Default Just gotta shake your head sometimes.

Sitting in Discount Tire yesterday getting tires on the Vert. A younger guy comes in, actually quite normal looking, then he opened his mouth. He tells the tire guy "I need 3 tires balanced. I had a flat repaired a couple days ago at one of your other stores, so they balanced the top left, so I need the top right and the 2 bottoms ones balanced." I looked at the tire guy, we both quickly looked away from each other or we would have both lost it. Don't know how he got thru that conversation.

Back in the day when I worked at a Shell station we would sometimes ask people if they have add the winter air changed to summer air in their tires. And sometimes we would be asked how much to we charge to do that.
