Alright, I havent added to this one, But I did something stupid Yesterday.
At Work, Carpentry. Were were Cutting 2X6's I had a guy tell me what to measure and cut, well he gives me a measurement, 111 1/8 So I Measured and cut it. and he takes the 2X6 and Writes 11/8's on it, And I said, ****! I cut that at an 1/8 not 11/8's. We were Low on Lumber and Screwing up want an option. But anyway, after all the confusion, I figured out that he tried making the 1 on an 1/8 darker... Which was pretty stupid.

I went to Lowes today, and i was at the Customer Service desk talking to a friend, ordering some stuff for the house. and this guy comes in and says he Just bought a Generator from here(lowes) and he brought it up to his camp, it wouldnt Run. and he stated his kid was out toying with it and got it run. but it ran for like 10 minutes and now it cranks over hard. I guess i was nosey. I asked the guy if he brought the generator with him, and the Guy said, Yup its in the back of the pickup. i told my friend, i'd look at it. So we get out there and Right on top of the gas tank, in bold huge letters the motor is shipped without motor oil. with warning signs everywhere. however. The generator has a Low oil switch(which shuts the motor off if its low on oil) So I figured it did run so it must have oil in it, and how i saw the Warning crap, i figured the guy saw it too. until I saw this wire hanging. I checked the motor oil. and the Stick came out with half the stick. the other half was broke off, i looked in the oil hole and it was dry as hell. I showed the guy the oil stick and put it back in before i could say a thing, the guy says, Huh, I paid for the 4 year warranty, they should cover that since its broke and I didnt do it. I pointed at the sticker on the gas tank and the guy said yea, its got mixed gas in it. I stood there, and didnt know what to say. like 2 whole minutes staring at the thing, i said. huh, maybe its the spark plug. the guy said, you think? I dont know. and we walked back into lowes and i was horrified.. the guy bought a Spark plug.. I mean Holy Shi* How F***ing stupid are you? WTF man, people Pi$$ me off, how can somebody be that ignorant?

Yea that guys a ****** idiot. When I worked at advance auto parts this lady came up in a corsica askin for a oil drain plug for her car, she was like yea my husband changed my oil and lost the plug. This dumb *** drove the car 5 miles without a drop of oil in the thing. She got to the end of the huge parking lot since we were in a shopping plaza thing and it seized up on her we all were loosin it laughin.

omg i am rolling on the floor right now. people are so ******* stupid. i have a few stories to tell. so last night i went to cruise night in lansing. the cops had a lot of the side streets blocked off with those big yellow wooden things that say w/e on them. some guy in an s10 goes from a stop sign across the street and drives straight into one and slams on his brakes. the 4 cops standing there didnt know what to do b/c this guy was so stupid. hes like sorry and he starts backing up and drives away...wtf.
i work at oil express and we have to show all the customers their coolant, trans fluid, oil and w/e else. i get the coolant tester, put some coolant in it out of this ladys reservoir and show it to her. i said this is your engine coolant, its tested for about -35 degrees so it still tests okay but you have the long life antifreeze so it should be flushed like every 5 years meaning it was due last year. and shes like....so thats for my transmission??..i said no...paused and walked away. some other chick came in and we showed her a sample of her diff fluid. she was like whats that? kevin was like this is for your rear differential the thing between the two tires in the back that makes them spin....she was like i didnd't know that took fluid...are you just making this up?.....

Haha, I can only imagine the stories from Oil Express/Jiffy Lube type places, or even Advanced Auto type stores. I know people don't know cell phones too much, but I know people know a lot LESS about their cars. Keep 'em coming!

I stopped in time, but I thought he was gonna do somthing, never did haha.
