Whelp....

I hate to play Devil's advocate, but did the note actually say to hurt yourself, or did it say that eating there would lead to that?

Reread it just now, they closed with "Lose weight, clean your car, or kill yourself. Please."

I thought that was pretty clear... ...though I guess they did give me the option - am I still supposed to kill myself if only do one or the other? Or only if I don't do both? They weren't clear on the details.

Sounds like you could just get away with a car wash...

I was parking at a restaurant one day and saw this stud truck pull into a handicapped space. Out came a strutting little bantam rooster of a guy with his eye candy girlfriend. Neither showed any evidence of being handicapped nor was there a handicapped plate or mirror hanger.

I was tempted to slash his tires, but better angels prevailed and I settled for leaving the following note under his windshield wiper:

"You really shouldn't park in a handicapped space, and in about 1200 miles, you'll find out why."

I take great satisfaction in contemplating how many mechanic's bills and sleepless nights he experienced.

B.

This is utterly brilliant!

Hmm. That could also be read as:
"If you don't do what I've suggested, you will die soon. Please consider my concern."

I might buy that interpretation if the tone of the rest of the note was kind and considerate. It was not.

Well, people don't always plan an outline for what they intend to write. They just write what comes to mind at the moment.

The whole car thing is really throwing me. Is Elon the anti-christ and @bholder must be punished because he is an acolyte?

This would be a great case study for someone who knows far more than me about mental and emotional gymnastics.

Just do a search on “Tesla hate” and you’ll see it’s a very real thing.

Lots of gas-heads seem to feel offended and existentially threatened by Tesla's existence. We'll win them over eventually...

I would think the opposite to be more accurate, as in the EV owners having an issue with the petrol heads like myself.

I don't get the whole EV thing, but I would never insult someone for that being their choice in a vehicle.

My only beef with Tesla is that they don’t provide any 401k match for their employees. For a company valued at more than $650 billion owned by one of the world’s richest men, that’s pathetic. But we’re getting pretty off-topic.

What i Hate most about teslas, is that I don't own one. Few of em in my parking lot at my work and they are sweet rides. Im thinking about getting one for my next car, but I do like not having a car payment right now.

Maybe you should buy some of these Tesla wristbands and give them to that couple if you see them again.

You don't have any bumper stickers, do you?

I've never understood how a person could get so worked up over a choice of automobile. Especially when it comes to pickup trucks.

Some of the Ford versus Chevy stuff I've seen in person and on other forums is nothing short of legendary..... just like the rivalry between the Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins fans.

That is indeed true. A co-worker wouldn't ride in my Malibu, not because it was a rust bucket, but because his grandfather was somebody important at Ford.

Whatever, it keeps life interesting, as long as it just sticks to quirky things like that and not people getting riled up over the same old ethnocultural and religious stuff and fat shaming and stuff like that.
