Why oh why do they do that. Drives me nuts. Have mild OCD and have to have all notes facing the same way so have to re arrange them all. 15 hours ago, david gott said: When a group of foreign customers are sat in the office they talk to you I English and then have a full blown 10 minute conversation with the friends or family in their native tongue.

Wallet full of readies.AD are you sure you are not more older than you claim.When I started carrying ,£500 in readies was a minimum for car dealers.I was told that 50s car dealers would always carry a grand or two in readies incase there was a cheap car to buy.All part of the pose in those days because a decent car only cost £200.Can you imagine now pulling a grand out at the local block to buy a cup of tea.

Mark101 536 Posted January 16, 2019 Bloody OCD - I am stuck with it. I can't stand mess, dirty floors, plugs left on with nothing plugged in, filing not done, keys not tagged and that's before we even start on checking the fucking tap and lights are off.

zappa_2001 1 Posted January 16, 2019 (edited) - When they scream about your car not having a second key and their swapper that they’ve owned for 10+ years has one key made from duck tape and elastic bands. - The last minute disclose on the px. “Oh it smokes a bit when I start it in the mornings sometimes”. You start it from cold the next morning and can’t find your way out of the workshop. - “has the car ever had paint?” No it’s done 96000 miles wrapped in cotton wool and washed using only the 2 bucket method from new by all 5 owners. Hyundai Matrix drivers are always fastidious types. - Customers who perform their own mini-MOT on the forecourt (indicators, fogs, tyres etc) on a car that was actually MOTd the day before and has done 1 mile since. - Punters clutching the Parkers guide. - Shaking on an agreed price and then further attempts at negotiation post hoc (tax, fuel, etc etc) - Customers who confuse the CRA and warranties and fair wear and tear etc. When you try and politely explain they stop listening and just assume your bullshitting. - I’ve got lots more...

Worse than that though, people who insist on performing an emergency stop to prove the brakes work. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
