While I’ll grant that the internet is full-to-the-brim of trolls and haters, shouldn’t the overwhelming response to your story make you question that your version of reality is not the same as that shared by everyone else? Would you continue to insist that the sky is green if everyone else agreed that it was blue?

Your dad may very well have worked hard to earn his money. That in no way automatically excludes him from being a dick. I’m glad he eventually got the car he wanted for the price he wanted, and I hope he enjoyed it, and if he still has it, or you have it now, you are both still enjoying it. But having said that, on…

To be fair, if that really happened then I would bet 20k that the sales executive, whilst confused and probably momentarily offended, just ended up laughing about it over lunch with the other execs, they all referred to your dad as a dick, and then they went on and enjoyed the rest of their day selling cars to serious…

What makes you say the dealership owner is a rich asshole? Do you personally know them? My grandfather went from being a lot boy at 18 to the owner of his own Ford dealership in his 50's and up. Would you make the same comment about my grandfather who started from literally nothing to a multi million dollar business?…

Your dad is an ass. First he rudely interrupted a salesman who was greeting you, second he acted as if the salesman was the one who set the prices, and third you waisted the time of the people at the dealership. You should have called ahead and asked for the price. Who the hell really is that rude to salesman who…

Now while I agree that salespeople can be sleazy and conniving, you should realize that the markup would have been set at the management level. A salesman is just the agent. I’m a bit disturbed that you and your father found pleasure in seeing the salesman “[walk] away with his tail between his legs,” as opposed to…

Holding up your hand in a stop motion to someone who’s greeting you is simply rude. I bet your dad likes to snap his fingers at waiters as well.

So, the outcome (dad didn't buy the car that day) was exactly the same as it would have been had he not been an ass about it.

Your dad’s “solution” is the mark of an arrogant asshole with nothing better to do than waste people’s time who actually work for a living. Fuck your dad.

Your dad sounds like an asshole.
