Meeting people as a mechanic.

[LaserSVT]

You're telling me! Dude comes in the other day all thuggish .... think it was a dude, may have been a chick, and demands I put some air in their tire. "My tire need air. Go put some air in it." Well i am in the service industry kind of so I swallow my pride and say "Yes sir" which gives me a look that I should have said ma'am. I go outside and see this:




How the fuck am I goint to put air in that? WTF?

[03mustangdude]

Sir time to call triple a for your ride

Better yet, the way they pulled in its blocking two of my bays and two other of my parking spots where customers are trying to leave. This "it" is just sitting there yelling at someone on the phone to bring a tire to, and I quote, "This honky shop by da gas staten."
I ask them very politely if they could move the car so my customers could get out. Granted me, my coworker and the three customers there were all white but I wasn't aware that we catered only to "honkeys". I should point out this person was also really pissed i don't sell tires.
So what do they do instead of backing up a tad and into a parking stall? They slam this Altima into revers, peals out, slam it into drive and almost get in an accident pulling out of my driveway as the tire comes off the wheel.
Droid cameras are not as fast as the commercial would have you believe.

[03mustangdude]

Lol so where did they end up getting to?

[LaserSVT]

"Da gas saten across fom da honky place"

"Da gas saten across fom da honky place"

Lol, you should get new signs that say that.

I ain't gonna lie, I almost pulled down to your shop for an inspection but I stopped at the vacant looking building out front. Abdul was hiding out in his office but he helped me out.

His name is Al and you should have came in.

Funny thing is the person on the other end of the phone knew exactly where it was talking about. You need to get one of those trendy "I cant breathe" shirts and wear it everywhere. You would get mad respect from the ninjas.

And they would still ask you to "hook me up" even though you don't know them.

Laser, your shop would be an excellent candidate for a reality show.

[thomasblively]

You should keep some sort of a camera rolling while you are working; you would be a YouTube millionaire

[LaserSVT]

My business partner says that all the time. There are so many car shows based in Texas though its nuts. Plus I yell at him a lot and pick my nose so dont want that on the TV. LOL

But Youtube aint a bad idea. I already have a couple cameras set up. Just need higher def and sound and a bigger DVR. LOL

But this is yet another reason we couldnt be on TV. I interact with Al a lot. Hes a nice guy and funny as hell. But hes also super racist. LOL Hes Muslim and really hates Islamics as well as pretty much every one else.
The other day i am outside flying my drone and he is really getting a kick out of it flying past so fast and asks if it can hover. So I bring it in and hover it 2' in front of us. Now because we joke a lot and I know his sense of humor, his next response just made me laugh where as on TV, it would be a hate crime joke. He simply said "That is perfect for carrying a bomb to someone." With his thick middle eastern accent and the fact he says "Oh yes" like the Quickie Mart owner all the time made me almost crash from holding in the laughter.
