It's not a crime to be inexperienced, it's just very bad when you don't even know it. You find some really good eggs out there, but most people are pretty goofy. Play your own game well and you'll do just fine!
Yes, ethanol, a close relative. Methanol is a type of alcohol used in model airplane fuel. Mistyped.
I feel for ya Space, I really do, a person does not have to be in retail to experience those things man. I am just a dumbass old mechanic and customers look at me in a similar fashion, like ,WTF does he know and have smelly attitudes that go along with their superior feelings.The shoe is on the other foot when they need me to fix their Fubars and neglected equipment, that`s when ya can hit em where it really hurts.

Fellow comes in Christmas Eve at 5 pm and states that ever since we changed his sparkplugs that his rear brakes squeal and shimmy under heavy braking, never had the problem before the tune up so we must have fubared something, I try to tell him that a tune up has nothing to do with the brakes but some of his friends say that whenever they take a vehicle in for service work a problem always shows up right after. The mechanic gets blamed for doing something to make sure he gets more work in the near future.
Pulled the wheels off yesterday and showed him his worn out brake pads and deeply scored rotors, then asked him if he thought I could do this much damage in the hour I worked on the vehicle. He is going to take it to Midas and see what they think. LOL

Ya, its a little frustrating at times isn't it. You got to be pretty blunt with people sometimes.
Sometimes discretion is the better part of valor when it comes to trying to get an arogant ignoramous to listen to good advice. I follow this rule:
Don't get into a mud-wrestling match with a pig.
1--You end up getting all muddy; and
2--the pig likes it!!
:agree2:Folks as you describe, are the reason they put the "C" and "H" on shower knobs and caused the end of Lawn Darts.
The joke's on him anyways when he fries his saw and/ or trashes it to the point where it won't even cut and has to buy another one..
