haha that is funny, maybe one of the reasons they went under...

Well he could have pegged you for being naive...ha I had that happen once and I asked for it.

We were driving by a car lot the one day and my husband seen one he liked...I did to but the place was closed so we figured we would come back another day. Me being the nice wife that I am decided to go back while he was at work. 30 minutes later I had signed the forms, got the loan from the bank and left with the car

What makes this story so great is when I left the lot after signing the forms that was the first time I had driven it. I bought it without going for a test drive. First time I ever bought a car by myself, and assumed that newer was better...didnt worry about milage so long as it was recent..only two years old at the time but had 120K on it.

1 year later and there was a hole in the roof starting..the tranny was going (yes I know that sound), the automatic stuff like wipers and windows went in the same month and I hadnt even got it to 160K

So what does a good wife do....she sells it on ebay ..ha

anyway long story short...some people assume others are naive and prey on them

Lol, good story Kaus! I actually tried being a car salesman for 3 weeks and hated it. The dealership I had worked at was ridiculously aggressive.

They were like "get their keys, get their registration, don't let them leave the lot without buying a car!"

And they had this four square system of presenting the numbers (price of car, price of your trade-in, down-payment and monthly payment) to make people think they were getting a good deal, when in fact they were still paying the same price for the car, just the monthly payments and down payments were being fudged with.

I hated that job.

ha I worked for a guy like that once. It was in highschool at a shoe/sports store. There was a footlocker like 10 stores down and my manager hate them with a passion. He used to be the district manager but got fired and store manager took his position. He was that bad that his slogan on his white board was FootLocker Goes Under!. He would make us literally ask people what they bought at the other store than swing them a deal if they would return it. How would he know if you did it or not. Because of those stupid head sets they made us wear which he would ask you make sure your button is pushed to listen. It was ridiculous and one of the reasons I hated retail shit. I know entirely different scope from selling $150 shoes to a $40,000 car but humilating none the less.

I have a few friends who've worked in retail management and they've all hated it
