So…. I figure I’ll just come clean. All the “January” posts over the last 11 months or so were actually a reference to the forum’s big switch to becoming the PNW affiliate for Court TV.

About the only thing January is good for anymore.

He is not very clever when he leaves his apartment at 2:30 a.m. and takes his phone with him (and is seen on multiple WSU traffic cameras at that time)... and then turns his phone off for 2 hours covering the time of the murders... and then turns it back on for some reason as he makes a ridiculous trip down through Lewiston and back up to Pullman between 4:30-5:30 a.m.

A PhD student in criminology should know to leave his phone at home and turned on so it appears like he never left.   🙄

and at the least do that with your phone and get a burner if you'd absolutely need a phone, but who would even need a phone after that type of crime unless it was to tell someone else "it's done" which indeed is not what was happening.

Yep…here in the south sound that and the storm on 12/20/18 were the biggest blows in recent years. The 1/6/19 storm was more focused on the south sound while the storm on 12/20/18 was more across western WA and SW BC.

Yeah we got nuked up here on 12/20/18 but wasn’t much of anything on 1/6/19. Did have a little snow the next day however!

Some people are crazy, i just had a customer get mad at me because i wouldn't lie to her insurance company so she could get free repairs done. She put her jeep in the ditch and wanted me to inspect it, no problem from the ditch but we noticed some leaks here and there, just basic problems. I told her they had nothing to do with the ditch and she was trying to get me to lie to all state. I told here she had the wrong shop and we absolutely do not do business like that. She told me she would be contacting a lawyer because we are not conducting business properly. Get this, i did not even charge her lol. WTF

The thing that sucks is people like this can get on google and leave a bad review when in fact we did nothing wrong. We have over 100 5 star reviews out of 109 total so it is important to me.

Man i tell you they are, we have been here since 1989 and i am friends with a bunch of business owners, the problem is everyplace. People have changed since covid and that is a fact. They have no patience, we have people drop off stuff and call 6 times a day after they tell us there is no hurry. it makes me want to throw in the towel because it just adds a bunch of stress to a already very hard profession.

If someone writes you a 1 star review we will gang up as a forum and get you like 50 5 star reviews to counter it!

We just had some reps from the Snohomish Co Sheriff’s department come to our last safety meeting at work to help give our front end staff more tools to deal with angry/disgruntled/threatening/drunk/high people that come through the doors as there has been a definite increase of that over the last year. Also we have noticed more people with zero patience, and a huge sense of entitlement. It’s crazy.

Hmmm you seemed pretty impatient/entitled about the snow last month 😜

 It is a real thing though. Glad I finally got into a real career and not in retail anymore. I was verbally abused at my job multiple times a week. Now I just treat water at jobsites and barely interact with anyone.

catching up and when did this place turn into a reddit comment section?

Haha my thoughts exactly. I follow the two main subs for that.

Unrelated note I did have to scrape the windows and defrost the car at 8am when it was 35F but that's about the only interesting bit of weather in these parts. CA still has the firehose.

I'm encouraged that there are honest mechanics like you still out there. All the more reason I'm thrilled you were buried recently. I know it is frustrating. But thank you for your integrity.

50F degrees here in Everett.  Some lights showers during the midmorning and around noon, but over wise, a nice day.  Cloudy, with some dark colored clouds towards the Cascades. Live view from moments ago, people are out and about on this Friday afternoon!!!
