Female customer calls. Needs tired for her HHR that she bought used here at our Mazda dealer. Wants them done today. Wants to know if we have them in stock. Does NOT know what type, brand, or even SIZE of tire. So I ask her to get the size, she does. She asks again, do I have them in stock. I tell her no, we do not stock that size as it does not fit any of the Mazdas that we sell and service (and we have a smallish shop, with a HUGE tire warehouse only a few minutes away). She balks, "Well I bought the car there, YOU SHOULD HAVE TIRES." I tell her we get two deliveries per day on Saturdays, and depending on what KIND of tire she wants I can have them here after lunch. "I don't know tires" she says, and gives me to her lover/boyfriend/brother/whatever. WHO FUCKING KNOWS WHAT HE WANTS. In fact, I talked to him about a month ago when he came in for an oil change, and the tech recommended new tires. (mind like a steel trap, I have)
Why didn't HE fucking call in the FIRST PLACE?

Because the only reason people call car dealerships is to torment employees. It's all that happens to me at least.

Tis the norm for a dealership.

Going to take a wild, non-sarcastic guess, and say that he took her car in for an oil change because she didn't know what oil flavor it needed, and decided this was the point when he decided to cut her loose into the crazy world of automobiles.
Or, more terrifyingly, she took his car in to get tires because she knows more about cars than him.

I especially love the " Well I can find it online for $X.XX" after they've wasted minutes or more of your time.
THEN FUCKING BUY IT ONLINE THEN.

"Hey, remember that Takuro guy from the Mazda dealership? Let's call him up and screw up his day".

Favorite line when somebody called about tires.
Them: Hello, I need tires
Me: Certainly, what sort of vehicle do you have?
Them: A sedan
Me: WTF????? Okay, what make is it?
Them: Ummmm.....
Then there was this gem;
I finished installing tires on a vehicle and filled out the rotation and inflation sticker, placed it on the vehicle windshield and turned it over to the customer. A minute later the customer returned and asked me what the hell did the numbers mean on the rotation sticker as they couldn't understand them with NO FUCKING COMMA
Naturally this struck me as odd since the odometer doesn't come with a comma. Unfortunately pointing that out would have been considered rude service so I had to just grin and fill out another rotation and inflation sticker with a FUCKING COMMA .
