I would understand charging a lot if you spent a long time diagnosing the car or had to do something complicated to do it, and I can agree that usually a mechanic would be justified charging like that if he had to do some amount of work. What I'm talking about are the guys like my mom's friend who hears something loose, tightens effortlessly it in under thirty seconds and charges $45. That's pretty crooked if you ask me. I wish I made fifty bucks for doing almost no work.
Will it never end? More lame customer moves.

We had a customer today who (i was moving some rectic rays) asked me to catch him 2 baby (1.5") oscars. I asked him how big his tank is, he said 3x1x1, i sad it would outgrow it in aout 6 months, and i showed him a couple of 10" oscars that we had instock, and he said it wont get that big fish dont. (i was pretty pissed) I bagged him them up anyways, then he askedfor 10 neons and 4 molly, I said are they for the same tank and hesaid yes. I explained how the oscar will outgrow and eat them!
He just took the oscars, He must have thought that i knew nothing. Noob.

Sellers in every domaine take such advantage of buyers, no wonder people don't always follow the advice they are given. Knowledge is the one and only way out of getting conned unfortunately.....
I needed a new laptop and so recently ordered one, fortunately my BF and friends are all computer geeks (I mean TOTAL OBSESSED computer geeks that know more about their comps than about breathing, eating, and sleeping lol!) and guided me patiently through the whole process... what I learned?
Its pretty freakin IMPOSSIBLE to get a comp truly worth your money without good knowledge of computers. You need to choose your laptop piece by piece, never already assembled at the store, cause if you buy it already assembled and all... then you are certain to pay more and get less. Course to choose it piece by piece you need to understand very well all of the different pieces you must choose from, so that you wind up paying for exactly what you personally need.
Now that my knowledge of computers have been sharpened, I realise just how much your average person that goes to buy his computer without complete knowledge of them, is like a sheep throwing himself to a pack of wolves!
I know so many people without a clue, who have paid 2000$ and even 3000$ for computers that are not even truly worth a quarter of that price.... and the owners would actually need to spit out a few hundred and even thousand dollars EXTRAS if they wanted to enhance these computers and make them AS performant AS your average 1200$ comp should be!!!!
Heck you could get an insane MONSTER machine for 3000$!!!!
People get their money stripped bare from them, and they think they bought an amazing machine, but they really just threw money out the window for something that is not that performant, and usually not even adapted for the usage they will make of it!!!!
So in the end.... NEVER buy a comp if you have NO REEEEEEAAAAAAL GOOD KNOWLEDGE OF them. If your kinda/semi-competant or not competant at all with these things, then find yourself a friend or family memeber that is A TRUE COMPUTER GEEK! Better admit your not a total computer whiz than spend 3 times the price for something that is not worth it, and not compatible with your specific needs!
