Uh, I thought CP was in charge of getting FireFly married off? Did anyone here sign off on this?

Congratulations on the subtle brag and the engagement of course!

Well... that pretty much nullifies most marriages.

Nothing too bad honestly but a pretty typical Roger Millions move. Cammaleri seemed to make an off the cuff remark about how the team dinner could be his "last supper". Before even thinking if he should or it's something to report Millions raised off to twitter to quote Mike on it.

Cammaleri, clearly thinking it was just an off the record comment, presumably got upset about it. Millions deleted the initial tweet and apologized in a later tweet. Millions has a pretty good history of raising to tweet stuff before it's been vetted properly or before taking a second to think if it's even newsworthy.

So my dad came to me with his frustrations about the hidden fees from his recent oil change at the Ford dealership that he bought his car from and asked me to write a strongly worded complaint email.

Now him being an angry Polish man in his late 40's that has poor English skills, I get these requests all the time and usually I ignore them but this time around I felt like indulging a little bit as I too hate hidden fees at a shop.

While don't think this is funny, or overly gangster, I felt that my little rant deserved to be reposted here:

l think your hidden costs are bull####. I was told by your service rep. that an oil change with filter was 77 dollars. How do we magically get to 88 bucks (not including taxes of course)?

Im not complaining about the price, Im complaining about the unethical bull#### hidden costs that one would expect from a sleezy used car lot from a 90s movie. Why would shop materials not be included in the price of the oil change? Are you that unfamiliar with your own cars that you cannot predict what materials will be needed in a simple oil change and therefore cannot be upfront with the actual cost?

Sincerly,
Everyone who cant stand being told one price before service and another when its time to pay.

I forgot my wallet and cell-phone at the office today.
By the time I was home and realized I forgot everything I also remembered that my wallet contains my office's key-card to get in and it was too late to go back because everyone would be gone to let me in.

My phone's alarm is going to start going off a 7am. Yet I and everyone else don't typically start until 9. I won't be able to go in too early because no one will be in yet to let me in. When I get to the office tomorrow I'm going to go a little early, but will have to wait outside for someone to come and let me in.

not really a gear grinder, but what's with all this "vented can" nonsense? Has there ever been a time where beer didn't get out of the can quickly enough?

Where they really need those is on cans of tomato juice.

Back on topic...wrgmg is people who drink tomato juice.
Extreme hatred when I see people mix it (or Clamato) with beer.

David Cross addresses this. Some NSWF language.

Why? I mix a bit of clam into my beer all the time. Clam at night, OJ for breakfast/brunch.

I like to drink good beer and do often, but cheapening out and going for what is on special (Canadian, Kokanee, house beer) and then mixing clam in it to make it have some taste saves a bit of money.

Tried it twice. Never liked it.
Just never been a fan of adding anything to a beer. Fruit too, unless it's a Corona.

I always get a kick out of Coors marketing. If you can only say good things about the can, and not what's inside it, you might have a problem.

"Our cans turn blue when they are cold enough to drink because, Jesus CHRIST, you do not want to drink this swill when it's not ice cold! Hell, don't bother tasting it when it is cold either, just chug it with this handy vent"

There's a saying, "You catch more flies with honey than vinegar."

Personally I would be less likely to look after a customer that attacks me with insults, as I will probably never see them again (and they are likely a write off anyway), than someone who words the email in a professional manner citing they felt they were mislead or overcharged. 9/10, I will accommodate the polite/professional approach. 9/10 I will ignore the insulting email. It is not conducive to reply to ignorant hatred.

FYI every dealer on the face of the earth charges shop supplies. It covers all of the stupid little stuff you don't think of. Seat covers, towels, topping up washer fluid, etc.... It should be disclosed on the original quote, and perhaps the service writer simply forgot to. But 10% +/- is the industry norm, and most dealers cap it at $25. You will have to get used to fixing your own cars, if you have an issue paying it. Also every single quote in a car dealership or pretty much any business on the face of the earth is + tax. I cannot remember the last time I was quoted tax in, besides by the local pizza joint.
