...it’s almost as if we live in a nation with precious little respect or protection for regular working people!

We’re. Being. Gouged. 

Quit farting around with yokes.

Before we met, (and while she was single with no kids) my wife wanted a Kia Sorrento. She went to both Kia dealers in town, and both flat-out refused to sell her one. They both condescendingly told her that since she didn’t have kids, she should go for something smaller. She had money and good credit, but they…

Wow.
I’m glad things are going well for you.
Um.

Could I borrow a few bucks?
Who am I kidding, could I have some money?
I’m not good for it, at all, check my credit, but!
I could draw you a great cartoon!
It’d cheer you up, I swear.

The international banking industry is a conspiracy designed to keep the worker bees in their lane, and allow the moneyed elite to play with their lives for fun and profit. Credit agencies are part of that system. And I say this as someone who has worked hard enough to have an 850 score. I go to a dealership to shop a…

Also, call these places and ask them if they are able to get those hard pulls removed! This is something weve been able to do for customers!

This is awful. They should have been more transparent. I imagine the process works largely the same as in the car business, and it looks like you had two sales managers that decided to “Shotgun” you. Which is basically, just firing your credit off to whatever banks thier system allows them to click on, and hope they…

I flogged the living daylights out of my fiancée’s former HHR and it handled the road just fine. Heck, it even had a higher top speed than any normal PT Cruiser that I’ve driven.

The ship has a capacity of 12,000 TEU, though I don’t know if that is by weight or just safe stacking height. The TEU is a volumetric measure based on a 20 foot container length.

This feels like old Jalopnik and I am here for it...

The truly greedy ones were Ethiopian - they took delivery of the accident aircraft after the preliminary report from Lion Air came out and after the Emergency AD and the FCOM (Flight Crew Operating Manual) updates telling exactly how to handle the problem.

Dealerships: “Why don’t people want to buy from us?”

My first dealer experience alone as a young adult was with Napleton Hyundai in the Chicago burbs ~10 years ago, and this definitely tracks. I kept having to turn things down and the F&I guy was getting annoyed with me reading every word of the contract, google some of the phrases on my phone, and asking some questions…

Retired electrician here. I’ve seen this happen a few times. I once wired a group of temporary office trailers on a school construction site. The power company shows up and hooks my little trailer village into the smallest pole transformer I had even seen. I ask the lineman what was going on? He tells me that it’s so…

It’s a slooooooaaaaaow pump...

“(If you’ve seen this episode of Tank Savvy Minute, you can skip it.)“

In the early 2000s I worked at a16 pump gas station, and the pumps would run slow when we had a lot of cars. It was enough of a problem that Corporate sent repair guys out several times. Filters got changed, pumps checked, all sort of stuff, with no effect. I have no idea how it was finally discovered, but the problem…

The #1 cause of fuel pumps being slow is that I’m already late to wherever I’m heading.

The one that pisses me off most is when the pump shuts off every 5 seconds or so because that stupid fume cover thing isn’t seated right. Some are super sensitive and the slightest little misalignment freaks it out.
