![The Most Awkward Moments Shared On Reddit [Compilation] (r/AskReddit)](/img/n.gif)
I remember a girl in my physics class senior year of high school casually mentioned that she “didn’t believe in oil changes” (wtf?) and our teacher, who used to work on cars, nearly had a heart attack and made her go to the parking lot and drive up to the nearest door so he could go check her oil. It was the thickest, darkest sludge he had ever seen. He offered to stay after school with her and taught her how to change the oil. He was a good dude
lmao did she even know what oil changes are for?
@@buffycatnip
"Mmm, lube?"
He is a good dude.
Kylie Kay I don’t think so lmao. She probably thought it was just a scam from mechanics or something
I heard a girl say "why do I need to get a tire rotation? They rotate when I drive." It isn't the dumbest thing ever said but still.
The husband and wife having to step between two belligerent attorneys sounds like a Miami Vice episode
"The customer is always right," is a phrase spoken by someone who's never worked a godamned day in retail.
Worked in credit cards for a major bank. Need I say more?
@@michaelmclachlan1650 Apologies, I meant it was coined by someone who never worked in retail...or customer service.
@@Kiwi_Tea My apologies to you, I was actually agreeing. I understand where you're coming from, like you I've read the book, seen the movie and bought the t-shirt. Can be 'fun' can't it?
@@michaelmclachlan1650 lol oh extremely...I also worked in shoes....the smell, the bunions...yikes!
"The customer is always right, _in terms of taste."_
This means that it's a bad idea to sell a product customers won't buy. It doesn't mean that the employee has to comply with unreasonable demands from insane customers.
"They call you disrespectful when you won't let them disrespect you." That sentence is my parents completely.
r/insaneparents
Absolutely!
Oh wait till your a parent. Ever heard that you have to earn respect!
@@anntully-crook2430 I have earned my respect. I do everything they ask of me within my capabilities. I help with the house as much as I can, I earned all A's this past semester despite it being my first semester entirely online, and I never break rules or laws. I tell them where I'm going and who I am with even though I am under zero obligation to because I am an adult myself.
I should add as well that I'm 23. I do not need another adult telling me I have to earn respect when I have done more than enough to earn the respect I do have. So when my parents disrespect me and my privacy or my decisions or friends, I will call them out on it as disrespectful- always in as polite of a manner I can manage, but I refuse to let it happen. And then they try to say I am disrespectful for not letting myself be treated like I'm less than them.
Do not ever assume someone's position in life either. Do not assume they ever will be a parent. Do not assume they even have the ability to be. And do not assume their position is not abusive.
If you've read all this, thank you for your time and I hope you properly heed my words or any children you parent will be in my position some day. I wish you the best.
It's ok have a good night also
I never understood the point of giving people crap for living at home as an adult. There is a difference between living with your parents and living OFF your parents.
Thank you! That was a normal living situation until about the 1950s. Now we're seen as helpless pussies. Yeah I'm 37 and my mom and I live together. It makes more financial sense than trying to maintain two homes. Plus her disability check is pathetically low so she really can't make it without help. Nor can I. Pooling resources and helping each other out isn't weakness ffs.
@@feraltaco4783 I agree. Why live with strangers to make ends meet if you can live with a parent and hopefully spare you both some headaches.
Also can have a strong cultural aspect. In Italy for one you didn't normally move from the parental home until you were married. If you're paying rent or board and working round the house (lawns, maintenance etc) and they're ok with that I can't see the problem.
I moved back in with my parents for a while between apartments and paid rent, it still helped me save as my Mom's rent was small due to her disability and needing help. Now I live with my older Sisters family but as a roommate...I myself am disabled and sharing in the rent and bills helps everyone out!
I think part of the negative implication of the trope is that someone living with mom doesnt have a partner/ independent social life/total privacy to get laid.
I always thought the trope implied the idea person had a problem socially, more than economically. Especially if living in basement for some reason.
(Not saying I believe that, just that it seemed to be what was implied when its frowned upon).
The one with the lady who bedazzled her airbags blew my mind. She made her airbag into a claymore mine.
I'm 37 and have always lived with my momma. Before my brother passed away he lived with us too. We chose to do that because it makes more sense to maintain one household than multiple homes. Also, adult children not living with their parents was the norm until the mid part of the 20th century. Now it's seen as the adult children not being able to survive without their mommy and daddy. The majority of the children have a job and help support the home. Yeah some mooch but not all of us. Also, because the elderly are getting screwed financially so they can't survive on their shitty fixed income.
In many cultures it's normal to have a multi-generation family home or not to move out until you were married.
@@michaelmclachlan1650 exactly
I have a few of these. I worked at a Family Dollar store and repeatedly had customers complain that things cost more than $1.
I had a customer that brought up an entire cart full of shopping and demand that I punch in the 12 digit SKU for each item 'because the laser on the scanner would give them cancer'. It's not a laser. It's not ionising radiation. Paper doesn't hold ionising radiation anyway.
When I worked at a car wash:
Customers that:
don't know what neutral is.
Don't know their car can't roll with their foot on the brake.
Don't underatand touch screens.
Don't understand credit cards.
Don't understand that if you leave your car in drive and drive through the wash in 10 seconds it's not going to be clean.
Don't understand why the car that hasn't been cleaned in 30 years didn't come out clean.
I would have wanted to tell them that they already got plenty of cancer from the fluorescent lights pumping out over 10 mW of xrays, and that the scanner would be next to nothing in comparison.
any time i feel bad about some obvious mistakes i've made, i remember that somewhere out there in the world, there is somebody who doesn't understand how a car works apart from going forwards and backwards.
I owe my parrents big time when thet told me not to enroll in collage. Took trade school and now i work a shipyard and don't have to pay student loans :D
Thanks mom & dad!
I absolutely agree with this decision. I see so many people with completely irrelevant degrees, such as an administrator with a PhD in psychology.
Video: "or you will fail your next test at school"
Me, who just graduated high school this year and do not plan to go to college: "Ha, I'm four parallel universes ahead of you"
actually the VoiceOver read it as "text" instead of "test" lol
If you graduated high school and still make stupid memes like this on a TH-cam comment section... maybe it’s not such a bad thing you’re not going to college
Your internship at a job could count as a test.
Future job application screening tests?
Why don’t you want kids?
You gonna deny me being a grandparent?
Let the name die?
Who’s gonna take care of you when you are old?
I just don’t want kids, call it selfish but they would absolutely ruin my lifestyle. I like kids in small doses, like my cousins kids, love those little guys, but then I get to go home. It’s awesome.
Trying to guilt me into giving you grandkids isn’t as effective as you seem to think.
Yes, it doesn’t bother me.
Having kids so you have someone to take care of you later isn’t a reason to have kids.
Yeah I don't want kids either but at least I have 3 siblings but they don't kids maybe they will change there mind idk
Also I have at least two male cousins who have their own kids, I don't need to have any for the family name to continue and my older sister has her own kids so my parents are grandparents already, and presumably a nurse.
It's in words
This is the thing, some people just don't want kids. Which would mean if they DID have kids they wouldn't necessarily be the best parent if that makes sense.
Some people are too selfish for kids , and not in a bad way either.
Some people want to just enjoy what THEY want to do in their life. And having a kid means you have to make a lot of sacrifice and compromise and some people just aren't down for that.
It annoys me no end when people push for their kids to have kids. Go and Foster a child if you care for kids that much. Damn!
Hk M
The guy at 50:00 sounds like a very stand up guy. Supporting his family and himself without complaining and is happy to do so.
It has crossed my mind that, to us old farts, because of how we've seen Mario Kart through Diablo III through all the war games, that we tend to see computers as places to play computer games - making it hard (or harder) for us to see the same computers as workplaces. Just a thought. - Old Auntie
Good sir/madam/appropriate non-binary term of respect, your Auntie has a wisdom that I wish was far more common across humanity.
I needed a bigger car so I sold mine to a friend, car was in perfect running condition when I sold it to her. I asked about it a couple months later and it turns out that the engine blew on it. When I asked what happened her husband says that she ran it completely dry and she didn't tell him that the car needed oil because the light only came on when she was going around a turn. Needless to say, I was heartbroken. It was the first car I had ever bought on my own.
Love the story from UnraveledMind. I stayed in my parents house with my husband when he had to go to Texas to work and we paid all utilities and paid rent to my parents so they didn't lose their home and took care of their pets. We then bought the home next door and I spent a lot of time with my parents and took them to the stores and helped with errands. Then I took my dad to his doctor visits and helped with planning out his meds. They lived at my house after his knee surgery since I had less furniture and tile floors so he could get around easier and I could give him his loveknox shots and his pain meds. Then when he had a massive stroke from agent orange exposure in Vietnam I was his power of attorney and planned his care then his care facility. This then turned into me having to make the call to end support when he suddenly stopped breathing and was brought back but had been down too long. Then my mom moved into my home as well yet likes to say since she pays the internet and groceries that we cannot make it without her as an explanation as to why she lives with us. Sucks being an only child sometimes.
Considerable sadness in your life but you're obviously a good person. Also sounds like your husband supports you so gold star to him too.
@@michaelmclachlan1650 Thank you. Sorry I vent on TH-cam since it is the best way to do so without blowback.
So thankful my oldest daughter was able to allow me to move in with her after I lost my way you sound like a great daughter only child or not. I've got three and she was the only one that was able to help me. Of course I do pay rent and most of the groceries but it's because of her that I'm able to make it.
Loveknox?
@@LauraFunFunFloweries loves it's a medicine for the blood
My dad a “baby boomer” and I talked about the participation trophies that started when I was a kid “Millennial.” He though it would make kids feel better. I had to explain that they felt like a big middle finger too me
39:16 I love hearing about idiots inadvertently turning their airbags into claymores.
"Millenials don't have china"
There are a few things I find funny about this: 1. While no one in my house is a millennial I (gen Z) own a *_CHINA_* tea set and 2. Everyone in my house has been washing the dishes by hand for years because the dish washer is broken and while we could but a new one or try to get it fixed we don't have a very steady stream of income.
I have china too, and it goes just fine in the dishwasher. My dad taught me how to pick china that you don't have to hand wash. It's great :3
I have achina too, and I don't even own a dishwasher! In my last appartment I owned one but sold it since I didn't use it for two years and just turned it on to clean it... xD
I a millennial, own two sets of China while my Gen X Sister owns none, I also only wash my dishes by hand (grew up without a dishwasher and can't see as they do anything special except waste water and my money up on special soap)
@@gecko2.617 should I be turning it on for cleaning if we don't use it? I have never heard of this, but this is the first time my apartment has had one!
@@bookapillar if itwas used before it is better to clean once every few weeks because the dishwasher could go moldy, atleast in my experience, since there might be small foodwaste-parts still in its systems
Listening to the boomer vs gen z/ millennial past of this, it occurs to me that the bad attitudes are born of fear. Fear of being perceived as stupid, unnecessary, unwanted. Fear of getting taken advantage of. Then Frustration with not understanding/ being understood, relating etc.
my family constantly scolds me for having bad days at work and saying "you have a job, you don't get to complain" while they can complain whenever they want about whatever they want, even downplaying an ergonomic injury i had from working too hard, saying i was making it up
I'm sorry you are going through this. It doesn't sound like a very supportive environment. Maybe you can reduce contact with them. Not only this, but if they are not supportive and have this negative attitude, it might be a better idea to not talk to them too much about your private stuff. They don't sound very empathetic.
I'm assuming you somehow feel that because they are your family you can talk to them about things, but I think it's time to accept they don't care that much about your day to day feelings. It might be a better idea to find some friends that can really empathize with you or a loving partner.
Also, you're not required to listen to them complain all the time. Just find polite ways to reduce contact, such as: "Oh, I can't talk too much because I have to do some extra work for my job - work from home/ have some household chores I need to do/ I'm going out with friends/ I'm taking some classes at evening school because my job requires it" etc etc.
Im a Millennial. At work, I once watched A boomer with a high position and 100k+ salary look for a file in his PC when a GenX employee said “Have you tried looking in my computer?” The boomer replied “Why would it be in your computer?”
i once got into an argument with a clerk in a jewellery store about if lab diamonds (synthetic) were real diamonds, and i said they are real, just not natural, and she said they weren't real, i said no, selling a zirconia as a diamond, would be a "fake diamond"
The shelter I used to work at is about a quarter mile from a nursing home. They two don't share any names in common. I was working up front alone because they senior staff where doing tests and giving medication in the back. When answering the phone we say the name of the animal shelter and the words "animal shelter" are in the name (think XYZ Animal Shelter). A man called three times asking for the name of the nursing home (let's say ABC Village). He said he was looking for ABC Village and not XYZ Animal Shelter. The fourth time he was supposed upset and said "do you know the name of the animal place?"
"... you mean the animal shelter in Blank Town?"
"Yeah, that one!"
"Sir, you have been calling the right number but asking for the wrong name."
Idk if he ever came in for what he wanted to come in for, but I always remember it when these stories pop up lol
44:11 "How much do I have to pay you?" Yup that feeling

When hearing about millenials and old people not having a hiring skillset, I'm thinking of my dad who back in the day. (He's 67) Never in his life got an education other than 9th grade and apprentice ships. Not because he couldn't afford it (School here is free) he just didn't want..
@Sarah Collins Maybe in the US but school is free in Denmark, we only have to pay for books.
I am an insurance professional. It's gotten to the point I have a disclosure on my business card that states, do not use this as your proof of health coverage.
Ugh. That hurts my brain.
That last mechanic story ("Which part is the engine?") reminds me of some Syrian checkpoint stories from Beirut. Syrian soldier demands the owner of a VW Bug open the "trunk" at the back of the vehicle. "Ahah, you have stolen an engine. What's more, you just stole it because it's still running."
This makes me feel better with my decision to leave my job and find a better place that treats me better and doesn’t work me to death
Don't ever settle, keep searching even as you work, until you find something you don't mind doing for money. Took me a long time to finally find the job for me. I've been at those jobs you speak of and it has a huge impact on your mental health. Don't let boss's take advantage and always value your time, or Noone else will. Sorry for the long reply, good luck!
J Brewdall your right. I’m a team lead at 25 and I was proud I got the position I worked hard for. But I work with people who don’t do anything and I pick up all the slack and as a manager if I tell them. To work my boss will call me and tell me to shut the fuck up leave the employeees alone and do your job that’s where it hit me that I’m overworked and underpaid so I’m moving on new job start date is in 1 week
i kno it man.used 2 really enjoy wat i did but same same,situation were im only 1 who gives a f,wenever bossman aint around that is,so u find yurself picking up ALL slack + having 2 speak to & for ppl/customers +know answers & answer questions.all this while babysitting grown "adults" yup overworked& underpaid bruther

I’m imagining a lawyer, while trying to get his defendant off of a DUI or something alcohol related, calls “God” to the stand. The “God” in question is actually just a dude in a white robe, with a fake beard and long hair. He vouches for the defendant.
You’d probably get disbarred for that, but it would be hilarious.

I worked for the clothing store Fashion Bug and a customer asked me What's my size? Heck how am I supposed to know it if you don't?😂
1:05:02 - I had a coworker, in 2013, marvel over fax machines. She was all like "but how do they send PAPER through wires??"
I had to explain to her that they didn't, they just scanned them and then printed it off in another location. She.... Had a hard time grasping the concept. Yes she was a baby boomer. Who I also had to explain basically the entire internet to. *IN 2013.* WOMAN HAVE YOU BEEN LIVING UNDER A ROCK.
That's a worry. I'm in my 60's, used fax machines from when I first started work and I've never met anyone who didn't understand the principle of how they worked, it's not a problem if they don't know the technical side.
Tell her it's really similar to a telegram. Then she'll get it.
Was chatting with the courthouse officer apparently I missed a show the day before. Guy pulled out a gun and placed it in the little basket to get through the metal detector. The cop said he was so dumbfounded he just stared at it for a minute "you realize you're not getting that back right?" Lol

I'm a little late getting to this video in 2023 but I hope somebody can see this. I work at a car dealership, been in sales for 5 years here. I hear nightmares from the service department daily. It is terrifying how common it is for people to have no idea they are required to change the oil regularly.
One of the most memorable instances happened shortly after I started. This grown man purchased a brand new Nissan Maxima Platinum about 2 years before I started in 2018. He put around 70k miles on it and the engine locked up. He was in the service department screaming at the top of his lungs to multiple service advisors, the service manager, the general manager, and one of the lube technicians about how he was going to "sue the ever-living shit out of your scam company and everybody in it" because he never once changed the oil. He claimed nobody had ever told him in his entire life that every vehicle requires regular oil changes.
Of course it was not covered under his extended warranty due to it being caused by lack of maintenance. Keep in mind that EVERY SINGLE CAR that I sell to ANYBODY, I bring up the Owner's Manual and bookmark the maintenance schedule and go over the chart with the customer. We are required to do this with brand new vehicles, but I choose to do the same for used cars as well. It's better to assume every customer is fucking stupid and reiterate everything no matter if they claim they already know or not.
That was the most memorable instance of it for me because I was absolutely stunned about the ignorance, but similar situations are so common I have lost count.
One of the dumbest yet funniest things happened in my science class…
My classmate, 15 years old listening to my biology teacher informing us we had the chance to hold a sheep’s heart. She was childlike and openly curious, in all seriousness, pipes up
‘Oh my GOD… is it still going to be BEATING?!?!’
Needless to say I just burst out laughing while she was like ‘what?…’
My science teacher was perplexed and equally concerned that she was being serious, he replied ‘Noooo..’ 😵💫🥴🤦♂️
Someone beside her had to justify why it wouldn’t be beating ‘Obviously not… it’s dead..‘
She confusingly replied
‘Oh?? Okay 🤔’

During my divorce my lawyer and my ex’s lawyer had to be separated, almost came to blows. Turns out they were brothers-in-law and hated each other.
For the Nissian sentra guy, no, don't feel bad. You worked hard and used your skill to repair that car. It wouldn't have survived without the oil change. That's what all jobs are, doing something, that normal people can't do for themselves.
99.99% of comments: 'theres no sound'
I use headphones so it's not a problem for me.
Zeusthecat Me too; I think it actually sounds a bit louder than other videos.
no sound? i use headphones constantly and i got sound... don't know what everyone is complaining about... maybe it's their computers.
Worked fine for me.
First view, first like, first comment and first to hear sound! No no no, it cant be
As someone who works in customer service which includes technical support, it's nice to hear that I'm not alone with people having simple or stupid problems
4 decades of bouncing between retail & hospitality here. I love dealing with elderly people (for the most part), because when selling appliances, I'd take the time to ensure they understood how to operate it, and, thanks to having an elderly Mum with failing eyesight, I'd steer them towards products that they could see the controls on.
im always glad to see that in the 'newest first' part of the comment section are actual stories and reactions instead of a spam of people who actually fell for the 'study well pupper' thing. It somewhat restores my faith in humanity.
wait why is it the lawyer's fault there job is not supposed to be keeping track of the one they are defending and making sure they don't try to flee
I just sat here for 10 minutes trying to figure out what was wrong with the sound was it me or my phone or the video… Turns out chances are very good it is the video. Please do not make this mistake again… The longer videos are greatly appreciated though as they are entertaining

Mechanics section hurts my soul
it was a couple years ago and I was stocking shelves at Walmart (I still do that but different shift and different store). I was in infants and this customer asked me about a specific baby walker. I told her we didn't have anymore and ofc she asked me to check the backroom, which I do. ik people joke about going into the back and just twiddling their thumbs for a bit so they don't actually have to look for something (something I'm guilty of doing), but this time I legitimately went looking and found nothing. I come back out to tell her, and I see her trying to pry the display baby walker off the display to take home. I just stood staring at her in awe. she noticed I was watching her and nonchalantly asked me if she could take the display. "ma'am, not only does the display item not have a bar code on it to scan, but it is also strapped to the display as it is a display item."
she left and I never saw her again
It can't possibly be legal to drive without brakes.
It's not but there are idiots.... In the UK there are annual vehicle checks - the 'MOT' - fellow comes in with a Mini, blown brake master cylinder, fluid leaks from the wheel cylinders; his reasoning? I can downshift and the handbrake works fine! Instant fail, vehicle not to be driven.

The "8 piece chicken" question is actually reasonable in a world where McDonalds only sells 100% Pure Beef burgers because they own a patty-making company called "100% Pure Beef". So they do use 100% pure beef patties, but they're not 100% pure beef.
Seeing a big, permanent speaker case built into the back of a car so large it made the trunk unusable and necessitated removing the rear seat, and it’s screwed to the body with 2” drywall screws several through the gas tank.

I think that 'the customer is always' right should be viewed like 'You are innocent until proven guilty.' If they are telling you that they bought it the day before the sale and politely and calmly ask you to help them out, go for it.. unless it wasn't sold in the store of a couple of weeks or the receipt is magically torn.
Amazing deal on the 99 Nissan car!!; I once bought a Ford Expedition, Eddie ($50,000?) Bauer edition almost brand new, for $3000, it was about 4 years old at the time but the family were only part time residents of the country, basically pristine interior with leather seats, about 100k miles. The single problem it had, was that there was a one inch rusted spot on the side rook, that had rusted thru and needed repair. I had it repaired and the area painted matched to new condition, for $100.. They were selling it because gas prices had reached $3+ dollars and at the time(this was I guess, around 2007?), and the media scared everyone that the prices were likely to just keep on increasing, which they didn't. So I got a ridiculously great deal on this beautiful tank of an SUV. I could transport all 8 dogs I owned at the time, to their vet appt .s on a single trip. Their vet was an hour drive south on the interstate, so this SUVs was a Godsend. Three years later, during a yearlong period of exercising poor judgement, I traded it in when I bought a new car. That decision is among one of the several bad decisions I made during the course of my life. I would like to end this comment by helping anyone reading this avoid making the devastating mistakes I've made; offering my advice for anyone who may be in their early or middle adulthood: before making ANY important decision in your life: imagine that your present day self is standing at your future selfs' deathbed. Imagine that you look back and review your life, as you fill in the different various options of the decision which presently lies before you,, and consider how each one may affect the rest of your life. Don't allow your decisions to be rule by the myopic judgement of your ego. Your ego is limited to a very narrow scope and doesn't have the ability to factor in anything other than whatever it is focused on at any given moment. When you don't carefully consider your decisions; and delegate an important decision to your ego, it's like relying on a toddler to be in control of determining the rest of your life.
Surprisingly agreed with the Vietnam Vet on the mandatory service. Source: I did that.
This is an advantage in modern cars with digital or partially digital dashboards. If the pressure of any one tire is low the digital part of the dashboard may automatically change to the tire pressure view so you'd know which ones are low and which ones are totally fine, leaving a pressure gauge to not be required.
"Can I have my chicken Medium Rare?" LMAO. I too work in a Grocery Store Deli and let me tell you, there are genuinely people like this.
1:04:52 I remember in 1995 I had just graduated from college. My grandfather was visiting (from 500 miles away). My uncle had called and said he needed to send a fax to my grandfather and we didn't have a fax machine at home (yet). We had to call Kinko's, ask their fax #, and then call my uncle back. I took my grandfather to Kinko's, we receive the fax, he signs it, and then we fax it back to my uncle. I had to explain to my 80 y/o grandfather how a fax machine doesn't send the paper over the phone line.
In America you live with your parents, in Soviet Russia your parents live with you.
The legal limit to drive is .08 or under. You're not "at risk of death" at .05
That typical response one was so accurate! I did the exact same thing when my punctured tire got fixed at a random garage I stopped at.
Me: Thank you so much! How much do I owe you?
Mechanic: Nothing. You're good.
Me: Really? Thank you!
Mom said he probably did that cause he saw my pretty face and smile. To be fair I was a college student back then and how many mechanics fix a nail in a tire for free?
44:14 Love how chill gen x is. They're too young to feel entitled because old, and too old to feel entitled because young.
guy walks up to my register with a case of beer. my store has mandatory ID checks on age restricted sales. i ask for his ID. he grumbles and grabs his wallet saying "im old enough to be your dad"...hes a year younger then me.
there you have it folks, im the chosen one. my father is a time traveler.
The dumbest thing I've seen someone do to their car is put an air filter from a motorcycle on their car's valve cover, in place of the vacuum line. This guy also tried to convince me that using a cold air intake on my truck would make it less efficient because it would use more fuel. We're in a diesel mechanics class. It was embarrassing when 3 of us had to explain how fuel-air mixture and air density works.
I guess I'm a boomer. But I was talking manners and respect by my mom and dad, and my grandma on one side, and my grandfather on the other. I usually have very little to do with people that don't have manners or respect, for themselves, and others.
Sometimes I question my own generation and I still don't know a lot about technology all that much.
About the first topic:
I know a guy who was pulled over for a minor traffic violation (I think speeding or something). He flat out denied everything, even when shown the video in the police car. So it had to be taken to court.
On the day of court he showed up 10 minutes late...:
- clearly drunk
- clearly high
- in a stolen car (he was late and didn't have a car so.....)
- without a driving license
- speeding and driving recklessly all the way
....and breaking just about every single traffic law you can imagine. Police chased him from the moment he stole the car and til he parked in front of the courthouse.
drove wreckers for a metro downtown tunnel. all those auto repair/maintenance idiots are out there in the wild. this stuff really happens. my favorite was always semi-truck drivers that thought 5 gals of diesel was enough to get to the terminal, until they started uphill exiting the tunnel and that 5 gals all puddled up in the fuel tank rear. we never had to say a thing--their buds on the CB radio did all the burning for us, especially the ones that were stuck in stopped traffic while we hooked up and towed him out. then he had to wait for his company maintenance truck to bring fuel out, disassemble his fuel system and prime the fuel pump. we even had repeat customers. duh.
Not a mechanic but a auto body and tech student at college. My neighbors (at the time) girlfriend had ridiculously bald tires. Straight up drag radial tires on a Toyota SUV. I thought she would get them changed soon and went through on my day. Maybe a month passes and I happen to look at her tires as I walk by. Wires showing, cracked sidewalls, you name anything bad on a tire the back tires had it.
I live in a rainy state so the next time I saw her I made a “subtle” joke about her tires. She looked like a puppy with wide eyes and didn’t get it.
I had to explain to her that driving on bald tires like that are seriously dangerous. Especially in the rain. She thought tires just got like that over time.
TLDR: had to explain to a 29,30 year old women that tires don’t last forever.
After that I was basically her mechanic at that point.
I reckon something that's been creeping in is that kids are losing the ability to learn while getting better at looking up the answer to a question on their ipads.
So me my grandma and my mom testified to how my dad assaulted me and he goes up on the stand and Denys everything he was asked we got the order for protection and I had to have my older brother talk me on a walk because I was so pissed
Study well pupper. Had to say this while I'm studying for my physics exam
1:12:17 - that's weird everywhere I've worked it's been "[place I worked], how can I help you?" Probably would avoid a bit of that....
probably one of the dumbest questions i been asked at work = "why is this laptop $700 and that one $150?"
Lmfao the boomer vs millennial thing never gets old to me. My personal favorite (/s) quotes include:
“Don’t speak like you’re a rapper. People will think bad of you.” (Context: I use a lot of slang in face-to-face chat)
“You have such a good life now because you’re parents went to college. You’re ruining your kids chances of a good life if you don’t go.” (Context: I made the decision to not go to college because school has never been a safe environment for me. Irony: neither of their parents went to college *and* only one of my parents went to college)
“Millennials suddenly want everything to be okay and accepted. It’s brainwashing the kids; like there were no gay people when we were growing up and now there’s gays and transgenders and you can make up pretty much anything now.” (Context: I mentioned off-handedly that I was ace and non-binary. Irony: *my sister and me aren’t millennials*)
They’re wonderful people (the ones who said these things) they’re just a little... iffy about the weirdest things. They’re still loving and accepting and still support us and the other family members, but once in a while they go off on a rant.
My dad would always brag about his money. I earn more than him. I live alone. I also bought a house, paid to have it renovated and my sister and co. Rent it. And I have a car I bought new. And travel to big cities. But sure, I can't manage my money because my savings isn't as big as his...
How do you manage to get a license and then not know how to replace the oil? Let alone, not knowing where the engine is?
-40cish canadian winter, snow squalls and just plain nasty weather and a couple in a minivan show up at our garage... how they drove it, i have no idea. about an hour or so north they had run out of wiper fluid and with the stuff that can get get tossed on the windshield, they really need some. they had pulled into a gas station, grabbed the pink jug, poured it in going on their way....
it was RV cleaner fluid. which is the same colour, but a soapy material... so before the lines that fed the wiper motor and sprayed the windshield froze, they had managed to make their windshield a caked on, frozen, soap, salt(we salt roads) mud and basic road grime mix(various oils etc). it was like a really ugly finger painting, because they tried to wipe it off with their hands.
Why is the sound so low?
Ll
Grand Canyon commet....🤣 I deal with stupid questions/comments like that where i live. I can't help but give a stupid answer to their questions every time.
"Why is it hotter here than the town 15 minutes from here?"
I tell them ....
" it's the elevation. We are higher than that town. We are closer to the sun..."
they buy it 100% of the time. 🤣 I'm terrible!
You are my spirit animal.
I love the story about the woman complaining that her kids are lazy because they are millennials...THEY'RE YOUR KIDS! YOU RAISED THEM!
Not so much what I was asked by a customer at work, but what I asked a customer. I work at an auto parts store and was on the phone with a commercial customer who needed a clutch set for a Mini Cooper. I asked him if it was an automatic or a manual 😂 We both went silent for a few seconds before I said, "Did I really just ask that?" We both busted out laughing at that point and the customer said, "At least you caught it before I had to say anything". Needless to say that specific customer has never let me live it down.
