After figuring out the park light sockets were the culprit of my lighting problems on my van, even though I had them working, I thought I would stop by the junkyard today and pick up some more off a van they had. My passenger side taillight is busted so I decided to take one off the same van. I asked the guy how much they wanted for it before I took it off. He told me to pull it and bring it in and they would as he said, "treat me right".

Anyway, I pulled the taillight and looked at three vans but never could find any sockets. Someone must have needed some before me. So, I take it in and said, here it is, how much. He asked one of the owners, who is, before I forget, a dickhead. I heard him say 25. I asked, did he say 25 dollars. His son spoke up and said, that's what he said. I told Bill, the owner, hell, I can buy a new one for that. Then I heard Bill say, throw it in the trash then. This pissed me off. I said is this the best you can do? Answer was yes. I said nope, I don't want it then and walked out.

This place has always been this way. Even 30 years ago. They seem to have the best selection of vehicles to choose from, but damn, why do they have to be such aholes? It's not only this one though. It seems all of them around here are this way.

He would rather not even sell than to sell it to me at a good price. Keep the damn thing then. I can do without it.

Some thing never change.
