Thread: so aggravated.

There's people like that all over the world.
We have one locally.
Some years back we needed work done on our daily driver.
So it went to him.
Our daughter's car was booked in the next day for some major suspension work, and knowing the parlous state of her finances I told him to add it to my account.
To say I was surprised when I got the account would be an understatement.
Bearing in mind he's a one-man-band, over five days he managed to wring a total of eighteen hours work out each day...ninety hours in all on the two cars.
We have never been back.

What does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and yet loses the value of his soul?

thanks john. i know what you mean about being overcharged. but thank goodness not from any one local just on ebay. and you are so right about losing you soul. i do not think that alot of people these days have a conscience any more. robin i am looking long and hard and already dreaming about what i want my next car to look like. now to just find the money to do it after the monte is done

A Coronet with push button drive and a 440.Woo-Woo.Too cool for words.

Ya know Barb I just had a thought for you.Guys like that in a small town get to a age for the rest home and can't figure out why no one will play cards with them.LOL.You see,they DO get theirs in the end.

Sometimes ya just gotta vent!! (Although that menstrual thing might border on TMI). When I had my shop I was often surprised, though pleased as well, how many women customers said they appreciated doing business with folks who treated them well. But, come to think of it, quite a few men expressed the same feelings.

Here's an idea for ya Barb...........have a T shirt made with thiis on it, might make a difference in how they deal with you.................

Gezz Uncle Bob.Not to turn this into a political thread of nothing,but did you have to send away to a Third World country to get that??.

Ya know they do kind of do that kind of thing there for reasons we don't understand.

I think you're onto something, Bob, and somehow I can imagine Barb getting a shirt like that and making it her normal "parts shopping" attire
Got to add, when I was in the USN I had an aquaintence (friend is too strong) that worked in a local gas station evenings, and he had the gift of gab and persona that was often attractive to the girls, for a while.... Late one afternoon an attractive gal pulled in driving a nice little Corvair, and as he checked under the hood he told her that her radiator cap was bad, really needed to be changed and was "....only about $3". She told him to go ahead and put a new one on, and he was quite pleased with himself, pocketing the extra $3. A couple of hours later his smile dimmed as that same Corvair pulled up to the pump island and a guy that looked like a pro linebacker got out. "You sold my wife a radiator cap, and I don't believe that her old one was bad.", he said. "I'd like to return it, if that works for you?" The guy sheepishly pulled out his wad of bills, peeled off the $3, and handed it to the husband (who towered above him by about a foot), and said, "I was really just kidding mister, and didn't think she would fall for that old line. I didn't mean any harm...." Should'a got hit, but the big guy just took the money, got in his car and said, "I don't want to ever come back here again."

uncle bob that t shirt is a good idea. gary since the guy and i are about the same age we should end up in a nursing home together. that is when i will take my v-8 powered wheel chair and run his butt over.

now that is a good story roger.

pat i would love to meet your sister. sounds like one hell of a woman. ntf i love to see the women kick ass and take names. i have a metal sign in my garage of shirley. she has been my hero since i was young.
