You've become jaded, Jeremy. You're becoming the new Majofo.

I hear what you're saying though. I think all of us are more or less in the same boat. I will respond if I see a good question, but sometimes I can't help but just shake my head at what people ask. Them not searching also really annoys me. Man, the search button has been my saving grace over the last two months of working on the TL. All it takes is 2 minutes of searching.

I used to be an asshole to those types of members. These days I just leave the thread

Dude...it's basic courtesy...
please help.
thank you for your help, I was lost.

I've seen it so many times...
never posts or shares or helps...pops into something like the ramblings thread for attention, you go help, then they post okay figured it out, i fixed it...and never see them again.
I mean, there's no such thing as an altruistic act, right? Because I helped and had an expectation of courtesy but over time...I'm getting to be the type to ignore those posts and members.

I hear you. It's crazy how many new members sign up everyday on as, yet 98% never post. Fucking Weird. Why even bother creating an account?

Most people sign up because they have 1 issue with their car and are never seen/heard from again. Most of the time I read their questions with this look of my face like, WTF are you thinking? or You should probably sell the car and get a bus pass... It is amazing how incompetent people are but yet want to do a timing belt change. Even myself being quite mechanical I will shell out the clams to have the job done.

Wifey wants to go see FF8.

I don't. I remember when they used to be about driving cars. Now it's about everything else with a sprinkling of exotics into the mix.

The 1st movie was awesome. Tokyo Drift was alright too. But I dunno... the whole action hero thing is getting to be too much for this series.

I know... it's just entertainment... but I don't wanna go!!! :poopmypants: :crysomemore:

and btw, sometimes i love your responses. i'm like YES! BREEZY taking one for the team!
and I always forget that we are car people. like to us, it's common sense to do a certain task to troubleshoot.
for others, maybe they have never been taught to investigate problems on their own

Some days there is just too much stupid going on and someone wins a prize. I know we all think it. Some days I just hit back before I blow up on the next contestant. Should do that more often, nothing to see here.

Shorter fuses are fine. It's all in how you wiggle it.

And strategic placement of the load so when it blows you get maximum effect.

Or something.

Something about having a short fuse and running around half-cocked.

Well, it may *not* have been a lowered green 240sx, but perhaps a car like that.

I was actually going to try opening my door and then maneuver another car into position to see if it's possible. But then I realized that I'm not a total assclown moron and that it isn't possible.

I spent the rest of the weekend basically patting myself on the back and remarking at how clever I am for not doing un-necessary un-necessary work.

This morning I woke up and realized I'm sick. Also, I don't feel well either. I think someone at work was contagious with dumb.
