Is it normal to hate almost everyone i meet (please read)

I Know I'm not in the most honest profession in the world but hear me out. I took a job running a friend of mines car dealership a few months back. I have been in sales for years and have started really just hating most if the people I met years ago but now it's to the point I just start telling people how dumb they really are. For example 1. A couple comes on the lot asking the price of a 2002 Corvette, I reply 18500 but depending on trade in or how they will obtain financing we can work on the price. Now granted I'm not your normal everyday car salesman, I know what markup I have and the lowest I can go. So anyway they have no trade and say the usual "what's your lowest CASH price" so I tell them 17000 out the door which includes taxes is the vest price. They want to take it for a test drive and think about it so of course I let them and an hour later they get back. The first thing out if his wives dumb ass mouth is " I think we will take it, now we don't have any money down now but he goes back to work next month so payments won't be a problem. Our credit sucks but we can make up to a 300 payment every month to you guys ". WTF is wrong with these idiots, I felt like smacking him and her. This shit happens every day. People cone on to the lot thinking with 500 down and shitty ass credit that were dumb enough to give them a really nice vehicle. To all out there who doesn't know how this works. If you have shirty credit and never paid anyone on time if you did pay at all, what makes you think you can choose the nicest shit out there With hardly nothing down. Your lucky to be able to get anything because your probably not going to pay anyway by your past history. Your gonna get a 2000 car for 3995 and your gonna need 1000 down to get it. When you earn the right to negotiate a deal you can get one, until then you can have what any buy here pay here lot tells you and that is all you deserve. To the few out there that actually pay thier bills, you deserve a good deal and will get one. I really just feel like 90 percent of the idiots that walk on the lot are stupid and it really makes me hate most of our human race.

    You should watch Clerks. Lots of examples of customer idiocy in there. And a very funny film. At least you'll know you're not alone.

    I used to do IT support and you wouldn't believe some of the things people did. I asked someone to send me a copy of a CD-ROM. They photocopied it and sent me that.

    I went to see someone who said his mouse pointer went the opposite way to the way he moved his mouse. Well, yeah, seeing as how he had his mouse with the tail pointing towards him. I told him it was upside down and then he turned the mouse on its back and tried moving the ball about with his finger.

    Some guy said that whenever he typed "i", he'd also get a space. Yeah, Courier isn't a proportional font.

    The best was a woman who wanted to be talked through a software installation over the phone. I was talking to her for fifteen minutes when I asked her what she could then see on the screen. "Oh, I don't have a screen. Do I need one?" she says. Two minutes after that, it transpires she didn't even have the computer turned on.

        lol, and scarily it's all true. I only did it a couple of years and couldn't believe how computer-illiterate some people were.

        Someone had got hold of an old 5¼" disk (God knows where from) and because it wouldn't fit in a 3½" drive, they folded it in half and pushed it in like that.

        I told one of my co-workers that a wireless power supply had been invented. I was just joking but he believed it and probably still scours the internet looking for them.

        I told one guy to back up all his documents to an external hard drive. First off, he cut and pasted rather than copied and pasted. Second, he included the Windows directory. Halfway through, Windows crashed fairly fatally, as you'd expect.

        One woman said that the computer was losing her documents. It took a whole day to get to the bottom of that. Turns out she just wasn't saving them. She was just turning the computer off. She was used to typewriters where, once something was on the paper, there it stayed.

        One woman was given an inkjet printer and said it printed everything in black and white. It wasn't a colour printer. She phoned back a week later and said it wouldn't scan documents. It wasn't a scanner. She asked whether it could photocopy then. No, it's not a photocopier.

        A man brought his PS2 in to be fixed and a colleague had someone ask him whether he could fix their kettle.

        A friend asked me to fix her laptop but she's Portuguese and her language settings were Portuguese. She didn't know how to set it to English and I don't know Portuguese. She had to translate everything. Very weird using a computer via a translator.

        One foreign woman complained that her computer was "bague" (rhymes with vague) and that everyone else's wasn't. I didn't know what bague was until I got there. She meant beige. Everyone else had a black computer.

          You'd have to meet my mum then - she's the most computer illiterate person in the world. I daren't try to teach her about drag and drop in case she throws the laptop on the floor! The other day she was complaining that she couldn't save her photos to a DVD disc because the dvds are thicker than the cds she has! duh! She's always coming up with chesnuts like these...

            Can't be any worse than my mum. When Lady Gaga was on the Royal Command Performance, she announced that Radio Gaga was singing later. And she thinks Angelina Jolie is a woman called Angela whose middle name is Julie.

    I think the title of your post is wrong - I thought you were a 'Hate the World' but it's just your daft customers. I think people just expect to get whatever they want and paying for it doesn't occur to them! Plastic cards aren't real money to most people either.

    Dappled. I worked in IBM and when someone bought a new PC and turned it on, it said, "Say hello to your new IBM PC." A lady rang up to complain that nothing was happening no matter how often she said, "Hello! Hello! Hello!" to it :o)

  • People nowadays are like that. They're so financially dumb it makes me want to slap them all. If you're struggling, then why the hell are you renting nice cars? If you have time to do that, then go get a freaking job or another one coz ones clearly not enough. Or go to school or something. I swear this credit thing is just making idiots more acceptable. Shun these bastards or they'll never learn.

    ^ I agree with naga above. I was just going to say that this same mindset is what caused the housing market to collapse. It makes no sense. And yet I have friends (smart ones, I'd say) who bought way more house than they can actually afford and are struggling to keep it. And the bank let them do it.

    Perhaps car salesmen should take over for real estate agents since they understand the concept of credit history, eh?

    This isn't even a question. It's completely normal, you work in retail so it's no wonder you're becoming more hateful. I've never worked a real job in my life and I still would be swearing at that couple.

    I hate almost everyone I meet. I think it's TOTALLY normal. Is it acceptable, or ok? Probably not. Just remember; not everyone can be as smart as you. Perhaps you could try a little sympathy. I always told my kids to feel sorry for people less fortunate in the intellect department.

    I too feel your pain.
    I didn't even pass math at college (I'm still excellent with it, but didn't find it needed) and I know what good and bad credit means.
    A couple of idiots I know, have went onto the 'littlewoods' craze, now one of them is £6000 in dept, and I sit back and giggle with a huge 'I told you so' grin on my face.
    But do they listen? No because they are idiots!
    Stupid people discust me and tbh should be shot. *hands up who want to be the shooter'
    But we have the handle them, why because whoever votes to be the shooter will eventually be caught and put to prison.

    As for the club joining here. That's awesome. You guys can cuddle together now and leave your mommas alone. Im sure they would appreciate that. But really your mommas probably would lie down with anyone who would take them. Gross but true

    Just want to add. Anyone like crymbo who is that stupid probably sleeps with his white trash poor mother who gives it out to every other stupid piece of trash that is negative on this post. Now you all curl up with your mommas and give them a kiss for me as that's the only action you will get from a woman. Sick but true

    Remember what your job is. I'm sure all car salesmen have to deal with nonsense everyday. You're either gonna have to learn to deal with it, or just find a new profession. But honestly, there's really annoying people everywhere you go, and at almost any job you're gonna have to deal with it.

    Sometimes you have to bow to them in order to keep them coming. Its unfortunate, but a lot of these people that you might not like are the ones who keep the business going.

    Well I can imagine how frustrating that must be! I don't work at a car dealership, but my sister used to, and I worked there for about a week covering for her. I also couldn't believe how dumb some people were. And not just there, whenever I'm trying to have a conversation with someone they never know what I'm talking about. And when I try explaining things, or just saying things to try to get them to be a little smarter, they always give me this weird look like "Freaky genius, get away from me". I'm not a genius, they are all just stupid. However, you shouldn't hate the whole human race for that. Luckily, not all people are stupid.

    Just wanted to state, anyone with negative comments on this subject are probably as stupid or related to the stupid idiots I'm writing about. Now go cuddle in bed with tour mother like the soccerfag who posted and realize this country would be much better off if you had to be Approved before your allowed to breed. Sorry but very few on this post would make the cut.

    I think that you shouldnt get so upset about it and tell them up-front that they need to have a certain amount of credit in order to have the car. Now, some people really don't know about that kind of stuff, Like I didn't have any credit when I bought my car and I wanted a brand new car, I ended buying a used car and The guy at the lot with the new cars was the used cars guys brother-in-law and I bought and payed off my car, so just cause I didn't know doesnt make me stupid, I know I can afford my crap. I was just young and didn't know the importance of credit yet. You should try to help people understand more about credit, ya know, it might really help them, and you wouldn't hate them so much, I mean just cause you don't know something, like thinking nice things about people, doesn't mean you cant learn, make sense? it is normal to get frustrated but in the end you are just going to make yourself miserable and angry when it really doesnt have to be like that.
