This is not meant to insult or offend anyone who works at auto parts store, only here for entertainment purposes.
Here are few stories to get the ball rolling:
91-GS: Another parts store person once recommended JB Weld to seal up cracked cast exhaust header and i was dumb enough to try that. Next day i ordered a stainless header since the JB Weld not only not seal the crack, but started burning and filled the car with a terrible smell so it was barely drivable even with all windows open.
NHerron: Walked into Napa and asked for a certain part number spark plug (set), so I wouldn't have to go through the whole year-make-model process. Well they still insisted and I wanted to get outta there so I told them. I confirmed 4 cylinder turbo and waddya know the dork says "how many you want"
Gee I don't know, 4? I'll bang out the repair and let you know if I find it's a Hemi or something and need more
CrackedDSM: Kind of like when I was ordering a headgasket. We went through the whole year, make, model, etc. In the end he was like "we've got three here for $40 each...so two would be $80 and some change". Amused, I responded with "I only need one.." and he instantly responded with "Oh, you're only doing one side?" I kind of paused a little bit trying not to laugh at him and said, gently, "It's a four cylinder...". After hearing that, he hung up on me.
