cvcrcr99, seems like someone read your box wrong, twice. When it got to West Chester, someone scanned the box as it left the trailer. Then it went down the belt, and to a sorter, whom made the first mistake. He threw it into a chute that went to a belt that lead to the department for where the hell ever it is now. And the idiot who loaded it onto the trailer made the second mistake and just scanned it and stacked it. Didn't check his destination code or the zip. Its a rather frequent event at UPS. I hated working there.

-When people that come in for an oil change complain that their light gray interior is dirty after I'm done. Look, you get charged for 3/10 of an hour for that oil change. That's 18 f*cking minutes. For 18 minutes, I'll wipe down what I can, but don't expect me to take the car down to detailing to have them clean the car out. As it is, I could take a shower and then put my hand on the door panel and it'd leave a dirty hand print. You bought a car with an interior that looks dirty easily; deal with it.
-When I'm sitting at a red light in neutral (screw holding the clutch, I like my throwout bearing the way it is) and the light turns green, and the a**hat in an automatic behind me starts honking. Look, a**f*cker... I'm in a manual. It's a little more complicated than just hitting the gas and going. I have to balance the clutch and gas to start out. Besides, I don't treat stop lights like a christmas tree, so don't expect a f*cking .500 R/T from me. You can wait the second that it takes me to notice the light turned green and get the rpm's up high enough to not stall. Next time something like this happens, I'm going to hit the two-step and dump the clutch. Enjoy your rubber-coated bumper and have fun smelling the tire smoke that gets into your car for the next 20 minutes, douchecanoe.

Nitrile gloves would be great if I didn't work in a dealership... I work on 10-20 different cars a day; I'd go through boxes of gloves like no other, and I'm sure the parts dept. would love me going to them to get a new box every few days lol. Besides, the problem isn't usually my hands (the steering wheel, shifter, and door panels are easy to wipe down anyway), it's usually just dust/oil/whatever I have on my clothes that get ish dirty when I'm pulling the car out of the shop.
-The ride height on stock mustangs. I gotta get my ish lowered. Anyone wanna donate $3k to the "replace literally every part of reaper's suspension with performance parts" foundation?
-People that don't believe me that I'm going to be dumping $3k into my suspension
-People that think $3k for suspension is a lot. No, $3k is the minimum I'd spend on a fully built suspension, especially given the fact that I'm converting the suspension type entirely (modified macpherson to macpherson). That means I'm changing what bolts to what, which requires new parts. New parts that aren't cheap. Cheap parts are cheap for a reason, and I don't feel like bending suspension parts.
-The owner of the jeep who rents the car-port next to mine. Look, okay? You're paying $15 a month for a car port. So am I. I understand you're renting the whole parking spot, but there's something called "common courtesy", and I'm pretty sure it's not very courteous to park as physically close to the line dividing our designated parking spots as possible. You see, if you have plenty of room between your car and the wall to open your door the whole way with room to spare, it probably means you're close to the line, which makes it hard for me to open my door. Thanks to you, I now have to back into my spot because the owner of the F-150 on my other side has enough courtesy to leave me room to get into my car. And guess what? An F-150 super duty has bigger doors than your hunk of daimler-chrysler sh*t; he needs more room to open his doors than you. But somehow, he manages to find the center of his parking spot. You know, where you're supposed to park? You know what? I'm going to keep backing in. Have you noticed how close I park to the poles supporting the roof of the car-ports? That's because I know where everything is when I back up. It also means I can do the same thing to your jeep. I've parked my friend in close enough that my passenger mirror was literally less than half an inch from his. Keep up the way you're parking and I'll start returning the favor.
