Replying to: jasongauthier (Mar 04, 2008 9:02 am) After your experience with that dealership, I hope you don’t plan to do any more business with those clowns. The freebies from Nissan should be good at any Nissan store. If they aren’t, for me, this would be like being given a hammer and then being told you can’t use it. I do like your style though. For all we know you might be planning on using the freebies to obtain even more fun at that store. jmonroe

I was a very young Division Manager for a large Sears Auto Center. At the time, we had a very busy gas island and we sold a LOT of gas. Well, this was the late 70's and the gas crisis hit. Anyone remember the long lines, odd/even days and the 5 or 10 gallon limits? It wasn't a fun time to be sure. As a result, we had lines all the way down the street and it could take an hour or more to get to the pumps. Well, one day a lady cut right in front of a guy who had already waited an hour. Furious, he got out of his car but she had her window up and ignored him. At this point, we walked back to his car and removed the locking gas cap. After showing it to her, he installed it on HER car! He dangled the key in front of her and dropped it down the sewer drain. Now, THAT got her attention!! I got a panic call to get myself out there. An Army Drill Sergeant would have sounded like a choirboy compared to that woman! I had to call the police. Everyone else cheered as she was hauled into the back of the police car! Those weren't fun times. |

Replying to: jasongauthier (Mar 04, 2008 9:02 am)  But, seriously... you can't be serious? The key not included in the purchase price? Haha.... that's a good un. Did you check the truck to see if the engine was still in there? This certainly trumps bobst's famous key story.

Replying to: isellhondas (Mar 04, 2008 11:50 am) Back in the early '80s a couple of friends of mine(both female, very cute, and VERY wicked) and I were standing in line for Springsteen tickets. A big guy with no neck wearing an expensive cashmere coat cut in front of us. I told him that we were in line and he just said "So what?" and laughed. Both girls told me to just let it slide. At the time all three of us were smokers, and I soon noticed that Jan and Bev (not their real names) were taking their lit cigarettes and burning spots into No Neck's cashmere coat. This went on until we got to the ticket window. By that time the girls had tattooed the back of the coat with at least 50-60 burn marks. I was sure the guy would notice it but he never did. I wish I could have seen the look on his face when he finally discovered the damage... |
