Shite dude, that's ugly..

My car will need to be smogged when I renew this year, before September.  It
should pass okay anyways, but I have NO desire to deal with a "nazi" like
the one you described.  I have a plan - 5 minutes after I arrive, I'm gonna
have somebody call me on my cellphone, which I will have in hand.  If the
guy is NOT sending out nazi vibes, I'll say hi/howdy and end the call.  If
the guy's bad news, I'm going to go into a frenzy, freaking out over a
serious emergency I'm being called about, hang up and frantically leave
for the hospital!  And leave the guy standing there with his dick in his
hand.. then go find another shop and start all over again...  :0
