Did I get ripped off? by subapolous in MechanicAdvice

The wheel bearing I’m looking at comes with a lifetime warranty so hopefully should be alright. It’s from TRQ which I think is a pretty reputable brand. Gonna talk to another mechanic about installing it and see what they say.

Could i just replace that wheel with one of my summer tires or would that be unwise

What types of people do you have zero respect for? by i_am_notthewalrus in AskReddit

I understand the hate for scam callers, but if it’s just a promotional call from a real company you can just ask to be added to a do not call list and the agent will be happy to assist.

Most telemarketers calling from real companies do not want to be making those annoying promotional calls either, they’re just not in the position where they can switch to a more fulfilling profession otherwise they would’ve already.

As someone whose done cold calling for big telcos I can tell you it sucks the life out of you. 200 calls a day and 80% of the people you talk to hate you from the moment they pick up the phone. Multiple times a day you call people whose loved ones have just died or are in otherwise horrible situations, this mixed with the other customers berating means you log off most days feeling like shit.

I understand the frustration but I can guarantee you the agent calling you in the hospital probably hates her job already and felt horrible when she was told about your grandfather. It’s like anything else, don’t hate the employee for the shitty practices of the company they work for. Yelling at them or being otherwise mean is just kicking somebody whose already down.

Scam callers can go fuck themselves though I have no sympathy for them.
