re Ray-A-Motive Auto Repair, Bellflower CA πŸ‘ŽπŸ˜‘


https://maps.app.goo.gl/FvLbiuezjYT5zHXk9 

I drove through here as I was driving around town looking for an auto repair cuz my car was clicking and clacking & popping etc. Sounded terrible and I didn't know what it was. I've been to this place before not for a few years. And then I looked and realize how busy it was so I was going to just drive right back out. But this guy walked up and stop me look at me suspiciously and asked me what I wanted.

Obviously if you work at a repair shop you SHOULD HAVE BEEN able to hear my car & know without asking what I needed (or maybe not if you're just an office manager). 

But let me cut to the chase: he seemed like a JERK the way he was talking to me in a condescending manner, like he was some kind of supercilious star or something. Sorry buddy but being an office manager does not make you a star  other than a star in your own eyes. 

 He also started peering in my window like he wanted to see what I had in my car as if he was a cop or something -like he had a right to know what I was carrying with me. 

Fact is, I had my car loaded with stuff because I had been traveling all summer to New York and back. But he apparently disapproved of this as well. I already told him it looked too busy and I was leaving. He had no right to stop me from leaving.

 If he wanted to tell me this was private property I already know that. But during normal business hours it's acceptable to enter private property if the business is open to inquire, do business, look and see how busy it is etc.

 For that matter a grocery store is private property, a gas station is private property etc. I wasn't doing anything illegal. I'm a good citizen. And I was trying to leave, so why was he acting like a jerk and making me stop and tell him what I was doing.

 Simply put, I drove in past the different garage stalls & took the loop around and was heading back out. To treat me like a potential criminal was not warranted πŸ‘ŽπŸš«. SHAME on you 😑.

 I've been fixing up a nice old vehicle and I've spent a thousand dollars πŸ’° on repairs in the last month.There's nothing wrong with that. And I pay all my bills & taxes. My tags are current and I have auto insurance fully paid for the year. 

DON'T YOU DARE look down at me dude πŸ‘Ž. You are the one who dropped out of college (or never went) to become an office manager and there's nothing wrong with that but there's something good about finishing the course too, as a lot of us do because we believe it is the right thing to do.

Frankly, It would have been much easier to drop out of college & grad school to become an office manager at an auto repair shop but a lot of us refused to quit. Don't you dare think you are better than me. You judged me negatively first, so I'm judging you back. You started it buddy. Not me.

 I only had honorable intentions as I drove up while you seem to think you're better than others. No you're NOT. You may actually be Worse than the people you are negatively judging. The most famous person in the  history of the world 🌍 once said: "Take the log out of your own eye πŸ‘️ 🌲 first" . Maybe you should listen to him. It's never too late.

re alleged parking enforcement @ City of Newport Beach - Civic Center

https://maps.app.goo.gl/CLXwH4HbsTJHZApn8 

Who's the greasy long-haired guy who drives around in a city vehicle pretending to be parking enforcement ⁉️ I was in the library parking lot a little past 9 pm and he came along and told me I couldn't park there after 9 o'clock. And threatened me with a ticket. I said "Why aren't there any signs? How can you write a ticket if there are no signs?" 

There's NOT a single sign saying "No parking after 9" nor any other signs showing any time restrictions. Was he just harassing me because he wrongly assumed that I was a transient ⁉️ That's very offensive and unprofessional πŸ‘ŽπŸ˜‘. 

SHAME on this guy. Anyways, this lightweight dude who disrespected me can't hold a candle to my achievements. I continue to achieve and excel. While this college dropout self -proclaimed parking enforcer does his meaningless night route thru Newport Beach and goes home to his Santa Ana apartment to eat Cheetos & sleep all day like a bum πŸ‘Ž. Get a life dude. And get a haircut πŸ’ˆ too

re KRLA, aka 870AM The Answer , So Cal

@am870theanswer
@lanewsguy
Larry Marino gives TOO MANY neutral updates on LYIN BIDEN,- & rarely criticism As if he's working for a NON -conservative station.

 And too many milquetoast updates re Trump indictments- that's exactly what the lefties want: repeated reminders of Trump being prosecuted - so that low information voters will think 
he's the "bad guy"

Yo Larry: 870 is conservative radio. You DON'T have to be so politically correct. Listeners tune in to hear
REAL TALK.

Same re the lady who came over from NPR (who does afternoons: hedy lynn herdes )

Ocd Lifeguard Hq, Corona del Mar

I snorkel/swim 🀿 FOR EXERCISE every day from big CDM πŸ–️ beach to little CDM & back. I like to snorkel-swim because it makes it more interesting &fun - to see the fish & sea life down below as I swim by. I would think the lifeguards on the beach at little CDM would be familiar with me by now. Same swimsuit & head gear . Same routine etc. 

But every time I arrive at little CDM they radio for the yellow boat to come & make sure I'm ok. Despite NO signs of DISTRESS.This is getting a bit ANNOYING lately. 

Hey lifeguards, please leave me alone. I'm 56-yo & I've been doing this for decades & NEVER needed rescuing.
 I'm pretty sure I will NEVER need help.
 I absolve you of any liability if anything ever happens to me. 
Just relax. Peace out. ✌️
Everything is OK πŸ‘ŒπŸ‘πŸ˜Ž

re Rawlins: Wyoming Frontier Prison Museum

Our young female guide was nice but she seemed to be bothered by being included in photographs. We WEREN'T intentionally including her, but sometimes she was standing directly in front of the object we wanted to "remember on
 film" (that's an old euphemism now given everything is digital now).

 Needless to say, if you are a tour guide you must expect you will show up incidentally or intentionally in photographs from time -to- time. If that's too bothersome, with all due respect, find a different job. 

Apart from that, it was Fun. & Interesting. πŸ‘ I wish they would allw you to see what it's like up in one of the guard towers.

And we were the only ones who gave a tip at the end ($5) .

πŸ‘Žre Dayton Transmission, Casper WY

The big guy doesn't tell you there's a so-called "diagnostic fee" of $50 until AFTER they're done (at which point you could LEGALLY object)...and he cowardly uses the ladies in the office as a shield from you becoming argumentative. 

And the diagnosis is nothing more than read 'check engine' codes, which you can get done for free at O'Reilly's , plus a test drive.

They don't even check the quality of your transmission fluid before their grand conclusion that you need a new transmission πŸ‘Ž for $3600 πŸ‘Ž 

It's like a doctor immediately recommending heart surgery before trying smaller steps first. In my case it looks like fresh transmission fluid might be the solution ( still keeping an eye on it)
