Dumbest things you've heard people say about/seen people do to their cars
My response, in the middle of the break room was" WTF, did he sit and spin for 4 seconds on the green? 200mph quarters are WAY faster than 11 seconds, dipshit"
I think my all time favorite was the fat kid that worked in the stock room at "the Good Guys" when I was install manager at a store in Portland OR.
"FK" was always bragging about his uncles "68 Camaro".
The 2 main bragging points WA first, the quarter mile times. Apparently the car would do an 10 second quarter mile at 200 MPH.

Second fave BS line was that the car came from the factory with a CD player.
Maybe he stalled? The CD player made me lol

I was working at a Jiffy Lube a few years back when I had my e30. Let's say this is the stomping grounds for fresh out of high school tuner kids. A guy I worked with was so proud of his old civic. He "rebuilt" it (shitty job btw). When he finally added a wing to it in the back he told me, "now I can carve the canyons better." Arizona has some amazing roads past Apache Jct. A couple weeks later he learned that that wing was a $200+ chunk of waste bolted to his trunk.
Go with my friend to get his sisters diesel truck an oil change. I go "hey theo, watch this." They do the change with you in the truck, so I roll down my window and pull the old "hey man, while your under there, would you mind checking the blinker fluid? It's intermittent and I think that's why." The 17 year old lip ringed punk goes "yeah. No problem." Theo and I spend the next 10 minutes laughing hysterically while this kid acts like he's checking/actually found blinker fluid.
Best part; the receipt with all the inspections done routinely (check coolant, air filter, etc.) shows at the bottom in a different font
" blinker fluid levels............................................ .....OK.
We go to the man in charge after were done wiping out eyes of tears and show him the receipt. He replies "he's the owners nephew, not a lot I can do about him." And walks away laughing
Kid at a local Advance has what appears to be a pretty well built early 80's era Malibu. Big gumballs on some Welds, fuel cell hanging from the trunk with visible AN fittings and braided lines, fresh chrome trim and bumpers, new paint, kid has to know what he's doing, looks like a resto-mod you might see on TV. So I go in and ask what's under the hood and he says the motor is bored 4 thou... my eyes just glaze over and my ears go deaf. Four thou, not forty. I actually think I loudly sighed and turned around and walked away. Not sure, I was just in too much shock because obviously this kid doesn't know anything about the car or cars in general. I can only assume daddy built it. Such a shame both for him and the car.

You ever think it was a song and dance to appease an ignorant customer? If you're getting paid, sometimes it's easier to smile and nod instead of calling someone on their BS. Especially if you're an underling.

That's what I thought it could be. If so, good job kid.

Did this actually happen? There's a lot of holes in this when it comes to Jiffy Lubes CORPORATE regulations.
R3v Facebook gets really bad somtimes. I posted once if any of the tards on there were actually members of the site because of all the stupid. There's r3v stupid, then there's r3v Facebook.
Almost every single person there needs to learn where the search function is. It drives me nuts to be honest, all these dumb "my car won't start what's wrong" posts.
