Add this to the lengthy list why my dealer won't ever work on my car...true story:

I was picking up my replacement side strakes on Friday from the dealer that I got my cars from. My car was parked right outside the parts department door and one of the clowns working there comes in as the other guy had already gone back to get the strakes. I would bet he's in his mid-40's. Well, this guy says to me, "Are you driving that S2000?" I said yes. He then says, "That's a really cute car." I said, "What did you say?!" in a slightly annoyed and surprised voice. I said, "Hey, OK, I just wanted to make sure that I heard you right. You said "cute" right?" He said "Cute, yes. It's a cute car." Then I said, "Wow, that's really weird, because only girls describe my car with that word." He became silent.

Then the other guy, who was very helpful, came back with my strakes. And the "cute" guy says, "I think I have offended our customer here." The good guys says, "How?" I said, "He called my car cute and only girls have ever used that word to describe my car." Then the good guy pauses and looks over at the other guy and says, "Does this confirm what we have been thinking about you for a while now?" He glanced at his wedding ring, then became silent once again.

I shook my head, signed for the strakes and left. I don't care when a girl uses the "c" word. This guy was a complete yahoo...apparently having some "issues" as well.

 

 

At least he didn't say YOU were cute and ask for a ride.

Whoever voted on this thread and gave it a one, I wasn't referring to this person's sexuality...I couldn't give two shakes in hell about that. This service/parts department won't see my car because they have a history of treating me so badly, it's not even funny. They accused me once of stealing a Ti shift knob. I, and everyone who heard the Service Manger do this was flabbergasted...there are other similar situations that I could mention too, but I digress.

I apologize if you (whoever you are) thought I was referring to this guy being gay or whatever. That wasn't my intention...

This guy was intentionally trying to tweek me and that's totally inappropriate for a customer who has bought TWO S2000's and a 4Runner from them...

Plus, it was supposed to be funny...

 

LOL...... I hope nobody ever calls my car "cute"

 

((In my best Big Gay Al voice))

Oh, Greg! You big sssssilly!!

 

Hmmmm Greg. Maybe he was trying to pick up on you.

 

It's getting to be real difficult to write anything and still be "politically correct" of course "not that there is anything wrong with that".

 

Were you wearing a skirt at the time?

Sorry, couldn't resist...

 

Greg, that story is hilarious!
