i helped a guy get his car thru the MOT the other day.. the guy who lives with my live apart wife on a boat.. she left me years ago.. i wonder why. .he he
anyways the car has been stood unused for four years.. brakes all seized up and the usual stuff.. the car is jacked up.. the guy (bob) covered in dirt underneath following my instructions.. lots of work needed doing.. nice to give out orders and watch someone else do it..
anyways.. a clever know it all bugger who knows nothing walks up and asks bob.. what he is doing.. i tell him.. bob is busy.. the guys say "what i would do it is put it all back together and drive it around to heat the brakes up"
i look at the guy and say what u would do would be waste of time the job needs doing properly.. the guy dosnt take the hint.. i have to get a little firmer.. in the end i have to offend the silly bugger to get rid of him..
half an hour later another know it all bugger who knows nothing comes up... i have to offend that one as well.. he he
soon the ex wife comes to see the progress.. its her car.. i look at her with a smile on my face and say i am doing well here i have only offended two of your friends in the two hours i have been here.. she smiles back..
bob is quietly getting on with the work under the car.. i look at bob and say.. its bloody hard being the only guy who knows what he is talking about and surrounded by know it all buggers who dont.. bob grins..
some might think anyones opinion is the same as anyone elses.. some wiser ones know differently.. he he
but respect does have to be earned.. something that on a forum is hard to do.. in real life its easier.. in real life i can bite harder..
