THIS IS A RANT
If you haven't seen the show i'll give ya a quick run down.. ]
a chic is into sport biking and decides shes gonna go racing.. so instead of using her everyday bike she goes and buys a new zx600rr and wants to get it painted before her first race.. which is about 2 weeks away or something... theres more to the "whole" story than that.. but this was the only part thats worth talking about..
so she takes her brand new bike to this hot shot custom painted somewhere in canada i missed the name of the place.. to get it custom painted.. and the guy is just a total freaking ass about everything... he asks what she wants and she tells him the following.. almost word for word..
I'm thinking I want pink.. with tropical flowers at the front with some of the petals flying off like the wind is blowing them off..
He actually tells her that other than the pink, and the flower thing he likes it.. then he argues around with her about the colors and he finally says well your the customer so I guess you get to win a round every once in awhile... The only reason he did that was because I think he finally realized she would never relent on the color.
personally i would have already walked out.. but anyway
she shows him her personal bike and he's like "thats the most boring thing i've ever seen..., no offense" haha.. which it is a pink and purple sport bike.. but damn.. ya know. being honest, and being offensive are two different things. hehe she tells him it's won trophys in bike shows.. and he's just like.. must not have been anybody there.... how many of you would have stuck around for this bullshit?
I really couldn't believe she let these wankers paint her bike.
you know in the reality shows and stuff they have those little confessionals or whatever where the people talk about everybody else... hehe this effin' painter is talking trash about her everytime they put the camera on him.. at one point he was talking about how he would hate to be her boyfriend... hehe
I'm not complaining that he didn't like her idea, or her either for that matter.. you don't have to "like" the customer, or their opinions to provide decent service. Damn though, what a choad. Talk about customer DIS-appreciation.. she gets the fuggin' tools business put on the damn DISCOVERY channel.. and he can't even attempt to give her what she wants?
he finally convinces her to do some generic "paint ripping off" thing which looks typically boring when he gets done... and bitches about her, and the bike the whole time.
in his defense she was supposed to come help put it back together at like 10am and didn't show up til 1 i think..
she does go do the racing thing.. amateurs, and pro's racing on the same circuit.. she doesn't get lapped,, or wreck.. they don't say where she finished.. but she obviously held her own anyway.. espicially considering it was damn near the first time she ever rode the bike.
