Fixing Tyre

Just went to hav my car fixed today.

I tried fixing the tyre myself, got the spare tyre out and jack the car but I couldnt get the nut undone. Talk bout incompetent and failure and stoopidity and *&&^%$#@$#@..

Note to self : Unscrew nuts first before jacking.

Anyway, went for professional help and changed 2 back tyres and some other car accessories that I know not of but I'm sure that I'm not being cheated. I think.

Anyway, just discovered that the place where I used to get my car serviced actually tried to con me (I said tried cos I've asked them several times of the tyre pricing but somehow I'm still reluctant of letting em fix my car this time..wait..since I was serviced by em, means..I WAS CONNED!!! Bloody b*st*rds #$%$@$@$^%^&%&^%$%$#$@$#@).

Let's call that shop, The-Shop-That-Used-To-Con-Me while another shop, The-Good-Shop.

I asked The-Shop-That-Used-To-Con-Me bout pricing of some of the parts that I wanna change:
1. Tyre (kenari, 14 inch diameter) = RM 145 / unit
2. Aircond Belt + other misc stuff = RM100+ (services included)
3. Coolent (Naza) = RM25 / 28

Unsatisfied by the amount they charge, I went to The-Good-Shop and asked bout pricing of some of the parts that I wanna change:
1. Tyre (kenari, 14 inch diameter) = RM 120 / unit
2. Aircond Belt + other misc stuff = RM28 (services included)
3. Coolent (Naza) = RM13

So it's no wonder I went to the latter shop for servicing la.

I hate it when they see a female driver and thinks she's ez to con.

That's why, Gal! Do equip urself with knowledge or ask around before u got ur car serviced as there are always really nice shops out there which's not trying to question ur intelligence nor trying to swindle more money outta u.

Also keep track of the receipts and their contact numbers so in case in the future u can do price comparison before u get anything done, that's what one calls "Smart Consumerism".

"Con me once, shame on u. Con me twice, shame on me. Con me again, I'll sue u.." - Ngy

Hola tut tut,

Sure we are shameless in real life too..

But many ppl are hypocrite when it comes to admitting it in real life tho. I hope I'm not, at least I never admit I'm not shameless..haha..

As far as I'm concerned..if one isnt sure when to honk or when to cut into the line, then one shouldnt drive. Cos insecurity on the road just makes more ppl honk..haha..or cause lotsa minor accidents.

As for "impatient with others but patient with ourselves", well, I guess that's human nature, so dun sweat over small stuff.

Even if u greet other drivers on the road, I doubt they would greet back..except if u give em the finger. >:P
