Default douche bag with a blue trans am
some 4 foot tall douche bag in a navy blue trans am just came into the shop where i work at. He comes in because th t.j. special exhaust he had done somewhere was hanging so low (maybe 1/4" ground clearence) that he ripped off his electric cut out. so we do the repair, and try to tuck the y pipe where the cut out is at, up as much as possible so it wont happen again. when he comes to pick up his car, he starts complaining the tips are to low and crooked, when thats exactly how they came in, we didnt touch them. and then goes on complainin about the price, and asks us how much our hourly labor is. i dont understand these cheap *** people that want a shop to make chicken soup out of chicken ****. we end up adjusting his tips and making a new hanger so it would hang straight. that guy was lucky the owner was there, because i would have sent him and his jerry rigged car packing.---- sorry for the rant

That's just the way it is sometimes in business. Next time, your boss may say he doesn't want his business and you'll never have to deal with him again.
