I had the best experience today that i'm still amused by.

I took off lunch to go get my car inspected. Small shop, 2 very positive reviews on yahoo so I figured good honest people. :redx:

I was a little disturbed by the initial conversation I had with them when I set the appointment. It was a game of me asking about different days and them saying no and giving me these elaborate reasons to the point where I said "So, what works for you?". We then narrowed it down "between 1-130" because they couldn't settle on an exact time.

I showed up at I believe 1:27. There were 3 mechanics there not doing anything. I noticed they had delivery food on the counter. I tell them I had an appointment for inspection and the 2 younger guys tell me I have to talk to the older guy. They get him and he proceeds to tell me it will be 30 minutes because "they gotta eat too" then he just walks off. The 2 younger mechanics were there and I look at them and say "What is an appointment? Do you know what an appointment is?" They chuckle and say you're gonna have to talk to him and point at the old guy. I said fine, I'll wait, go get him. I proceed to tell him I had an appointment and he goes back to "well we gotta eat too" it's 30 minutes oryou know what - why don't you just go". I laughed hard in his face and said that's fine I will, and I'll be complaining at every available outlet. I figured I would get the old guy's name so I called on my way home. They knew who it was and the first guy just hung up when I asked for the owner's name. I called right back and one of the younger guys answered. I asked him for the owner's name and he first played some kind of game having me guess it, then he explained to me how "they gotta eat too and your appointment was for 1". I recognized him as the guy who set the appointment so I explained to him how the appointment was "from 1-1:30 as you yourself told me" and suddenly he remembered. He then explained to me how "well what if we inspected it and it needed new brakes? That be at least an hour" and some other nonsensical explanations that made no sense at all. I let him ramble some then I said "I have a question for you." He said "What's that?" I said "Are you still wasting my fucking time?" h egot real pissed off and I hung up.

I had gone there in the first place because of the 2 very good yahoo reviews. Tonight their yahoo reviews and any other reviews I see on them get destroyed.

You're hungry? Eat in my fucking car and drop food all over the place I dont' give a shit. Just don't lie to me and don't waste my FUCKING time.

I am impressed by the fact I didn't use profanity until the very end.
 
I read all that...

Stevie, I want to go and do some damage to that place......

I love the phone back and forth

give JJ the phone number and have him call and make a vid and act like a tough guy, PA auto mechanic industry inspector of some sort and scare them....

Stevie, invite one of them to gamelive... I think they'll be big fans of mine...

Stevie, I used to hate PA inspections

my Dad had a guy though, and he was honest and once you find an honest just good guy with good crew you stick with it...

sometimes when I visit them in grove city I still drive back to Franklin to have this Jones guy look at something for me...
 
Yeah Archie and I bought a pretty old SUV that I figure will have its hiccups so I was looking for a little place I liked, they would have had plenty of repeat business.

I guess it was my fault they were hungry is what it comes down too, how could I be so inconsiderate. :dunno:

Weird shit man. Archie don't hurt em not worth your time bro.
 
Stevay! I had a cop pull the same move on me when I went to the station to report the loss of my passport. Guy is sitting behind his desk, clearly annoyed by my presence, and he tells me he needs 15 minutes before he can talk to me. He then proceeds to pull out a bunch of Tupperwares from a drawer. Then he sits quietly there, eating his sad sad lunch, occasionally making eye contact.

That's the same guy who, some 30 minutes later, would stop typing up my report to eavesdrop on a colleague's conversation with a concerned mother. Something about her daughter dealing with Facebook troubles.

Fucking Facebook man. He was looking at me.

:lmao:

Officer Ciccirillo, I love you in all of your jaded italo-canadian cop-edness.

Jaysus. Hilarious if you're anyone but you at the time it happens.

Tupperware and Facebook - your tax dollars hard at work!

Good point Arch.
 
We need daffy to give us the official, Pawn-Lunch rules when you are working the desk

I mean out on the beat, i'm sure plenty of man-hrs are lost at diners and what not to eating ect. just waiting for a call to come in, instead of patrolling
 
Steve/'s, has it ever occurred to you that many reviews are written by the people they are about or by persons associated with the person they are about as a favor? Positive reviews gets business so it pays to have those reviews even if they might be fabricated.

Steve/'s imagine how many hits you would get on Plenty Of Fish if you used Mario Lopez as you profile pic and had you mom write various feedback encounters of dates with you.

P.S. Steve/'s for the record having your mom write reviews of dates with you was an attempt at humor. Actually having your mom write reviews of having dates with you or describe intimate contact with you would be creepy.
