I knew exactly where my house was, it just happened to be 2 fucking miles away from the pub I was in. Can't remember if there was any footsy involved however.Zulegoona wrote:so Noggan the pub you lost your shoes at, it was right down the block and you walked 2 miles trying to find your house right? that’ll fucking teach you to play footsy when your out on the town
Still no sign of my fucking shoes though!

Fucking rearranged the fucking internal furniture too fucking much with all those fucking surgeries, it complains in brilliantly painful fucking ways now. TMfuckingI for details, but I have a fucking appointment with my fucking surgeon next Monday. Fuck, who forgot to tell the Immortality Fairy to put me on her fucking list?
And where the fuck's my flying car? I was fucking promised a fucking flying car!

My car's fucking "Service Engine Soon" light has been on the past few weeks. As far as I can tell, all it means is that there might be something wrong with the emission control system. Ordinarily I would take it in, but I am currently unemployed, and when I took the car to the Racine county Saturn dealer they had told me that they had fixed the problem and the light shouldn't come on any more.... (I'm glad I am not living in Racine any more, I don't trust the fuckers at that dealership. Of course, my brother told me he doesn't trust the ones in Madison, either, and that is now the closest place I know of.)

Gawd, BAS, My sympathies. That's fucked up!
Rule number one. If you tell the mechanic about a symptom, that's OK, but...
ALWAYS... You have them tell you what they found, and what they propose to do to fix it, and how much it costs, BEFORE they do ANY work on it.
Rule #2 - ALWAYS tell them at the outset you want to at least see the parts. Do NOT take no for an answer on this - EVER. You ALWAYS want to see the fucked-up part and be told what's fucked up on it. Don't buy the "We didn't keep it because we needed it for a core charge - that core charge buyback can wait until you see the fuckup and know why it was a fuckup.
Rule #3 - unless it's something that makes a lot of sense, or is fairly trivial, DO NOT approve changes to your estimate over the phone. You want to SEE what he wants to add onto your bill and why. Like, if you're having brake pads done and he says the rotors need turning (or a - one - rotor is beyond tolerance and needs replacing0, that's understandable. If he says the front A-arm is shot and you also need to replace the wheel cylinders and the master cylinder and all the rotors and drums and... - then you wanna looksee before he goes a'tearing.
You can't believe the BS fuck-overs mechanics have tried to pull on this chick, not knowing that she was a freaking diesel and equipment mechanic for years. Squealing brakes from overheated pads (I knew what the prob was, wanted new pads put on) and they say "the entire brake system MUST be replaced because it's "worn out"" (I think the term for that is... um... lessee... BULLSHIT!)... Being told by this fucktard a cracked heater hose was a cracked block or head... Numblenuts McTweaky trying to tell me a broken injector wire somehow magically ruined ALL the injectors (and the injector pump) - a $50 repair trying to become a (don't laugh at the wierdness of this) $2200 labor bill, and about $3000 in parts... (Fucking Mercedes Scamartist) . Broken springs (yeah, right. If the coil spring were broken I'd see it, AND feel it.)
And dreaded "check engine lights" - you want to know *what* caused the light to go on, what he did to fix it, AND the parts he changed out (O2 sensor or whatnot). You can shut the light off easy, not fix the problem, and charge you a boatload, Again, SEE the broken shit. Look at the printout that said this sensor was fucked. Make sure the one in the car looks, well, new, and the fucked-up one he shows you looks like the one in the car, not like a POS from the stack out back...
Ya know, not all mechanics are bad (had one find a fucked up tranny output shaft which would have cost me a new transmission had he not caught it during a clutch change), but he called me every step of the way, had me come down to see the parts and explain what was fucked up, why he had to change out the parts, etc... He wasn't the cheapest (nor the most expensive), but he was one of the best.
But having been attempted to be fucked over more than once, I am really leary of mechanics. At least it's not an airplane, tho - those go in for a $750 annual inspection that can cost you $20 grand or more.

Some mechanics really are better than I have would given them credit for being too, But any unexpected expense that adds up so quickly always makes me feel I’ve been taken for a fucking ride. Any more a mechanic takes one look at my car and at me and can see doing any more that the bare minimum to enable me to drive it off their property and they'd be stuck with a pile of rusting crap to get ride of, even junk yards don’t pay enough to make it worth towing in a little old car these days .

I want to fucking get on a fucking plane and head for the fucking east coast and start bitch-slapping fucking stupid people. Now, larry always got jerked around by his ex over his son, a now adult son who is probably the daddy of a baby girl whose mother can't decide who knocked her up. Fucking get a fucking DNA test you fucking morons. Doesn't mean anyone has to get married, but Fuck! There's a kid here and responsibilities and didn't ANYONE fucking learn their lesson fucking twenty-three years ago?
hello? Listen up, you fucks, don't dick over the kid! And you you careless bint, don't dick over my step-son even if he won't talk to us now because his fucking mother was a fucking malicious cunt. Even if she is fucking sorry now, it is too fucking late for larry and his son to ever have a decent relationship. Fuck! Stop the fucking stupidity!
Fucking use a condom.
Well, I feel better now. Fuck.
