Shell Oil Company, and how glad I am to be leaving Oregon.

I'm all for not calling the mentally disabled retarded but that is not the issue, he still cannot PHYSICALLY DO THE JOB! There is compasion and there is stupididity. If you are unable to do a job correctly do to incompetence or phyiscal/mental disability you shouldn't be doing it. Just becuase he is mentally retarded/disabled doesn't mean he or his employer isn't liable for his actions. Shell needs to fork up the cash...

exactly. Putting people with mental problems into the work force to give them something to do with their time, help them reach fulfillment, and even help support themselves is a great idea. However, if they can't do the job it doesn't really matter. If I showed up to work and couldn't perform the duties required, i'd be fired. If the mentally ill want equal treatment, they will get it. Also, puting people with mental problems (or at least a diminished capacity to control themselves) in a job handling flamable materials seems a bit rediculous to me in the first place. If a company is going to find it necessary to employ people such as this, they need to accept the possible liabilities that come from it. This isn't heartless or inconciderate - it's business.

man i thought calling people "waffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffles" was so 2001. :roll:

The compassion for this disabled guy here is just inspiring. At least this fellow's trying to do a job, even with cognitive problems and neuro damage inspired hand palsy. You think he deliberately hurt your car?? Ask the damn station to do a little better training, which is the REAL problem here. And a failure for the station to be accountable for the big fucking deal chip financially. Anyone here have any relatives that they would ALLOW to be called "Retards" ?

some people just shouldnt be doing certain jobs. u wouldnt want this same guy that cant keep his hand still doing heart surgery on people would u?

Threads getting a bit off course guys. Steer back in the right direction.

Why don't you just lock it like you would if it were anybody else's thread.

That sucks - and I bet that's your first scratch/ding too...urrr I'd be so livid after a fresh respray to have that happen.

I always liked the "full service" in OR. The gas is the same price or less then in CA "self service" right?

What is the body shop going to do? Paint the rear quarter and blend in the clear?

Too bad you didn't make it to bimmerfest - I'll have to see your car in person some day...

Keep after the insurance company - a lot of pestering can go a long ways. Talk to your insurance agent - see if they can put a call in too maby???

No - remember the time he dropped a wrench on the front fender and put a little chip/ding?

Yeah, the bodyshop wants to repaint the whole quarter panel, and blend the clear. Something I am completely not interested in. I went through massive amounts of work to have a seemless complete paint job done, and not to have it fucked up by some retard.

I will be coming through Cali around May 15th - 17th, not sure yet. I will be stopping in at Marianos, and maybe crashing for the night. You could meet up there :)

That was on the passenger side strut tower, under the "H&R inside" sticker.

Let me guess, you either own a gas station in Oregon or you work at a gas station in Oregon. Your compasionate political correctness is far too much for me to handle. Oh, I just noticed, NorCal....enough said. I'll just quietly bail out of this one and click the NRA link in my "favorites tab". No sense wasting my time on this "Feinstein" conversation.

You are one dumb motherfucker. I can't believe how many stupid people there are on this board. It amazes me.

Shut the fuck up you troll. You don't even own a fucking E30.

I rest my case

go save the whales man, we dont care

[E30ownerwithanopinion]

every stop your jabbing its a fucken chip of paint and its some guy who hcan keep his hands straight. In the grand scheme of things does it really matter?


I am willing to bet there will be a LOT MORE chips of paint missing from the car soon after the drive from OR to TX who are we going to go after then god for making dirt and sand?

If we wanted 100% clean cars we would keep them in a bubble.

You are right, and I am more then prepared to accept the chips I get in that matter, as it is my choice.

Fucktard with the shaketastic hands wasn't my choice. It no different then someone sideswiping me with their car, but only making a small chip.

It might not be a bad idea to get one of those bra/cover things for the drive down.

Party! I live 5 minutes away

I'd rather just repaint the front end once I get where I'm going.
