Am I wrong?

every time i see or hear the words "am i wrong" i have to reply with big lebowski quote or video lol. . . but i actually did read your novel and i agree you did nothing wrong. i live in a very rural area, and keeping a clean truck has never really been a top priority per se. . .but start spraying shit i don't know about on my truck when i don't even know you? hell no. you reacted much more responsible that i and many others on here would have.

 

You handled it better then I would have

 

The guy did not stand a chance (not that I'm Mr Tough or anything) but legally I would end up losing, the old lady and the girls would all be against me, and I had no witness, only the cameras which without out sound people could interpret anyway they want.

 

You didn't nothing wrong. They should have asked if you wanted a demo before all that shit.

idk about you if someone told me to watch my back I would have lost it. I would have said my usually response to that, "I dont live life watching my back. Let's handle this now." worked for me in high school, some of the little homies would say watch your back and when you call then out they don't do shit.

 

You read my mind, next time I go I will probably try to get info on the owner or manager, usually there is a guy/girl at the register and no one else.

I do not remember the name of the product, next time I go I will probably try to find the name and info about. I would definitely like to talk to someone from the gas station and tell them about what happened.

The guy that threatened me did not looked like he had any authority there, so he can't ban me from there, it was all part of his attitude.

 

you are fully in the right. last person to touch my truck was my landlord and I yelled at him. he got really startled and apologized and i just said "its ok, its not your truck so dont touch it".

 

OP where are you

 

Puerto Rico

 

this shit happened to you to?
was it the red and white can with a nascar on it?
we had some guys doing that to lol except i was airing up my tires after a fun day out fishing with the wife and some freinds had to air down a little bit and the truck had some dried on mud from the tires cleaning out so dude walks up and said damn that alot of truck to clean, i say yep sure is, he says how long does it take you normally i say a fast wash normally two hours, he says i got a product that will have it done in 20 min i say screw off i dont want it next thing i know hes sprayin my truck and just as i stand up hes got his rag out like you said dirty as hell(not that it really matters when my truck is caked in mud) and what do i do lol grab the water line and douse him with it then returned home and washed my truck the way i like to cold beer in hand and slowly and meticulously



sorry to thread jack just thought id share my experience with these a2sh0l3s

 

Next time I suggest getting your cell phone out and video record as much as you can. At most this will help if police were called, or if the product did cause irreparable damage and a things went to court. And at least it might make them realize to back off and not threaten you. You cant be too careful.

Man, cant people just leave you alone.

 

I think thats the product, this was at a Shell Station

 

Was said asshole Puerto Rican? if so then i dunno, i dont start shit with ethnicities im not familiar with

 

I really don't care much about the watch your back, this is a small town, I've been here my whole live and who ever the guy is a bet you someone I know probably knows who he is or know someone else who knows who he is.

The only thing that would piss me off, is that the guy finds the truck some where and does something to it. I had it happen before with my previous truck.

 

Lol yeah he was Puerto Rican, and so I'm I, but like everywhere there are some decent people and your typical douche bags

 

Props to you for keeping a cool head.
You did the right thing by walking away. Amazing how stupid people can be.

 

lol by any chance you remember the name of the product or something I could use to find it on the web.

I think this is the product

I have a can of the shit and thats the stuff. Its kind of a half assed bug and tar remover. I felt bad for the person selling and some extra change in my pocket so I bought it... never used it but once and it sucked for the intended use. I see these people everywhere now. They did the same thing demoing it before getting the OK and using a dirty rag. Of course I view my truck as a truck and dont give a shit about swirl marks and pinstripes. Id rather see em doing that then stealing from cars. Call me soft hearted. Didnt screw up my paint though.

 

I see those guys at a couple of gas stations around town, but have never been approached by one. Maybe you need to practice your 'don't fuck with me' look.

 

Puerto Rico....enough said....that shit wouldnt fly in the states. Most people i know, myself included, are very territorial, and do not want strangers even touching our cars. you showed tremendous restraint. sounded like a three person scam.
