And my favorite:
::walk into auto parts store, and tell them, "I need such and such a part for a '99 Jeep Cherokee, 4 wheel drive, 4.0 inline 6." Their response, "Grand Cherokee or regular?" Did I SAY grand at any point?::
I had this EXACT conversation at the Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep dealership. The guy looked at my like an idiot saying, "grand cherokee or regular cherokee, and what engine?" I said, "I said it's a 4.0 Cherokee. Did I stutter?" The guy looked down and was like "oh." then got me my 16 freakin dollar replacement bolt for the tensioner pulley. 16 bucks! geez.

She says "they dont own real jeeps."
I asked her weather her or my jeep could go farther off road. Needless to say i won before haveing to turn over my motor. HAHAHA

Similar conversation at NAPA of all places.....NAPA usually know their crap but it seems they are sliding.

Went in with a dead relay..nothing special just your standard 12v 20/30A relay and wanted 5. The guy looked at it like it came from Mars. He started typing in all kinds of codes and numbers in the computer. Then gave up and asked me what vehicle it was for. Eventually after he looked it up he went to the back and pulled the ONE they had in stock and said he could order the other ones for me. OH. and charged me 13$ for a relay.

Took my relay home, put it in and ordered 5 online for a total of about 21$ including shipping.
