New car buyer won't pay for pinstriped vehicle, dealership repaints his car overnight

'I went full Karen mode': New car haggler refuses to pay for pinstriped vehicle, dealership repaints his car overnight

Looking back on their new purchase in the 1990s, this person realized the car dealership got away with something intriguing. This is a story of a person buying a car in the 1990s, and one of the first things they claim is that these days, the “era of haggling” is over. Though I've never bought a car, I find that hard to believe. When purchasing a car, it's well known that people like to haggle with the salespeople to try and get a great deal for themselves. Meanwhile, the salespeople often have…

'Fifty years of malicious compliance': Man blames wife for late dinner, she decides to never drive again

Behold: one of the greatest examples of malicious compliance ever told. This Grandma's commitment to stubbornness is truly unmatched. Back in the 1950s, things were much different than they are now in almost every way. Back then, stereotypical gender roles were in full force, with women getting married, having lots of children, and running a household while raising the kiddies. Meanwhile, the man of the house would work a job. That's it. But that was considered the men's responsibility. Back th…

‘You say the vehicle works, so take it back’: Customer attempts to return vehicle due to malfunction, car dealership refuses to buy it back

‘You say the vehicle works, so take it back’: Customer attempts to return vehicle due to malfunction, car dealership refuses to buy it back

A car is the 2nd largest purchase you will make, aside from a house. Back in the 90s, car dealerships looked somewhat like a circus; all the balloons, streamers, inflatable wiggly men, the big price stickers on cars… but nowadays, car dealerships are supposedly more 'honest', more direct, and frankly, more concise in terms of financing. In this case, OP's car dealership was incompetent. OP's SUV was throwing error codes, so they took it to the dealership for them to take a look. After taking a…

‘I corrected his behavior; he never parked over the lines again’: Resident gets even with neighbor who dents his car in building parking spot and doesn't leave a note

‘I corrected his behavior; he never parked over the lines again’: Resident gets even with neighbor who dents his car in building parking spot and doesn't leave a note

Some buildings have assigned parking spaces for residents, which would solve a lot of issues, or so you'd think. In this case, one resident was unable to park correctly, as he constantly parked over the line, eventually denting OP's car. At first, before the denting occurred, OP was annoyed that his neighbor was constantly parking over the line, leaving OP little room to park. But after finding dents in his car, without a note, OP was livid. His neighbor was not only irresponsible, inconsiderat…

'She left with the most... smug grin on her face': Customer flips out on mechanic who warns that her steering wheel is about to break

This car had some major issues — for one, the steering wheel was about to break off. There's a stereotype about mechanics. Some people think mechanics are only interested in trying to get money out of them. They believe that instead of a quick fix that costs a few dollars, that their mechanic is actually trying to get them to spend thousands of dollars to perform unnecessary work . To be fair, some mechanics do operate this way, and it's hard to figure out who's right – you, the person who driv…

'Bad karma, buddy': Dude flips off neighbor after trying to park in someone else's assigned parking spot

'Bad karma, buddy': Dude flips off neighbor after trying to park in someone else's assigned parking spot

Contentious doesn't even begin to describe how people act about parking lots and getting the perfect spot. For many drivers, it's imperative to get a good spot, even if it takes some time of circling the lot, searching for a spot where no one else is parked too close. This lucky person, u/bizzzfire, wrote to r/AmItheA**hole with a question about a parking dispute. The OP writes that they were pretty sure they were doing the right thing by protecting their assigned spot, but after their interact…

If you drive, you already know how many people with licenses really shouldn't have received theirs.

'Well that's a pickle': Customer service rep puts driver on hold while pet cat is stuck inside locked car

'[They] lock you out of the car completely': Customer service rep puts driver on hold while pet cat is stuck inside locked car

Car sharing is a brilliant idea — you can rent out your car for others to use while you're not using the car yourself. As a car owner, you make some cash, and as a customer, you can drive a car that's already located near to you, without having to deal with a typical rental service. What could go wrong? It's just one of many new services run by apps in today's modern age. But since it is a rather new idea, there are still some kinks that need to be straightened out. Just check out the story of…

'Now you wait ten minutes': Guy gets cut off by smug driver, cue petty revenge

There's drama going down at the Wawa air pumps (and if you live in New Jersey, it's just another day). This driver shared their story of their run-in with an utterly infuriating woman who felt entitled to skip waiting in line . U/turtlesh0es wrote to r/pettyrevenge with an excellent tale from the air pumps at a store nearby. They went to fill up their tires — although the OP had an air compressor, they didn't want to wait for the slow machine, and chose to go to the gas station instead. While a…

'I feel taken advantage of': Car owner won't to lend his vehicle to neighbor, neighborhood turns on him

'I feel taken advantage of': Car owner refuses to lend his vehicle to single mom after she dents it, neighborhood turns on him

Always be cautious who you let drive your car . Vehicles are pricey not just to purchase, but also to maintain. After that initial purchase, you still have to fill it up with gas and deal with any fender benders that might occur. That's enough for one person to deal with, but this guy lent his car to his neighbor, and she is far from gentle with his car. The OP shared the story with r/AmItheA**hole, seeking judgement for if he's been too harsh about revoking this woman's car privileges. However…
