Clueless Relative + First Saw = A Good Read

[Sprintcar]

Ah hell sprintcar, that was uncalled for. I have a tendency to go overboard sometimes. You have my apologies.

LMAO, come on Space, it's gonna take alot more than that to gets me rilled up. Just wanted to see what all the posters on this joint would say. You guys are right, most buyers don't want to get the third degree when buying a saw. I think about the three or four college boys after a storm running a brand new box store Husky 350 with the chain on backwards, and no bar oil.



repped.

Ya know, I got a chuckle as I was writing the original post. But you guy gave me some good belly laughs with the last few posts. In all fairness, let me firm up some aspects on both sides of the story. Then you's can all base your decision of responsibility on that. I'll give a point to each side with each comment.

The dealer could have taught him how to use his saw.

He's nearly double my age and was probably embarrassed when I corrected him. So he may have lied about lack of dealer training. That I will never truly know.
+1 Dealer

Seeing a college professor walk into a shop in penny loafers, khaki pants, and a golf shirt with perfectly manicured finger nails should have alarmed the dealer, alerting him to the need for 'extra help'.
+1 Uncle Andy

He has a doctorate in clinical psychology and is a book genius, so he most likely yessed the dealer to death and skirted through any training because he's a know-it-all. Also he wouldn't read an owner's manual because he's a doctor and his title alone says he's smart enough not to have to read directions.
+1 Dealer

So let's put all that in the pipe and smoke it, boys. :msp_biggrin:

Hey I am a college boy! Sometimes common sense just doesn't sink in even if the dealer explains everything because the average person is pissed off because they just think they spent too much $$$ on the saw and the dealer is trying to rake them over the coals to get more $ in their pocket by selling the B/C oil and 50:1 pre-mix.

Yep, me too. I go down to the alleged institution of higher learning called the University of Nebraska and take a political science course just to piss off the professors and mess with the young fertile minds that think they are going to save the world from us evil republicans. Most of the kids really think going to college is a right that society owes them. I tell them before you go out to change the world, learn the meaning of a dollar, go work for minimum wage for a while, and tell your mummy and daddy how grateful you are that they raised a spoiled brat and after you get your degree go spend four years in the U.S. military as an enlisted man. Then you can go change the world.

I can agree with that, Sprint. Many moons ago in engineering school, I pissed off many a professor with my non-tree-hugging views and devil's-advocate responses to all the high-horse retoric being spewed to me from the collegiate pulpit. Needless to say, it was great fun! :jester:
