rant of the day...

so you take your car in cuz it's making this really annoying, somewhat embarrassing (in that "you might be a redneck if..." kind of way) noise. turns out your power steering fluid just needed to be flushed. oh and that you have all sorts of things here and there that really should be done. ya know, to save yourself from future, bigger, problems. alright people. so not fair. you know i'm a bit of a push over. you know i can't just take my car in and say ok, thanks, i'll bring it back later (when really i'm just going to take it to a non-dealership service place and have them fix it for me). you also know i want to get the things like my light cover fixed before getting my cv boots replaced. b/c hello...no one sees the cv boots. i don't care how worn or split those are. they aren't on the outside of the car! ( wow! that was a reeeally girly comment)

boo-hiss.

so i have to pick and choose. not everyone has money trees in their backyards. or in their pants. only lizzie has those. (holla!)

so now comes the moola-factor. parts: 50 cents. labor: your unborn child. oh and your soul.

are you kidding me?!

i'm sorry, but any job where the people are called "grease monkeys" and can be represented by john travolta and his ghey buddies in leotards dancing around singing a song called "grease lightning" does not deserve my money. how in the world do mechanics get paid so much? i mean seriously people. what the hell is this "labor" you're talking about? sure it takes time and effort to fix a girl's cv boots, but no way is it worth freakin-a-hundred-bucks/hr, man! (ok, so it's prolly more like 65...but come on!!)

what was i thinking back in high school when i decided to graduate rather than drop out, get my g.e.d. and head to mechanics 'r us for a seminar called 'how to rob people blind by fixing their car b/c they're too lazy to learn how to do it themselves."

here's what i'm thinking... since men (and the occassional woman) get paid so much for so called "labor" then women (sorry men you're s.o.l. on this one) should get paid for the "labor" they go through after nine months of carrying a freakin' watermelon in their poonchacas.

i'm just sayin'.
