They're the ones that said my bald tires were going to kill me & the kids. Very sensitive. Even my paranoid Dad said they were fine. And my husband. And Stephanie's Stu. You did good, stealing the popcorn & waiting. Because, really? How are you supposed to know? This sounds suspiciously like Les Schwab to me.

I don't even mess with the car stuff anymore, I leave it up to Dave. Although Dave knows less about cars than I do. I changed the alternator in my car once when I was 23. MY ALTERNATOR. (That's what you do when you have a whole weekend, very little money and you HAVE to get to work on Monday - you ride the bus to go buy a refurbished alternator and a book about how to do it and you do it.)

When I went to have my hair done two weeks ago I was charged an extra $35 for a gloss after my shampoo. While I was under the sink having my head massaged they never once mentioned that this was going to cost extra and it wasn't until I checked out that my $85 dollar doo was bumped to $120, but like an idiot I didn't want to complain so I walked out with tha sick feeling in my stomach knowing I had just gotten screwed! I'm a total sucker, and yes I know I should have gone back and demanded my money but again it goes back to me being a sucker! =) I empathize with you.

Glossier than usual. I was going to say something... but then I said something about you looking all thin and lovely instead... @Leslie- I'm so impressed! Car skills?? Who knew? Chalk it up to your many talents, chick! @MamaMilton- It was actually Big O tires… but I think there is just some code among tire companies that they take advantage of unsuspecting women!
