Dumb things sales man say? Or WTF?

[baylensman]

Been perusing some old posts trying to catch up, Seems that a lot of us have had humorous or just plain dumb things told to us by sales people.

Let's post a couple of gems here just for grins. I'll start

 

being told by a "youngish" motorcycle salesman that "only 2 strokes have carbs that's why they smoke so much"

 

Over heard at Sears in the Lawn and garden department "Only put premium fuel in your mower because it does n't have Ethanol in it"

 

At Staples being told "400 DPI printers have a higher Drawing to picture interface that the 300 DPI printer"

 

Probably my favorite at Home Depot " Front loading wash machines are for short people, because they can't reach all the way to the bottom of a standard washer"

A LOT of people think that premium fuel does not have Ethanol. Guess they don't bother to read the sticker on the pump!

***Previous Governor Jennifer Granholm of the State of Michigan after giving away thousands of jobs and trying to sell her new socialist economic ideas to her constituents: "You just wait 5 years - your gonna be blown away by Michigans economic recovery" = been 10 years,, still waiting,,, and waiting,,, and waitinggg..

 

***Rainbow Vacuum Cleaner salesman standing in Pucs garage while Tippy is inside doing laundry: "Any idea when the lady of the house would be available for me to show her this new $1400 vacuum cleaner"

 

***Puc and his child walking thru the store.. His kid see's a dollar bill on the store floor,, bends down to pick it up and the dollar bill moves away from him.. Puc hears teenagers laughing behind clothing rack and notices the fish line attached to the dollar bill leads to the clothing rack where the teens are hiding. Puc walks around isle, crosses between clothing, steps on fish line - can feel line pulling under his foot,, his child picks up dollar bill and Puc snaps it free of fish line and gives it to his kid.. Teenagers did not appreciate paying a dollar to see Pucs weird sense of humor..

Bought an 02 dodge 4x4 in spite of the salesman. He informed me it was not a 4x4 when I could clearly see it was. He told me it was just standard when I could see it had heavy duty suspension, factory tow hitch which meant heavy duty cooling etc.

Since it obviously did not have the things I wanted I got it cheap.

do the newer 4x4s still have the extra shift lever or are they all push button now?

I guess politicians are sales people of a sort, they sells us a bill of goods every couple of years.

Representative Diana DeGette on banning high capacity magazines.

 

Leading on issues she's totally ignorant about.

 

Asked how a ban on magazines holding more than 15 rounds would be effective in reducing gun violence, DeGette said:

“I will tell you these are ammunition, they’re bullets, so the people who have those know they’re going to shoot them, so if you ban them in the future, the number of these high capacity magazines is going to decrease dramatically over time because the bullets will have been shot and there won’t be any more available.”

.....and these people are our vaulted leaders.

 

Salesmen / women and politicians.....often there's not much difference between the two.

My 02 has a standard 5 speed and an extra lever for the 4x4 shift. 4x4 low, 4x4 high, neutral and 2 wheel drive. don't know about the newer ones.

Looking at a Dodge pickup truck at a dealer: Sales guy says, "Doesn't sound to me like you are committed to Dodge." I replied, "I thought that was your job." He didn't get the sale.

Just heard this one from my friend TJ he's new to the trucking biz. A lady screamed at him about not stopping quick enough, she said "It's so easy for you to stop, you have all that weight pulling you down!"

I love toying with salesmen. When I needed a new car Mike sent me looking for a "new" car he told me to find a 90s model caprice that was unmolested and still factory original. I did at the last dealership I went. Sticker was $10500, salesman offered it to me for 8000. I looked it over and it was clean. He admitted it needed a new radiator and springs on the rear which they would do when someone bought it for no extra cost. I brought Mike back a couple days later. He also liked it, the salesman couldn't remember what he quoted me, I told him $6000. He put it on paper for the bank before he realized his error. Too late, it was binding and I was off the lot and at the bank. Muhahahaha

 

As a sales person I chose to never bs customers, better to be honest than lie through my teeth.

Yes....But you bought something that obviously did not have the things you wanted. Hmmmmm, the salesman won.

According to the salesman it was a standard 2 wheel drive, not worth much. It actually had everything I wanted 4x4, 5 speed, heavy duty, tow package etc. so I took him at his word and bought it cheap.

Some years back, I was looking at a Pontiac Grand Am for my son, looking under the hood I ask where are the spark plugs on this thing? It had one of those plastic engine covers over the top of the engine and you couldn't see much. The young man said " these new model cars don't have spark plugs, it's all electronic":bang head:
