Here’s a true story that happened to me once: A few years ago I bought a brand new BMW and it stopped working after only 500 miles. Well I was absolutely outraged. I had extended correspondence with both the dealership that I bought the car from and BMW (UK) themselves, expressing my utter outrage that a brand new car should suddenly grind to a halt after only 500 miles. After a thorough examination of the car the dealership reached the conclusion that the car had come to a halt because it had run out of petrol, and therefore it was entirely my own fault and they, the dealership, and BMW (UK) could in no way be held accountable. Well I was absolutely outraged that they would not accept any responsibility. I had paid £30000 for the car and I was expected to fill it up with petrol myself. Outrageous. I will never buy another BMW if that is their attitude. Quite right too John. Paying that money and being expected to refuel it yourself! Whatever next? huh.

tonylong ...winded  More info | Jun 15, 2016 14:47 | #9 john crossley wrote in post #18040363 Here's another true story that happened to me once: A couple of years ago I nipped down to Curry’s and bought a new Tefal electric kettle. I opened the box as soon as I got home and placed the kettle on the kitchen worktop. It looked resplendent in its mat-black finish. Now what better thing to do then have a grand cup of Yorkshire Tea made from fine Yorkshire Water boiled in my brand new kettle. I filled it up and then went and sat in the lounge as I waited for it to boil. After a few minutes I could smell the acrid stench of burning plastic. I went into the kitchen and to my irate horror the kettle had melted. I was outraged. I boxed the remains of the kettle up and headed back to Curry’s demanding to speak with the manager. I explained to him what had happened and asked for a refund. He refused point blank, and he also refused to replace the kettle. I left the shop in a fit of outraged indignation and on arriving home wrote a pompous letter to the CEO of Tifal (UK) pointing out the inadequacies of his products. Again Tifal (UK) refused to accept any responsibility for the kettle melting; in fact the CEO had the audacity to suggest that it was my fault. My fault. Well that really made my blood boil. Apparently electric kettles are not meant to be placed on electric hobs, no; they should be plugged into the wall socket. anitaw2 wrote in post #18039950 are you serious or just joking??? Tony

Snydremark my very own Lightrules moment More info | Jun 27, 2016 10:26 | #14 Bassat wrote in post #18040009 This is a REAL outrageous story. My wife's slightly pampered little sister got a brand-new shiny car for a high-school graduation present. Grandma paid cash for it, so no car payments. About 30 months later, li'l sis calls me up and says her car quit running. "It screeched and screamed and then it just shut off. It was smoking, too!" The car was still warm when I got there, and smelled of burned metal. I thought the brakes had seized. Nope. A bit of inspection leads me to something is wrong with the engine. No oil on the dipstick. I asked, "When was the last time you checked/changed the oil?" "The what?" OMFG! Just over 30,000 miles on a brand new engine, in a brand new car. Toast. The engine had seized. Much to my surprise, and Toyota's credit, the dealer put a new engine in it. Free. Go figure. Similar happened with a fellow student back when I was in high school...almost identical conversation. He didn't know how to check his own oil, nor did he have any idea what automatic transmission fluid (ATF) was or where to check it. Both were bone dry; luckily, we caught it before permanent damage was done. - Eric S.: My Birds/Wildlife
