Oh, got, this makes my brain hurt really bad.
We had a guy come in with his group of inbreeds to have a truck repaired. No need for the repair at all. He just needed some new suspension pins, which I sold him. But his buddy was jonesing for an electric truck. But he didn't have the money. So the conversation goes something like this.
Me= local hobby asshole
L= Leader (a real stand-up guy and good customer. No kidding. This is a nice guy)
T= Tagalong (didn't want to be here. Thinks that R/C trucks are kinda dumb. Would rather pay his bills)
C= Cell Phone Guy (Mr. I can handle three conversations at once)
E= Engine guy (needs a new engine. Hasn't the money to purchase it)
W= Guy who wants to buy the electric (Whuuuuuh?)
W: *drops electric truck on table* how much dis?
Me: *points to price tag* 179.99 plus tax.
W: Whuuuuh? Come with everything?
Me: No, it needs a 7.2 volt battery and charger.
W: Whuuuuuh? (I think he's actually saying a long, slurred-out version of "what," but I'm not sure) How much dat?"
Me: a 3000mah NiMH battery will be about $25. That will give you pretty decent performance. A charger to charge the battery will be...
L: He can use my charger. I got a charger that will take NiMH
W: Whuuuuuh?
L: Yeah, man, you can use my charger.
W: Whuuuuuuh? Okay. Who's gonna loan me the money til tomorrow? Hey L, loan me the money til tomorrow.
L: Nah, can't do that. My wife would shoot me.
W: Whuuuuuuh? Hey T, loan me the money til tomorrow.
T: Man, I got bills to pay. This money's gotta go home.
W: Whuuuuuuh? Whuuuuuuh? Man, who gonna loan me the money just til tomorrow.
E: I ain't got the money to loan you. I gotta buy a new motor to get mine running.
W: Whuuuuuuh? Man, whuuuuuuh? Hey, C, you got any money you can loan me til tomorrow?
C: Man, you wouldn't pay me back if I did.
W: Whuuuuuuh? Awright, fine. Get me a good battery and some AA's.
Me: Okay, sure. *get's the requested items.*
W: What's it come to?
Me: $230.01
W: Whuuuuuh? What if I break this truck? You got parts?
Me: Uses the same parts as the nitro version.
W: Whuuuuuh? Okay. Let's do it! *hands me a grubby card. It declines* Whuuuuuh? I have the money!
C: Man, I told you you couldn't get it.
W: Whuuuuuh, Whuuuuuh?... whuuuuuh? Hey, L, loan me the money man. Just til tomorrow.
L: Are you gonna have it tomorrow?
W: Whuuuuuh? Yeah, I'm gonna have it.
L: *considers it a few moments* Okay, here. *hands me his card*
E: Man, W, you need to be thanking L
W: Whuuuuuuh?
C: Yeah, he's gonna get in trouble at home. You watch, his wife gonna be like "L, you go buy another truck?"
W: Whuuuuuh? Well, thanks L.
After a few more rounds of teasing, they leave. But his catchphrase was really grating. He sounded like he'd suffered a good clock to the head with a 2X4. Daily. Since he was 5.
