buy the "I'm a girl I can't do this" crap. Certain little girls I know were forced to prove they could change their own oil, tires, drive a stick, etc. before they were allowed to even take the test for their license. I could share some stories about some very embarrassed boys in a small town in Texas who had flats changed by some girl when they didn't know how to do it themselves, but that doesn't change the fact that you skirted my question Lisa 
I've always said I don't mind changing the oil if they bought it and brought it to me. With one unemployed, I don't mind buying it too. She'll accept the fact she doesn't get synthetic, but she'll be secretly dissapointed (or at least she'll think it's a secret) I was just wondering if there was any way to be nicer about sharing the news.

She's a little older than you (which makes me a young buck right ) She's also been laid off and not supposed to start a new job until next week.

I would just tell her the truth...and that next time you change the oil maybe you can switch back over to syn if you can source some a good price.
If a woman truly has her mind set on something, she'll be disappointed if she doesn't get it, no matter how you relay the news.

Same here. I avoid Walmart as much as possible. I only go there when I absolutely have to.

The walmart's here might have a gallon or two of rotella on the shelf but thats it. Autozone always seems to have 4 or 5 gallons and at the same price or a few cents more. Gotta love how the DK comes at walmart though, the compact version.

Tell them to send it back or give you a discount on it if you want it. I always see the Lucas injector cleaner in the bigger bottle black or purpleish and tell them to send it back to the manufacturer and they just put it behind the counter.

I will never have to worry about going into Wal-Mart sense I got kicked out of there..
Damn those people there have no sense of humor at all..
My wife wanted me to try on some clothes there and out of protest I went and sat in the changing room for a while..
She yells at me and say are you done trying those on..
I yelled back ..(There is no toilet paper in here) 1/2 the people that heard me busted out laughing and the management escorted me right out of the place.
I thanked them for doing me a big favor
