I Thing saying that to most people is not a good thing anymore ... I know I will tend to give the death stare, well at least on work days ... lol
Last week had a "Discussion" with one of my co-workers who owns a Ramcharger .... says I need to buy a "Man Truck" so I challenged him to a little follow the leader .... he backed off so then I turned around and said as i was about to get out of my parking spot with it ... "Let me do something your Ramcharger can't" with that I backed-up and left (his truck hasn't had reverse for probably a year)

"So do you go mudding with it? Kinda looks like it. Or you just went down a dirty rode and thru a puddle right? That must be it. Coz you probly dont have enough power to get thru any real mud"

My roof has clumps of sod, my right side only has spray from my rear tire going through a dirty puddle, and my driver side is freshly cleaned with the molding removed. Strange looks ensued.

I have nothing against people who pump gas. But I know its not something that takes huge amounts of intelligence to do. Its pretty easy, and I think the average person can pump gas.
What do you expect from people who cant pump their own gas?
Haha...
Although I feel his pain. Im old enough to smoke, vote, and die for my counrty, but I cant partake of alchohol? Im an adult in every legal way, yet this country continues to act as if Im a child, even referring to me as a minor? Hipocrisy at its finest. (sorry for the rant)
P.S And I dont support underage drinking.... as in under the age of 18.
Oh well , Canada will continue to get my money. Im old enough for them.

What do you have against us? I have to put up with alot of crap working at a gas station like people asking "Do you sell gas here?!" and "Is that your Blazer/Bronco/Toyota?!"
My answers, "No, everyone out there at the pumps is filling thier cars with hopes and dreams." and "Why yes it is a Blazer/Bronco/Toyota, that's why it say Jeep on the grill and Cherokee on the side!"
Gas station customers. Not exactly the smartest people.
Oh yea- another question I love- "I'm gonna be 21 in a week, can I get beer?"
My answer- "I'll be in prison a few weeks after I sell you this beer, can you pay all my bills and my fine?"

Got this one last night from a regular- "Hey you know that truck (Pointing at my Jeep) has been parked outside for hours- it was here last time I came and now it's still here!" He's heard me several times talking about my Jeep... so the only Jeep in the parking lot couldn't possibly be mine.
Then, to continue his stupidity, after I tell him it's mine, he tells me I should get bigger rims, and that my brand new Goodyear MT/R's have a crappy tread because they won't grip the road in a race! And all this time I thought my off-road tires and my heavy steel bumper would all help me in a street race! Cause that's definitely what I intend to do with a 4x4! So after all this he doesn't even buy anything, just wanted change for a $100... which I tell him almost every day we can't do.

"why dont you sell it and buy something dependable?" Cuz its cheaper than a car payment and with over 500k on the odometer i dont think reliability has been or will be an issue. wheres you new truck? "in the transmission shop getting a new rebuild at 45k"....you just answered you own question!!!!

My vice principal: "Is there a reason you're parked on the curb?"
Me: "Cuz it looks cool?"
VP: "Are you going to move it?"
Me: "Probably not."
I got a parking citation.
