Excuse me we need to check and see if that fancy new light is fire hazard. We might need to hold onto it for a bit while we check everything. Once it’s fully verified we will return it………
Maybe

Addiction on Pause - I lied
Ok. May be TL and whatever but I need to vent about Uranuses and Frictionless Richard’s.
So BF (Amir) wants to buy a new car.
He went to the Subaru up the road - the same one I go for service on my car.
Amir called me and asked me some questions, I sent him the info he needed. Reminded him to read the fine print and not accept the price they gave him….And after I thought about it for a minute I asked him if he wanted me to come up there. Of course he said yes please
FYI - I’ve been in a mood all day - a take no shiitake mushroom kinda mood.
So since I know the inside of the dealership is chilly inside so I bring a flannel in with me and as I’m walking up to the guys desk I’m rolling up my sleeves - for no reason than to roll them up! But Mr Sales Guy (Tom Deherrera) makes a comment in a very sarcastic tone about how he should be worried and afraid because I’m rolling up my sleeves….all I can do is give him a look as I sit down and slide the papers out from under his fingers to look over everything.
1. Tom thought it was the 3rd and was trying to get the BF to get a leased vehicle because of some special promotion going on.
2. The residual he wrote down made NO sense!!! No matter how I did the math the BF was paying an extra $2k somewhere.
3. He couldn’t decided if the interest listed on the paper was correct and kept trying to say he could get us a better rate….but never actually moved to do so.
4. He asked me if I was from Colorado - I said no. He asked me where I was from I said Louisiana. His response - that’s what I thought! What in the ever living transitions does that mean?
5. When I told him I wasn’t happy with the listed MSRP - he kindly pointed out the discount below it. Well he Uranus when you start out with an overpriced car discounts mean SQUAT!!!! Which lead me to asking
6. What’s the dealers handling fee?? He mumbled something about their parking lot and tried to change the subject - which of course I said “ok so it’s your doc fee?” And the. He went off on how other dealers add on this and that and blah blah bull poop all around.
I decided I had enough and it was time to go before he became catapult fodder….or I went to jail. So I rose - grabbed the papers and told the guy hey we need to go and talk about this we will be in touch…..he questioned why - and I said because indeed to go somewhere I can think without a pushy salesman.
He desperately tried to get Amir to sign something before he left essentially trying to tie him to a car - made a comment how they only had 2 on the lot….when he realized that wasn’t working he asked if he could have them prep the car for him to buy……like pull the plastic off it from transport. I said I didn’t care what he did to the car Amir would call or be back later after we talked…..
Tom waited maybe 10minutes and called Amir - who was sitting in my car while I pointed out all of the above and more…again trying to get Amir to agree to buy the car….i put my hand out and smart man that Amir is he handed me the phone and I proceeded to tell the Uranus that he was again being pushy and needed to back off…..he babbled and I ignored and then hung up…while Amir laughed!
Then this twit sent Amir a text
Amir no longer wants to buy a car from this dealership - can’t say I blame him. I told him if the dodo sends another text to tell me - I really do like the guys in the service department- because I’m calling and talking to his manager.
Sexist Uranus who apparently has no regard for his existence
Anyway!!!
That was my afternoon!

That was my afternoon!
I bought my first new car recently. One of the features they sold me in was the remote start with full control of the a/c and heating from wherever. They definitely did not tell me that after six months I had to pay a monthly ****** fee for it. I’m very salty about that.
That's some grade A bull...!
I was forced to buy several "upgrades". $500 filling your tires with nitrogen gas, $500 sticker that's supposed to protect you from car theft which is possibly itself the biggest theft I've ever heard of. Remote access with a membership that I don't use but still had to pay extra for, clearcoat, which looks just like every other car on every other lot *sneebullzjiteeze*.
Yeah, I got slingjawed.

So I have to thank my Dad for giving me the knowledge and the attitude to deal with people like this…
And KBB for providing details on actual car value
and Car makers websites for allowing you to “build”your car to meet the specifications on the window sticker
And Google even though it takes time to sort out misinformation
Oh and the ability to do math and read.
And I thank Amir for giving me the opportunity to take out my aggression on deserving people

Yeah, but the parking lot needs a new surface and it's not going to pave itself young lady. Maybe you should go back to the kitchen
And use that frying pan for what it was always intended?

Had a baby snail under the microscope
And this odd thing
And this odd thing
Looks like a sea slug of some kind (probably a nudibranch), though I couldn't say what kind from the microscope pics - regular pics of the full top/back, the full side, and some clear, relatively close up pics of the little "horns" (the rhinophores) on the head would be helpful there.
