  • Try to do someone a favor...

    And this is what you get.

    Today at work Mr. Bossman comes out into the shop to ask for a favor from one of us. A lady had bought a vehicle from the dealership a few days ago and she was currently stuck on the loop with a flat tire. Mr. Bossman wanted one of us to go out and help her, but it wasn't a 'I'm gonna tell you to do this and you have to do this cuz I say so' kinda deal. Since this isn't really in any of our job descriptions I being the only hourly mech. working there, was the only person who would've been payed for doing this. So I went.

    Turns out this lady was stuck on the north side of town and I work on the south side of town. I had to drive the whole way around the loop to find her. So I get there, park behind her, toss my little orange safety cone where it's visible and grab my tools out of my trunk. I walk up to her window and knock on it and I get this in response.

    SFW: Stupid Fuh... "Flat tire" Woman
    Me: I be teh awesomez

    SFW: s'Bout F*CKIN TIME you got here!
    MeWTF Way to greet someone who doesn't even have to be here helping you out!) I apologize that it took me so long to get here ma'am. If you don't mind poppin' your trunk so I can get to your spare tire and your jack I'll go ahead and get started.
    SFW: I don't f*ckin want you goin through my f*ckin trunk a*shole. Why didn't you f*ckin bring a new f*ckin tire to put on my car!
    Me: We would have to order you a new tire to put on your car and you'ld have to bring your car into the dealership to get that done. There's no way I could do something like that out here.
    SFW: What the f*ck ever. Just don't look at the sh*t I have in my trunk.
    Me:...

    She opens the trunk, all I see in it is a thong and two shirts. Using my needle nose pliers I move said undergarments out of the way and take her spare and her screw jack out and begin to place them and lift the car. As soon as she notices what I'm doing she gets out of her car and yells at me.

    SFW: WHAT THE F*CK ARE YOU DOING TO MY CAR A*SHOLE!!
    Me: (I'm really getting tired of this by now) I'm rasing your car off the ground so I can remove your wheel and put the spare on.
    SFW: You don't need to do that I have a fucking flat tire not a flat wheel dumb*ss!

    That was the last straw. She had no reason to be cussing at me this way. I spoke up.

    Me: Ma'am, I'm out here to do you a favor, my boss told us that we don't have to do this, but I'm a nice guy so I figured I'd come out and help you. But if all you're going to do is berate and cuss me then I'm going to leave.
    SFW: You can't f*cking do that! I paid fifty thousand dollars for this car, you wouldn't have a f*cking job if it weren't for me you dumb little redneck piece of sh*t!
    Me: You know what b*tch? Call f*cking triple A or change this your own dumb*ss self. I'm leaving!

    And I gathered up my stuff and left. When I got back to work I told my boss what happened and he told me that he had just got off the phone with her. She had wanted me fired, but he had told her that if he fired me she would have to do my job and to find another place to get her car serviced because we wouldn't do it.

    My boss is cool.

    What the hell does she think the tire is? Does she not realize that's the part of the wheel that touches the ground?! How does she expect you to change it if you don't raise if off the ground?

      You were more patient than I would have been. At the 1st sign of suck, which I have in quotes, I would have said nothing, turned around, got back into my vehicle and drove off.

      You are a saint or just a glutton for punishment my friend.

        Honestly, I'm still not sure of that myself. If she hadn't been such a jerk I would have been flabbergasted at that comment. As it was though I was just too pissed off.


        I must be a saint cuz I'm not a glutten for punishment thats for sure.

          you know... even little ole me who can't even change his oil without causing irreparable damage to his car... for that matter about the only routine stuff I can do is fill the tank and check tire pressure... even I know that to change a tire you have to lift the car.
          (acutally on a side note, i do now know how to change a tire... I had a crash course replacing my tire after it blew out a few weeks ago... the pictures in my owners manual were most helpful.)
