Lazy #!\*%$
August 22, 2020 at 5:33 pm
I found a set of factory service manuals on Craigslist that cover a couple of the years for cars we have. The advertisement has been online for a few weeks.
So I call the guy. It is about a 3 1/2 hour drive one way for me.
I ask - would you be willing to ship these to me if I pay the shipping?
He says "No. I would have to put them in a box".
Really?
Might I suggest another place you can put them - you lazy fuck?
Fucking people....

Maybe he was in the great Box War of aught nine. They were some tough times. You should be more considerate of others and their troubles. You heartless bastard!

Boxes are hard.

I won't claim I was the fastest box folder in pizza chain history, but back in the late 90s early 2000s I worked for a major pizza chain. But for my single store, where I worked, when I got into bundle box folding bets with other co workers, I beat them every time. Cant say I could do that now being older. But back then, I would have taken anyone on in folding pizza boxes.
Boxes are NOT hard.

Boxes are clearly an expensive commodity that, outside of transportation, you have no use for.

There, we've heard from a professional. Maybe Bri can talk the guy through it.

I can't believe the manuals aren't available online. I have found several for old appliances, etc. and either been able to get the instructions I needed or the part numbers. Seems that damn near every manual is available online now.

They haven't made an S-series Saturn in 18 years.
And they didn't sell a lot of the factory service manuals - which generally were only sold to dealers...

Yeah. I have seen those. They are a step up from a Haynes or Chiltons - but they are not as complete as the factory manual.
I have a couple sets of factory.The 95 set is three heavy three ring folders weighing about 10 lbs. It covers an insane amount of information.
This guy was selling the 96 and the 2001 set with the 2002 addendums. (2002 was the last s-series and nearly identical to 2001).
He only wanted $50 for both. Cheap for the factory editions.

Since they’re that cheap, drive on over and pick them up, you lazy #!\*%$.
