I had a fun night at work tonight.

What a night. I had a guy come in that was having problems with his amp. At anything louder than whisper level, the amp would surge on and off. I go out and look. A "Dominator" amp pushing 2 green speckley "Crunch" subs.

"What's wrong with it?" he asks.

I wanted to tell him, "The problem is, you're using a Dominator amp to push green subs with glitter on them". I bit my tongue and acted like I cared.

Then, right at closing a chucklehead comes in and starts asking me all sorts of questions, but before I get to answer any, he turns, looks at more stuff, and asks more questions. This goes on for 20 minutes. Then, after I answer his questions, he decides he doesn't agree with me and challenges my answer. Why did you ask then!?

"whaddia mean those 10" HX2s will outpound my 12" Orion (He pronounced it oreeeon) XRT's (He meant XTRs)??"

I proceeded to begin my explanation that cone size doesn't dictate SPL, air movement does and how high excursion subs....

He interrupts me, "But I have 12s. These are only 10s!"

"I'm sorry sir, we're closed. You'll have to stop back tomorrow. Have a nice night"



Idiots. Anyway, I needed to rant. For anybody that's still reading this, thanks.

At least you don't have to here the people I hear at work. I work on a toll road and atleast 10 people a night tell me that this road wasn't here last year when I came through. I'd like to say "me and a few buddies put it up 3 weeks ago and figured idiots like you would pay to drive on it" But have to smile and tell them its been here since 1958.

I guess those same 'tards are all over.
Here is one of my favorites

A person sends an email to tech support stating that they cannot recieve any email. They then request you send them an email on what needs to be done to fix the problem.

I love when I get that one

lol gotta love those people who come in the store last minute. I wont even go near a store if they are closing w/ in 15 minutes, cause i know what thats like...and even then I know exactly what I want. i work at a parts store and one night after a long bad day, I'm locking the door and some kid runs up "wait a minute man i just need some tint" i'm thinking what the hell are you gonna do with your tint at 8 o clock at night dumbass? I doubt you're tinting your car right now so just come back tomorrow lol man I thought it was funny when some guy asked where the restaurant was thats right next store...but "wheres the closest gas station" is much better

I like the lady that came up to get her oil changed in her 2000 Kia and asked me how often she's supposed to change it. I tell her every 3000 miles or 3 months.
"Oh. Well I haven't changed it since I bought it."
"How long have you had it?"
"About 5 months."
"Well how how many miles do you have on it?"
"53,000"
In shock: "You went 53,000 miles without changing your oil?"
"Yes. It's no big deal right?"

I am more amazed that she put 53,000 miles on her car in 5 months
