You ever want to get someone good?

[z31maniac]

A month or so back i had two wheels I wanted to take two junk tires off of. Walked into a tire shop, the guy says 'sure no problem. The whole time Im thinking he would do it free of charge.

He takes them off, then as I walk away he stops me. "hey dude that will be 40 dollars" I was like wtf are you kidding me?" We agrue for about a minute, he threatens to take me to collections over it. I pay him and walk away.

Fast foward a month,I come across a set of BBS RS007's that I planned to use for parts. My friend Erick (you may know him) says hey fuck it, just try to mount a 16" tire on it see what happens. I suddenly felt very devious :nice:

I walk in with one of the wheels and junk tire, this guy has no clue theres about to be a huge disaster in his shop. He goes to press the bead over the lip, of course it didnt fit, so he takes it over to the BIG tire machine. After fighting with it for 10 minutes just to get the tire over the wheel, he paused with a big confused look on his face and Im just standing there ready to burst out laughing. He goes to inflate it, 10 seconds later BOOOOM the tire explodes into three peices, white smoke fills the shop, and completley obliterates this guys thumb. Was sliced almost and half, within two minutes it was swelled like a baloon.

With the owner, and everyone in the shop just standing there in complete shock- Im practically on the ground laughing my ass off. This guy was livid, try to throw me out. I told him, not unless you refund me my 40 dollars for my tire you just destroyed.. He FLIPS on me telling me my tire was dryrotted and I get no refund. I told him "You took it uopn yourself to mount it, you're the tire expert, thats on you. He sends his guy to the back gives me a replacement used tire, and says "I never want to see you in this shop again"

Owned by TRX. See Erick, I knew these lips and barrels were good for something!! Now off to scrap.

In case the OP decides to edit the first post.

In hindsight...

blah blah blah

yes, the guy maybe should have known, but they stopped making TRX tires how long ago, like 20 years? When I first started, i didn't know shit about tires, and like Raxe said, most tire changers are shop noobs, so what you did, to purposefully deceive the guy because you were mad about $40, knowing full well that

this guy has no clue theres about to be a huge disaster in his shop

. That's called being a fucking prick. Instead, why don't you just take your business elsewhere?

But then, you come on here laughing about how your little plan worked, resulting in this guy severely injuring his thumb.

WTFGTFO

No i didnt know what was going to happen, nor did he. The joke was him trying to fit a tire that didnt fit, not him hurting himself. You're assuming now. I know the op sounded devious, thats only because I thought you guys would find some sort of humor in it.

What is the name of this shop? I want to see it on google maps - I want to see if this place looks legit - you claim they are jokers.

Im sure you do. You'd probably do everything in your power to have the cops at my house too wouldnt you, you little shit. You computer geeks know all the angles. How bout this georgie boy, lets just stick with your version of it- All just a made up fairy tale.

The tire mounting dude tried to rip him off. Fuck that dude. If he wants to fuck with people then he should be on his toes for when they fuck with him back. Good shit bruh you blew an idiots finger off. Vengeance served.

I know it's difficult for you to comprehend the concept of "time is money" but let me try to put it into a context you'll understand.

Imagine you're working at your current job and someone asks you to whip them up a couple Supersized fries. You say "sure" and go about doing what you do best. You salt them to perfection, box them up and hand them over. If he then walked away without paying, would you put your headset down and chase him? Sure you would.

It is reasonable for you to expect payment for the fries since you spent your time making them, and unreasonable for the person requesting the fries to get them for free just because he stupidly assumes there's not a charge for them, even though he didn't specifically ask you how much those tasty fries were going to cost him.

Does that help? (sorry in advance for the complex sentences)

Alright gg, time to unleash your detective skills!

Hurry up, jump on before theres not anymore room.

I have no problem paying a guy for his labor. I do it every single day. This guy's shop is dead this day, and he clearly takes advantage of me. If he asked for 10-20, thats understandable for 7 minutes of work. You know 40 is outrageous I dont even need to stress that issue.

Technically, that "idiot" blew his own finger off.
As a professional, he should have known what to do.
That was not the bad part.


Laughing hard at the guy afterwards, and then asking for your $40.....that was the cruel part. Way too harsh. You should have just left rather than sticking around to rub salt in his wound. Cruel and sadistic. :down:

^That doesn't make what you did right you fucking retard...

What will it take for you to understand that? Fuck me dude. You are borderline 'tard, I swear to god.

[Jonny Cash]

What if he didnt hurt himself and just said sorry cant help you when he realized it didnt fit? Would what "I" did still be wrong?

First of all, hilarious analagy.
Second, and keeping things in character, wouldn't you be upset if someone charged you, say $18.50 for a couple orders of fries?

Of course such services should cost money, but any way you cut it, $40 for removing a couple of old tires is waaaayyyyy too much. The OP had every right to be upset with this. Still, the way he reacted was very harsh, given that it was only $40.

[george graves]

What if he didnt hurt himself and just said sorry cant help you when he realized it didnt fit? Would what "I" did still be wrong?

What if you didn't have a vagina?

[tim88325is]

Anyone notice that the OP dropped his zip code from his location, I think I remember seeing 33313 just an hour or so ago.

Him getting hurt wasn't the "wrong" part.
You didn't know he was going to get hurt.
I don't believe you planned on it.

However, sticking around, laughing uproariously, then asking for your $40 back. That's just fucked up, seriously.

[E30 Wagen]

the point is that you were a prick to even waste his time, knowing full well that the tire wouldn't fit, and even though you deny it I think that you did know it was dangerous to be mounting that tire on that wheel. Sometimes a tire will go on hard but it will still go on. And if this guy was a noob, how would he know that airing it up would be dangerous? I can picture myself when I just starting, and possibly running into a situation like than and then getting my thumb nearly blown off.

But then you just laugh at him when he injures himself, and then you ask for your $40.

You were lucky you were not at my old shop... We would likely have spread your name around to other tire shops, forcing you to drive out of town to get tires mounted.
