RE: scumbag!!!!!!!
Awesome!
I love it when people make generalizations about me or my family. It always serves as an opportunity to teach them a small lesson.
One quick example: Right after my wife got her hanicapped parking plackard, we parked in one of the spaces outside a local quicky-mart. I went around to her side and helped her out of the cage; she was standing there holding my arm as this guy walked out and looked us over pretty closely.
"You don't look handicapped" was his comment. My 10 year old son was pullingmy wife's wheelchair out of the back of the car and withoutmissing a beat, he said "Well you don't lookSTUPID . . . but apparently looks aren't everything!"
The guy just stood there with his mouth hanging open.
All I could do was laugh . . . Really loud.

RE: scumbag!!!!!!!
I may be wrong but I think the ops wife is a realtor or banker and the old farts were there doing bussiness with her, as in they were trying to buy a house.
Screw the old bat! should have told her to mind her own damn bussiness!

Funny thinghappened to me a fewyears ago, I rode my bike to a local Ford dealership to buy a new truck...had on leather & was a bit dirty from a few hours on the road. Icouldn't get asalesperson to even talk to me. Long story short...the next day I went thereafter work, this time wearing a suit, and was practicallyjumped by one of thesales guys from before(he didn't recognize me).I refreshed his memory &advised himto notjudge a book by its cover or he'd lose more business than just mine.
I left and bought mynew truck from another dealer a few miles down the road. Thedealer that wouldn't help me is now out of business. [sm=lildevil.gif]

RE: scumbag!!!!!!!
It's weird because I had the exact opposite happen to me a couple of weeks ago. Took a wrong turn, ended up going along one of the lakes and thought, "Screw it. It's a nice day and I'm not in any hurry to get anywhere." So I come up on an Open House by a real estate company. This was towards the end of my ride and I was pretty road-grimed. Decent place, nice waterfront, 2-car garage, pole barn, etc. Swung around to take a look. Now the couple that was there with the mother-in-law that was looking at the place cast a couple glances my way, but the real-estate lady was very cordial. I checked the joint out, asked some pertinent questions, signed her book and left after a nice conversation. The next day, I had an e-mail from her and the day after a letter. I went back the following weekend with my wife to take another look and we're contemplating the place right now.

RE: scumbag!!!!!!!
My late Father -in-law worked in an upscale bicycle shop, both selling, and repairing. He always said "never judge a book by it's cover". He'd seen ratty looking guys walk in and end up selling them a 1700.00 racing bike.
When I was 20, I bought my first new car, a 1977 Olds Cutlass Salon, loaded, T-tops and all. My brother in law drove me to the dealer in his brand new 1977 Trans Am. I had long hair, beard, wearing jeans. We walk in, 4 salesmen are standing around talking while I look at cars in the showroom. None made a move to see if I needed any help. Then I notice another salesman come out from the backroom area, and say something to one of the salesmen and nod towards me. The salesman he asked just shrugged his shoulders. So this other salesman ends up selling me an $8000.00 car, (big $$ back then). He also told me they were having a sales contest and he was pretty sure his sale to me put him over the top.
