Hi gang its me again. Been a busy day her in my world but I wanted to stop and take a moment to comment on how fucking annoying old people are. Seems like a good portion of them have this inability to rationalize and listen to the younger folk.
Let me tell you a little story about this old jackass I work with.
Old dipshit: I can't afford my vehicle anymore and I'm gonna let it go back would you consider selling me your truck for cash and a few payments?
Me: Is it possible to trade your vehicle? What do you owe?
come to find out he's way upside down so trading won't work.
Me: Hows your credit otherwise have you considered purchasing something cheaper to make this work.
Old fella: I have great credit but can no longer afford this car since I'm old and working for pennies. ::long story about his life ensues for 20 minutes :rolleyes::
He's old so he thinks he has only a few years left and letting his car get repo'd isn't a concern of his. Which is fine by me but paying cash for some piece of shit truck or car is only going to make it more difficult on him later. He's too broken down to work on vehicles himself and he's considering these 2k and 3k junkers that'll probably stick him with repair after repair.
Me: Can you afford 200 dollar payments?
Old Tard: Yeah I can do that you know anyone that will take payments.
Me: yeah I do listen up.
Me: Don't let the car go just yet. Instead of trying to buy a running piece of shit just take your good credit and go buy a cheap 7 or 8 thousand dollar car or truck from a dealership and cut your payments in half, make sure to get a 4 year warranty with it. Then let your current vehicle be repo'd. This way you have a good reliable vehicle with warranty and you won't be stuck with a piece of shit once your current ride gets picked up.
Old jackass: na I just want something cheap for cash and maybe a couple of years of payments...like from an individual.
Me: whatever you want guy its your dollar.
I told the old lady I worked with to tell him what I said so he doesn't end up fucking himself over with some junker. Sure enough he listened to her because she's older. Dudes going to pick up a nice 04 Dakota sometime at lunch today. 59k miles 4 year warranty 6,800 bucks and he's already approved. Its like a 40 month loan. Way better off than some shit ride.
Going from a 680 dollar payment down to under 200 bucks. Not that I agree with the methods but there's no way for this guy to get out from underneath his current ride. Poor old fella only makes 900 a month working here plus his 400 in SS. I knew he was scraping by.
He then proceeded to thank the old lady in the office for helping him, bought her lunch and all kinds of shit. It kinda pissed me off because he knows damn well it was my idea in the first place.
Whats the deal with these guys refusing to listen to anyone but their own kind. This old fucker never listens to me I always have to tell the old lady co-worker to relay the info.
Let me know if these worthless stories are too long or if I need to make them longer.
