This is why I don't help people out much anymore.

So I was at my bank this afternoon, and one of the 40-something tellers who knows me looks out the window at my car. She likes how it looks so we go to check it out. She asks what model it was, how much it costs, all the standard stuff. Then she asks what type of radar detector that was in my windshield.

"It's an Escort Passport 8500 X50," I said.

She got this really smug look on her face and sneered. "Oh, those are worthless."

"Really?" I asked. I knew that was a complete falsehood. THe Escort X50 and the Valentine 1 were in a tie for best detector in the country. "Who tells you so?"

Her wrinkled, hairy lips curdled up in what passed for a grin. "My son," she said proudly. "He knows everything about cars! He even installed my radar detector! It's a Rocky Mountain Radar that can block radar and detect laser! Can YOURS detect laser?"

This woman has always been smug and snooty. I tried to slowly break the news to her that RMR products are complete scams have been condemned by the Better Business Bureau. She didn't want to hear it.

"Well, first off, yes it can detect laser, but laser detection is useless, and RMR products have been shown by various news stations and consumer watchdogs not to jam anything, in fact -"

"Yes they do!" she jumped in. "I know they do! It goes off and blocks their radar!"

"And what evidence do you have of this?"

"Well... it goes off! That means it works! And my son says it works, and he knows EVERYTHING about cars. E V E R Y T H I N G ! He even showed me the RIGHT way to mount it - STRAIGHT UP. And he told me the police mount radar guns on some stores like Target and Home Depot and he's right because it goes off whenever I get near one!" I thought her head was going to burst with snobbiness.

I was getting annoyed with this woman. I don't know how much her son knew about cars, but if he knew as much about cars as he did about radar detectors, he didn't know much. We all know that the hits she was experiencing when she was close to a store was their motion detectors and that pointing the detector straight up is just moronic. I'd love to punch whoever thought that idea up right in the mouth. Stupid, stupid, stupid. :nonono:

I shrugged. "Well, if you're trying to pick up low-flying aircraft radar, I guess that's the best placement for it. Listen, I wish you luck with it, though. You'd be the first person to have an RMR product that works."

"You should call my son. He'll get you fixed up with a good radar detector."

Then, as I left, she offered a parting sentiment. "You should've gotten the V6 Mustang model. It has much more modification potential. My son says so."

I rolled my eyes. "I'll be sure to trade it in as soon as possible."

This experience reminds me why I have mostly stopped trying to help people. Especially NJ chicks. 99.9% of them are snobby, self-righteous, ignorant, turn everything into a contest, most of them are getting fat, they SMOKE (yeah, I love kissing mouths that taste like crusty ashtrays), they get drunk and fall all over the place (real attractive), and all they care about is getting tan and what you can buy them. They're mouthy (oh wait, I meant "empowered"), and they think the world revolves around them. Selfish, jealous, and possessive. Ugh. I get sick thinking about it. I can't wait to get the heck out of this state.

Thank god my g/f lived in Virginia most of her life. :D

:hail2: heh, that sums up all ive said in the last 4 years ive been on stangnet.

I would have told her she should have used a condom because her son is a complete idiot. :p
 
I'm glad I don't live in New Jersey and I can think of at least 100 other reasons why in addition to female attitudes in that state.

Judging by the amount of crap I see on the ricemobiles floating around here, Honda Civics are highly modifiable too. You can buy really cool "747 style" wings, Asian graphics, stickers from performance manufacturers even if you don't have any of their parts in your car and colored interior parts that will all cut seconds off your 1/4 mile times! :rlaugh:
 
damn your nice, I would have owned that *****.

my girlfriend had to push me away from some stroke in a 98 stang that said he has the 300hp police model engine in his car.

LOL. Clueless! Great post
 
No, no, no! You guys are all wrong! The V 6 does have more mod potential. First you have to put a V8 in it, then change the electrical system, then change the....well the list goes on and on.
Still wating for my 06,
Doc

He's right you know, I have seen people put V8's in 6 cylinder models never the other way around :) .

I always use the Thumper Theroy in life, "Don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all!!!" Guess you may say I am a bit quiet most of the time.

I just love people who mix arrogance and ignorance. They always make me feels like :uzi: them or :chair: . I would have called :bs: :bs: on her right there. Have to admit tho you seem to have quite a bit of self control.

Thats hilarious!

If you think about it, people get really defensive when they know they're wrong or are stupid. So feel good that she probably went home and felt like a moron.
 
Her problem, like so many mothers, is she is whole heartedly snowed over by her son. But before being so arrogant, you better make sure you have facts you can bank on. She made a complete fool of herself.

On the contrary, I'm 1000% sure she went home with a big asssed crap eating grin on her face, perfectly clueless as to how ignorant she really was. :D When I encounter people like that, I just try to go the other direction, they're not worth the frustration in trying to re-educate them. :bang:
 
Yeah, I could have been nastier... but then again, this whale knows my bank account number, my ssn, all that fun stuff. I'll let the long arm of the law do the talking when she gets pulled over for doing 90 in a 65.
 
:D Best thing for you to do with her next time and in the future is just to play along with her and her son's prowess, you'll likely get a huge laugh and get a **** eating grin on your face, everytime you think about it. :rlaugh: Your co-workers will be suspicious of you and wonder what the hell you're up to everytime that grin comes up. :nice:

There's somebody in my office just like that, he's a "know-it-all" he gets all loud and defensive when somebody questions his logic which most of the time is completely wrong. :rlaugh:
