So from time to time, I do security at local concerts and shows for a friend of mine, $10 an hour under the table, and I get to see the show for free. Well, there's this guy Mark that is usually always there, and last weekend, he showed up in his new car, an E36 4 door 328i. Pretty nice car, great shape. We got to talking, and he told me that he paid $8500 for it.
So later that night, after the show was over, we were outside making sure everyone got to their cars ok, and he noticed that one of the bands had parked their van and trailer right behind his car, leaving him blocked in, and the only way for him to get out was to squeeze between 2 trees, without about 2" of clearance on each side. So after he got his car out (just fine, he's walking around pissing and moaning, calling the guy a fucking asshole, which was understandable, until he said this, and I quote:
"What a fucking moron. Fucking $20,000 car, and the asshole parks his fucking van right behind me and blocks me in behind the trees".
I think I immediately lost just about all respect I had for the guy. Yeah, you've got a BMW. Yeah, it's nice. But don't fucking lie outright about the price of the car, especially when you've just told me not 3 hours earlier that you paid less than half that for it.
