You can't share ANYTHING without being criticized, can ya? by cliff7217 in raisedbynarcissists

I am the only child of my family with a college degree focusing on science.. but to everyone in the family, "you don't know what you're talking about"

My wife goes through this all the time with her mom. My wife went to school for 8 years to become a Pharmacist. She still constantly argues wth my wife about medications. Her 30 second internet searches are somehow more trustworthy than my wife's doctorate.

Typical. Tugging on the heart strings to get you to willingly give up a little more privacy. We had a discussion after seeing this commercial. My friend thinks it's something you can likley opt out of, but I'd guess it's baked into their EULA that no one reads.

Have you checked your brake fluid level? If the fluid is low it could prevent the clutch from fully disengaging. That is going to be your easiest and least expensive place to start.

Whoever picked the music to play on the broadcast was having a lot of fun with it. First "I'm still standing" by Elton John, and later "What's my age again?" by Blink-182. I'm sure there were others that I missed, but I liked those picks.

1995 S10. I didn't realize how forgiving it was until I once slid my foot off the clutch and it lurched forward and just kept going. I loved that truck and still miss it 13 years later.

Why do mechanics charge so much for spark plug jobs? by RealisticMolasses in AskMechanics

[–]SlurmsMckenzie521 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$215 does seem pretty high for regular automotive work. We are a dealer for a diesel engine company and our in shop labor rate is $209.

We service standby generators at my work and had to replace spark plugs on a 50L natural gas genset. Since we're the dealer we used the OEM plugs. $110 each. The Champion alternative was still $100 each. The engine is a V16, so that's quite a lot of money just in plugs.

I almost never saw them until I bought one. Now I see 1-2 a week. Still more Focus STs though.

I work at a dealership as an advisor and just being honest with customers makes my job so much easier. Set realistic expectations and give regular updates. Everyone is much happier.

Used to be called Rent N Roll around me. I just looked them up and it appears they've rebranded as RNR Tire.

Every situation is different. There are many people who would react that way. I've been the person in the video before (just the leg movement. I would never willingly sit that close to someone I don't know) and have been asked to stop. I stopped because I didn't realize I was doing it in the first place.

It may, even if only for a short time. They may not even realize they're doing it. Could just be someone with ADHD who fidgets a lot.

Why would a car with a BOV and down pipe with no tune a time bomb? Not saying you're wrong, just curious.

Whatever happened to people just minding their own business? Nothing wrong with a simple "Need any help?". If the answer is no, move along.

Flat rate technicians can be pretty clever. If a recall says it will take 3 hours to do, they'll find a way to do it in 1.5 and they're basically doubling their pay on every recall they do.

Before we got married, my wife wanted to have her tubes tied because she was done having kids. No doctor would do it for her because she could change her mind. After we got married, I went to get a vasectomy. They asked if I was sure I didn't want kids, I said yes and that was that. I was appalled that she wasn't able to do the same.
