When customers come into Advance and INSIST that I choose their specific trim level and engine when it has absolutely nothing to do with the part.
Main example: Wiper blades.
Also when they don't know what they drive, that one never ceases to amaze me.

Seriously, I had a lady say she needed a battery and I asked her what type of car she had. She legitimately said "red minivan" and stood there.
I asked, do you know what kind of minivan? And she replied, "well its red". THANKS. :lol:

On the flip side, auto parts workers who have no fucking clue what they're talking about.
When I worked at AAP, I had a guy come in and ask another coworker for a condenser for his 67 F100. The coworker was confused AF, kept asking the old man if he wanted an aftermarket AC system. I overheard this ridiculous exchange and went over and said "No, like a points condenser" and the old man was all

Got him his condenser and sent him on his merry way.
Afterwards, dudebro was all "Well how was I supposed to know?"

Okay so I worked for AAP for something like 3 years during college so I have lots of stories, so I cant help myself.
One of our older coworkers just liked to mess with the "newbies" and wait till their shift and call them looking for a radiator for an old bug. He would insist that he was stuck on the road and start raising his voice saying he bought the last one from us (on the phone). Inevitably I would have a newbie come up freaking out that he couldnt find it in our database and needed help with a disgruntled person on the phone. :lol:

Someone tried that shit with me. "I need antifreeze for a 61 beetle..." Sir I need you to take a deep breath...that's your coolant.

Oh my god yes. We had this damn kid that harassed my GM about becoming a full time manager even though he's 100% not ready. A customer calls one time and i hear them on the phone. "Aaaahhh uhhh Idk man do you mean like a spark plug? What's the glow plug whats it do? Uhhhhh I don't think we have that part man" I was so ready to scream lol. It also annoyed me that he called the pilot bearing a pilot bushing.
Oh god that's another thing. It doesn't really peeve me but when Advances computers and the customers terminology doesn't line up and I have no idea what a "governor pressure control switch on a Dodge" (or some shit like that he literally read off his code reader on the phone to me) is and nothing shows up when I search it. Oh boy.

I don't have any pictures, because that's tacky - but I just flew economy premium on Lufthansa, and that shit was pussy on the chain wax.

Makes sense, I'm out of the loop on most things TV related since we cut the cord over a year ago

I do have one pet peeve on planes... people who support their body weight on the seat in front of them while getting in/out of their seat. Use the seat and/or armrest behind you, damnit.

people that pull into a driveway or entrance that has some kind of steep curb or tight entry way, and nearly come to a stop with their car's ass halfway out in the road, and then crawl the rest of the way in.
i drive down a 45mph road half the week with entrances and driveways all over it, and the completely oblivious shitbirds in their AARP specials trying to do this pretty much demand i have to slam the brakes and swerve out into the center turn lane at least twice every trip so they guy behind me doesn't park in my trunk. you'd think after pulling onto the same property 1000 times you'd figure out how to just drive up without needing a freakin spotter to not take out a mailbox or curb the whole side of your car.

I see this a lot even with a lot of flat out normal right turns. You do not need to come to a complete stop before you complete a 90* turn when nobody is in front of you dudebro!!!

Can we bring up people driving in snow again? Last night, I drove my gf's '11 Accord up the copper beech hill, passing a mid-'00 Mustang stuck on the right side and a mk6 Jetta stuck on the left. It's really not that hard to not be a fucking idiot.
Also, people who don't turn on their headlights at night. Start your car, think for half a second, turn your lights on. Not very hard.
