I have several alterations of my name.
BigAls87Z28 has been my name from TGO, and it stuck. On TGO, I used to have it all lower case, and people would think that my name ment "Bi-Gals" and that I was 2 bisexual women that owned a 87 Z28. People were exicited to meet me at TGO Nats and wanted a room next to "The Bi Gals".

As for what pisses me off, little things at work. Biggest thing is people and brakes.
Let me get this out now, and that we at Sears go by the Motorist Assurance Program, or MAP. This gives us guidlines on to what we can suggest you replace and what we require you to replace. Many shops use this, and its something so that many shops can follow these same rules.
We dont have a price for brakes. We dont do a standard package, ok? We also dont give price quotes on brakes, because if I tell you a price, you are gunna remember THAT price, and after we take a look at your brakes, and find there is more stuff wrong, you will bitch and moan about it being more all of a sudden.
So what we do is a brake evaluation. Right now, its FREE!! That means you dont pay me anything!! NOT A RED CENT!! Nothing. It normaly is 15 dollars, and we waive it if the brakes are done.
COUNTLESS people come in and ask me how much is it for brakes. They dont give me a car, they dont give me anything, and Im just supposed to spit out a price? How do they know wha they need? Are they mechanics? If so, why dont THEY do it? They just expect me not to care about the saftey of them and others around them, and just go ahead and slap some 40 dollar pads on there car, and send them on there way?
This isnt Billy Bob's Garage, this is a major auto service center, and I am a professional. Want to slap pads on your car with thin, warped rotors? Go to Pep Boys, buy 20 dollar pads, and do it yourself. And when you crash into a bus full of nuns, I hope the last thing that went through your head was me telling you what you needed to be SAFE.
Im bent out of shape and I didnt even go to work today.
