A few days ago I was having some work done at the local Ford Dealership. A blonde came in and asked for a seven-hundred-ten.
We all looked at each other and another customer asked, "What is a seven-hundred-ten?"
She replied, "You know, the little piece in the middle of the engine, I have lost it and need a new one." She said that she did not know what it was but this piece had always been there.
He gave her a piece of paper and a pen and asked her to draw what the piece looked like. She drew a circle and in the middle of it wrote 710. He then took her over to another car, which had its hood up and asked, "Is there a 710 on this car?"
She pointed and said, "Of course, it's right "there (http://womencentral.net/oil2.jpg)." (Click on the word "there".)
:giggle: :rollin: :nono: I'm Blond :grinno:
hehehe... Seriously, it remind me a friend who worked in a Mazda dealer as avisor...
A blonde woman showed up and ask why she was hearing a "GRRRRRRRRR" coming from under the car everytime she was turning right...
My friend got in the car and testdrived it... when he came back to the garage, Guess what he found...?
A ... when she was turning right, it was rolling under the seat and it was putting itself ON and OFF causing the vibration on the seats tracks... :giggle: :rollin:
All the guys laughed their ass off at this woman and they never saw her again since... :giggle:
hahahahaha, you are killing me boys !!!!!
That reminds me when a client enters and says "how many songs i can get to full a CD Audio" i answer "80 minutes,from 1 to 99, depending track lenght"
"You hear that bro?, we can get a 99 songs per Cd..."
I´ll send a postal message to sony to encourage them to put in their Cd´s a bigger 80 MINUTES STICKER ON THEIR BOXES......

That's a good one, I got that one in an e-mail a while back.
Stupid customer tricks are always funny. I've a few (true) stories myself:
- The Isuzu Trooper owner that had a major rattle in his dash. Opening the glove box revealed the cause of the rattle: About a dozen spoons. Seems the guy just tossed his spoons in the glove box when he was finished with them
- The Saturn owner that had a major wind whistle. I went out and rolled up his window, which was down about 1/8" - problem solved
- Another Saturn owner that had a clunking in the rear when going over bumps - miraculously, after I closed his slightly ajar rear door (it was on the first catch) the clunking went away
- Yet another Saturn owner that, about a week after buying his car, insisted that we replace his seats under warranty because they were not comfortable enough. Saturns had seats like Thunderbirds - base models had flat, cheap seats while uplevel models had side bolsters, lumbar support, etc (much like comparing the base to the TC/XR7 seats). He had bought a base model. Needless to say he didn't get new seats.
- Still sticking with Saturn owners and seats, there was the 400-pound woman that complained about her seats being too hard. I drove the car into the shop and lo, the seats were indeed hard. Very hard. No springiness at all. I stripped the upholstry off them and found the cause - a piece of 3/8" plywood neatly cut and inserted into each frame. I brought the plywood out into the showroom to show the customer and she said "Oh, my husband put those in there because the springs kept breaking".
- The GM truck owner that complained that his truck was acting strange going through turns on dry pavement. As soon as I got into the truck and saw the 4WD light on I knew the problem, so I set abouot educating the owner on how and when to use 4WD. He complained that his previous vehicle worked fine in 4WD on dry pavement. His previous vehicle? A Subaru Outback SUS (the four-door pickup ugly thing).
- And one final Saturn story - the woman that was a real nutcase about Saturns - her plate said "DIFFCO" and her mother's, also a Saturn, said "DIFFCAR" (Remember their old tag line - different kind of company, different kind of car). Anyway, she bought a new '97 SC2 coupe. She was happy as hell until the '98 came out a few months later, with three doors. She expected the dealership to trade her two-door for a three-door because they didn't tell her a three-door was coming out when she bought her car
Customers can be such bone heads...
Carm, all you have to say is 'Saturn owners' and we understand completely. ;)
All very good stories.
try computer stories.. all the jokes you hear about how DUMB people can be around computers are true, even for people that use them ALL day long EVERY day..
