#7 the joke would be on the person who did that to my truck. My tinnitus is too bad for me to hear it. #8 I have to remember for the next time somebody asks me to do something ASAP to fix something they screwed up. #18 don't forget engine size along with all of the other irrelevant questions.
My Wife and I have had cats for 50+ years. As our older ones dies, we decided that at our age, we would not get kittens or young cats. Instead, we have adopted several cats that are 10 yrs plus. We do not want our cats to outlive us, with an uncertain future about care
I went in to a famous tire shop to get a tube for my wheelbarrow. They wanted my email address for an account. Then they started spamming me. Never dealt with them again.
I have 2 emails, one for anybody that wants it for an account and one for personal correspondence. I check the accounts email address maybe once a month and 99% of it is spam, the other 1% is for deals and discounts.
I needed a replacement for a failed brake light bulb. I removed the bulb, put it in my pocket, and when the counter person asked for details about the car, I furrowed my brow, stared at him with an absolutely straight face for a short time, and then said it was blue. I let the look of horror on his face go on for a while then I handed him the bulb and said, just kidding, it's this one.
Want to see a parts guy vapor lock? Find the youngest counter kid and ask for a fuel pump for a 1st gen smallblock Chevy and when he asks for the year/model/options, smile and say "1920 model T roadster pickup". It's even more fun if ya need a points distributor. What engine? "327, 454, whatever..." They're experts and feel compelled to argue.
#4 ... Younger son and DIL decided that they were too immature and selfish to have children, so they foster and adopt rescued animals. Oldest one to date was 14 when they took her. Good people.
# 4, im already there. i love dogs way way more than people. a dog will never abandon you when you get old and sick and i will never abandon them while im alive. if i die before my dogs make sure they see me. dogs understand death and i would not have them think that i abandoned them.
My wife and I have been adopting senior discarded dogs for twelve years. Sometimes an old person dies and their dog gets dumped in a shelter. Other times a dog gets old and the vet bills mount so they get discarded. We take them. Some last only a few months, others a couple of years. We spoil them, give them the best life we can and hold them as they receive their final mercy. It’s heartbreaking and unbelievably rewarding.
#18: baja bug. 2220 cc engine ( 94 X 80 ). Kharmann Ghia rotors. Type III ( squareback ) brake calipers. just mail order parts, or know the store part number before you enter the store.

ReplyDeleteThey'll just eat your dead body anyway.
DeleteI don't get 18
ReplyDeleteAnytime you go into a parts store for something, they ask you a shitload of questions about your vehicle that make no difference.
DeleteFor me to get the joke, one would have to assume that I have ever set foot inside an autoparts store...
DeleteMe: Its a 1949 DH model WFL, now get me a large bag of Floor-Dri, half gallon or 60 weight, and a quart of Instead-O-Lead.
DeleteYep. Been on both sides of that counter. Some of the questions just get to the right part of the page.
DeleteYep- go in for a muffler clamp & they need to know your vin???

Engine Size × Make + Model ÷ Tire Size = 'They've been using this same Bulb for 50 years.'

Delete#4 will probably be me when I retire. And agree with anon love dogs much more than people. Can't imagine life without a dog.
ReplyDeleteI don’t trust anyone who doesn’t love dogs/animals

Delete"I don't trust anyone who posts anonymously." ... I'll trust you on that one.
DeleteI'm undecided between # 6 and # 20 for best..
ReplyDelete# 13 is why I am happily single

#19: Tax avoidance and in addition you don't need a sewer hook up.
ReplyDelete#5 and/or your wife/mom....
ReplyDelete#19 reminded me of a spite house. Although back when that was built, it probably wasn't the motivation.
ReplyDelete#9: My brand of toilet paper came in rolls so big they'd hardly fit in the holder. Suddenly they fit easily, shrinkflation at work.
ReplyDelete#9. Every time I see that I think WTF
ReplyDelete#20 for the win.
ReplyDelete👍👍🤣
