Disgusting Prude Mechanic
I AGREE
wrote in message ... We just moved and had to find a new mechanic to fix our cars. We got one that was highly recommended by several neighbors. Last week I took one of our cars to this mechanic. On Thursday I picked up the car. The car had been running horribly, now it runs great again, and the price was not too bad. I was pretty satisfied. That was until I got home from work on Friday. My wife said the mechanic called to ask her a question. He asked her if we found a rat **** in our car. She was extremely put off by the question and called the guy a disgusting prude and hung up on him. When she told me this, I immediately started screaming and I called the garage. I told the manager exactly what I thought of them, and was sure to scream into the phone during the entire conversation. Then I told them to never call my home again, or I would prosecute. Apparently this pervert remembered that I was at work during those hours and called to harass my wife. I think I made it very clear that they not call again, and they just lost a customer. If the guy thought he was being funny, he called the wrong party, and if they actually do have rats in their garage, they should not be infesting people's cars. Now I have to hire an exterminator, and am not pleased. I will not take my car back there ever again. This call was totally uncalled for. This makes me wonder if the guys that work there are all drug users, and I must say a few of them did look like the street gang type, having metal things poked into their faces, and we all know those type all use drugs. |

First of all:
Prude: Pronunciation: 'prüd Function: noun Etymology: French, good woman, prudish woman, short for prudefemme good woman, from Old French prode femme : a person who is excessively or priggishly attentive to propriety or decorum; especially : a woman who shows or affects extreme modesty Wrong word. Second: Someone on your end should've said "That's an interesting question. Why do you ask?" Third: The whole story sounds like a crock. |

I am glad you aren't my customer. You sound like an imature person, to blow up without finding out why he asked that question. Screaming the whole time is the sign of someone who has never grown up. The garage is lucky you will now go somewhere else. You deserve the kind of mechanic you get. As Dale Carnegie said, "Don't grow old, grow up!" Stretch |

Maybe he is trying to make a new word combining pervert and rude... but I don't even see how asking about rat **** would be perverted... just strange. |

Dave,
I think you have it figured out. Those people sure have short fuses. If they had not done off the deep end over it, they would have found out the mechanic left a tool it their car. Stretch |

What kind of ignorant bigot are you? You said they did the work correctly and charged a decent price. Rather than trying to figure out what the guy was actually trying to communicate when he called, your wife had a hissy fit, and then you followed suit- and then continued your little diatribe here, where you made a complete ass of yourself by baldly stating that you know that all mechanics (or those who have piercings [assuming that is what you meant]) are drug addicts. Some people are good at some things, but not at others. A mechanic needs to be good at fixing your car- not being politically correct. For all you know, they had an employee that was vandalizing vehicles, and needed proof in the form of customer complaints to get rid of them. Next time take a breath, get your ass behind you, and figure out what is going on before you pitch a screaming hissy fit- it might have gone a very different way for you. You may think the mechanic was the guy who lost there- but a good mechanic is not so easy to find, and you definately burned that bridge. |
