Bo but it's spelled all gaytastic. Beax or something like that. Doug also seems to think he built both of Jon's Supras. Gil is pretty cool, Praether is kinda full of himself but he's pretty cool too. I've known him for a long time.

What I love is when people come in to buy parts and have no fucking idea what they need, want or drive. Then get mad when you don't know what to sell them. I know what you need it's you that has no fucking idea what you need.

Yes there are stupid counter people, but there are just as many, if not more stupid customers. You have no idea the amount of morons I deal with on a daily basis. I can't even begin to explain it. I could go on and on about the window lickers I have to deal with all the time, but I won't because I don't feel the need to make stupid threads calling people morons.

These topics always come up about all the morons that sell parts, not everyone who sells parts is a moron. If you think that way and treat them all like they are retarded then you are worse then them. If someone treats me like I don't know anything I will just get mad, won't spend anytime helping you find what you need and you'll end up paying more.

I walked into my neighborhood Autozone one day because I need rod bearings for my 1989 Mazda RX7 GL.







It took him 15 minutes to tell me that they can't find them in the system.

It took me 15 minutes to stop ROFL-ing on the way back home.

yep if you want a goood 30 mins of fun go into auto zone and order a head gasket kit for your rx7:biglaugh: and when they say they cant find one get pissed and ask for the manager and demand why they dont carry your part!:biglaugh:

Because it's far too easy to misinterpret even a perfectly constructed sentence considering the vagaries of the English language and when someone posts a question they expect to be answered correctly it's damn near impossible if it's full of errors and gobbledegook.
Exactly. FYI, when people ask questions but cannot be bothered to use English, I ignore them if they are lucky. If I'm feeling mean, I mock them. Rarely do I tell them anything useful.

Look at it this way. Would you go out of your way to help the illegal alien who refuses to even bother learning English?

I deal with many different nationalities so have learnt to decipher most things and eventually get the right information out but some of the native English speakers here make my brain explode when trying to figure out just WTF they're talking about. (stupidly I still try but I'm fast running out of patience)
