    Default Sitting here at Discount Tire

    Sitting here waiting to have $900 worth of tires put on my wife's vehicle. Can't get her to respond to phone calls, texts, or face time to come pick me up so I'm sitting here screwing around on my phone. I am listening to these people come in with their problems, complaints, and concerns.

    Man, people are idiots.

    Yeah, people at large can be pretty dumb. Proof is everywhere. For instance; on my deodorant it says "do not apply to eyes" .... REALLY? The worst part when I see things like this is that I know that enough people have tried this that it necessitates a warning NOT to do it.
    I don't make the rules. I just think them up and write them down.

    All it takes is for 1 idiot to do it and sue because the label didn't specifically say not to.

    Actually, I think that means that someone in either CA/NY/FL has done it with the intention of suing the manufacturer for a fat sum of money. Thank your local attorney for such warnings, if they didn't take frivolous lawsuits forward, we wouldn't have half the absurd warning labels that we now do.

    We need a new law that says if you use a product in a way that it doesn't say how to on the label, the manufacturer is not liable for any injury or death from mis-use. We need to stop trying to keep stupid people from doing stupid things and hurting themselves. Darwinism exists for a reason, we should not stand in the way.

    I was getting some new tires at Discount back in October when we had our first really cold morning. I wish I had a nickel for every person that came in because they had a dashboard indicator saying their tire pressure was low.

    My wife whines about that so much in cold weather my standard answer is pretty much STFU now.

    I wish I (my wife) didn't have those sensors. This is a current gen Wrangler. Ours went on yesterday. Apparently, they only last about 3 years is what she told me. I checked (and filled) all four tires to the point she'll be lucky to not be bouncing down the road. Still with the indicator light. I miss my old YJ.
