:mad2: im having a rant at peoples stupidity
on the way to work this morning i was sitting in traffic and a passerby said theres something coming out of your engine mate
looked underneath and there was a small hole in the bottom hose of the rad and a fine jet of water coming out
i thanked the geezer and asked where the nearest car spare shop was
he sent me to halfords who funnily enough didnt have one but could get me one tommorrow, i declined and they offered me an emergancy bandage which i accepted..........so far so good
went to pay..............meantime the vans in the car park sitting in a puddle of coolant
stood behind a bloke arguing abut a sponge and couldnt help listening , and laughing and listening some more and laughing with the queue behind who couldnt beliive it either..........it went on and on and on
bloke had a bag of sponges and chamois
you got a free sponge with every two chamois
he had three chamois and two sponges
he got one sponge free and paid for the other one
its all on the reciept
everyone agreed...........er no
"wheres my other sponge, i should have 3, i have 3 chamois and 2 sponges, i want 3 sponges"
but you only paid for one
"yes i paid for one and i didnt get it, i only got the 2"
this went on and on and on
the penny dropped that i was losing water and needed to get on so i interrupted and asked how much the sponges were
" they were free when you bought two chamois "
i dont want two chamois i just want a sponge for this geezer so we can all get on with our lives
£1.80 or there abouts i cant remember from laughing so much
right stick it on my bill and give him a sponge
he didnt want a sponge off of me he wanted the sponge he paid for and didnt getso refused my offer of a sponge as he didnt see why halfords should get paid twice for the same sponge
i was gob smacked
the assistant got the manager who opened the next till and served us
emergancy repair bandage didnt work as it wont stick in the wet but it slowed the leak down and i limped home via every petrol station for atop up
ordered a bottom hose for a transit , can collect after 3.30
not much i can do about that and ive lost a days work and im still trying to get my head round this sponge thing
stupid thing is ...........ive got decent sponges in the van he could have had one of the new ones
