What I think everyone mean when they say somthing about "old people" is not an exact age, but a period in their life where its just common knowledge that they shouldnt be driving due to risk factors.

 

let me throw an example i had today at work. by the way i work at sears as a tools salesman and i know my stuff front to back as far as product info, warranties, and the correct tool for the job. now this took place in the morning, and i'm NOT a morning person this is an interaction between myself and a 60 year old gentleman, here we go

me: how you doin sir?
old guy: well it depends...
me: oook depends on what?

old guy tosses a 10 year old craftsman corded drill on my counter that is CLEARLY out of its warranty which is a ONE YEAR MANUFACTUR'S WARRANTY

old guy: i need a warranty replacement
me: uuhhhhh i'm really sorry sir but this seems to me about a 10 year old drill its about 9 years past its warranty

now what happens next is verbatum

old guy: bull$%it craftsman is a lifetime warranty
me: your completly right on sockets, wrenches, ratchets, screwdrivers, and select other items, all electrical devices are not lifetime, i'm sorry sir the only thing i car recommend is going to parts and service and getting it repaired, i'm really sorry for the mix up

now every other word that comes out of his mouth is F-this and F-that so i kick him out of the store. there were kids around and everything, so out he went. on the way out he's swearing and yelling like a little child that didn't get his way and that he'll never buy from sears so on his way out i yell back in all seriousness "have a nice day!!!"

and that is my honest to god definition of an old guy. i cannot stand old people that A: are cranky B: yell when they don't get their way C: can't take that they are wrong D: all of the above

 

Oh hey you just reminded me of the number 1 thing that makes me mad. Sears Holdings Coporation!!

No offense to you silverstreak since you work there. I and 52 other employees got F-ed over at the Kmart I worked at.

 

dude perfectly cool i'm just there for the tools, i was gonna do a really pointless post about how i got a new job at a dealership as a lube tech 5 miles away from my house while sears is 30 miles plus i'm getting paid more! so screw sears!

 

Good story. I know it's true. I love how people assume that the return policy a store had 50-60 years ago still applies today. Here's a little something you may like.

 

^^^hahaha yea i wish retail stores would let you use that policy

 

oh just think of how many people i would physically harm
