I asked if that would be an offensive offer...I was told yes. And then I immediately said "cool, glad I asked."
and then you turned this thread into life lessons about an industry that fascinates me not
I could care less about cars...if mine works, cool. If not, not cool. If I go to a place and feel like they are ripping me off, I leave. If not, I pay. The end. Yay.
but thanks for your 200,000,000,582 character ongoing life lesson you've provided to all in this thread about how savvy you are at ripping people off

The hell you did, you didn't make this thread and say "Hey guys, is 20 bucks too much or not enough to have my mechanic fix my mirror""
You said, "if it costs more than 20 bucks I'll have my friend do it for free" on top of ranting about prices and literally crying like a stuck pig about how unfair it was that you couldn't get it done at a reasonable price with your car already in the shop.
And then boasting about how you wouldn't pay more for the fix, despite the car being free and that you didn't give a **** about it, and would rather be more of a liability on the road, than fork out 15 extra dollars on top of the 20, to get it fixed, assuming your mechanic would have given you a 50% discount on labor rate for the car already being there.
You literally bitched and moaned before I even made my first post.

Actually, it is one of the newest industries on the planet, is one of the most ever changing industries on the planet, and without being in the industry, i doubt you even under stand 1/5th of what is going on.
But sure, we'll take your statement because it totally makes sense.
