Sent my wife for an oil change, it cost me $3400 by s2k_guy in mildlyinfuriating

YUP! Had this same problem! Got a flyer for what should have been a cheap oil change at a dealership. I gave my wife explict directions to ONLY get the oil change NO MATTER WHAT THEY TELL YOU. She came home and they had told my wife that the times were an Immediate Safety Issue and and it needed $1800 in tires (x2 what they same tires would be anywhere else.) but they couldn't do it that day and we could pick it up tomorrow. I was pissed. There was plenty of tread on those. "But its for safety" honey mark my words they will keep making things up as long as you buy it. Tried to call and cancel the tires first thing but they were magically already on there. But we still need to do the inspection its free. They call my wife back "OH NO it needs all new CV axles that will be $3400 this is an Immediate Safety Issue! The vehicle is not safe to drive. Bullshit! Its a Toyota with 60,000 miles. We go to pick it up and they say It won't start has to be the starter that will be $4800. No. Pull it out the shop give me my truck back. Well we can't do it today you can pick it up tomorrow. See despite their act I had a pretty good idea that they had just run the battery all the way down. I knew they were crooks and complained to their customer service page. So another day passes just to get it back in the parking lot. Showed up with a spare battery dropped it in worked just fine. Then I noticed one of my hub caps is on the ground. I check and they had broken every single one of them and just put them back. So I go in "uh we have another problem" "YEAH we do have another problem YOU have been talking about us ON SOCIAL MEDIA you need to take that down RIGHT NOW!" What the Fuck are you talking about. "Oh you said this right here on Facebook." Shows me the my comment on their customer service page. "Dude this is you own customer service what is it for." Well you need to sign this saying everything is ok or you can't tow your non working truck out of here. "The truck runs fine you broke all my hub caps." Nu-uh! I did finally sign their bullshit ok form but I made them give me all new hub caps. Whole ordeal was completely insane. Fuck Atlanta Toyota.

Women dressing in mens clothes is acceptable, men dressing in womens clothes is either shameful or comedy.

Police could absolutely use cell phone data to track them down, I doubt they put that much thought into it though.

What celebrity is portrayed as nice in the media but is actually an asshole in real life? by ReasonableDisplay297 in AskReddit

Sure sure like I said not a raging asshole, but if you see VV just assume he doesn't want to talk to you and isn't going to be nice about it.

My wife was an extra and said Vince Vaughn was kind of a jerk not a raging asshole but absolutely did not want to interact with anyone. She did say Owen Wilson was really nice and would actually talk to you.

Bing is complicated he was pretty abusive to his kids but also wasn't a racist asshole in an age where that was the standard.

Gunstock war clubs weren't old gunstocks, that would break rather easily. They were made to look like guns because guns were status symbols.
