Dude you just dropped the truth on us.

"Hey I need part number xxxxxxx, do you have it in stock?"
-"whats it for?"

Also, I once asked them for a banjo bolt for a brakeline on my race bike...no one in the store, at the time, knew what a banjo bolt was.

Did you tell them they are kept near the claw hammers?

"Well where are your brake parts?"

"I'll show you but I dont think we sell anything like that"

long story short - I got my banjo bolt and they were still clueless.
 
Not too long ago was helping a friend work on a cooling leak on his Tacoma, need a gasket for the bypass hose. This poor counter kid, this poor, poor, poor kid....:oops: The kind of person, where you can't even be mad at him...

After the fight to find "gaskets" in the computer (I leaned over and found it) it said refer to the book. Out it comes. He opens the suspension book and starts looking, my buddy and I exchange the looko_O

I then politely point out "there's the gasket, hose, oring, etc book, bet it'll be in there". Kid goes to it, then proceeds to flip back and forth between "Subaru" and "Volkswagon" then back to the beginning to start again. We are literally kicking each other under the counter:eek:

Stops finally on, wait for it...... Subaru and begins scanning the part numbers:(:confused:o_O. Then says hang on let me go get a managero_O.
I slowly slide the book around, flip to the page, find the part number. Here comes the kid and manager. Type in the number to find they don't carry it, dealership only. Kid is baffled... lord, bless the child.... There are actual folks who would have to get advise from that kid. Bless us all...
 
Not to derail this thread, but the following actually occurred to me yesterday. My neighbor asked me to help figure out a fuel issue on his track hoe. Upon inspecting, I suggested we replace the fuel lines, simple 3/8's fuel hose. I called the local O'reillys and got some young gentleman on the phone.

I asked if they had any of what I needed and how much did they have as we need about 20 ft. After being on hold for 10 minutes, he comes back and says they have it, "locked in the cage", but they don't know where they guy is who has the key and to call back later.
 
I have an intern working at the shop that is going to school for mechanical engineering. I am doing my best to instill in him that when you make things you also have to make them so they can be serviced. I gave him some rather difficult heater hoses on an Audi to do today, by the end he was cussing the engineer who designed it. At least he will not curse us with unservicable objects in the future.
 
I have a friend that told a cop that red sign stood for Spin Tires On Pavement when he got caught doing a burnout at a 4 way intersection.

Hahaha

I once told a cop I thought it meant Slow To Optional Pause, when he pulled me for rolling one.
 
Years ago, had a friend of mine from out of state that got stopped by a trooper on Interstate 85...he was doing 85-90.

Well, he has a great poker face. Trooper walks up and asked him if he knew how fast he was going. He told the trooper, "Yeah...around 85." Trooper asked him, "Do you know the speed limit through here?" Buddy tells him, "Yeah...it's 85." Trooper says, "What leads you to believe the speed limit is 85 mph?" He tells the trooper the red and blue speed limit signs read "85". Trooper told him, "Sir...those signs mark the interstate highway you are traveling on...they are not the speed limit." Dude tells him, "I'm sorry sir. I honestly thought those signs indicated the posted speed limit. It's kinda confusing, really. Yall should get that fixed so other drivers don't make the same mistake."

Trooper let him go with just a verbal warning.

Did he pull that stunt after listening to Jim Croce's "Speedball Tucker"?

"One day I looked into my rear-view mirror, and comin' up from behind
Was a Georgia state policeman, and a hundred dollar fine
Well, he looked me in the eye as he was writin' me up,he said, driver you been flyin'
And 95 was the route you was on, it was not the speed limit sign"

Could have

On a side note, and this has nothing to do with car memes, but it's a damn shame Croce died how/when he did...dude was a talented singer/songwriter. I could listen to his stuff all day and never get tired of it.
