The other day I rang the local stealers to reserve a place in the queue for a test of the new Z4, be it in what ever guise they get, so after my request Lauren put me on hold for not very long to be met with “Hi yeah, what can I do for you buddy”.....Buddy..?????????....Lauren took my name, did that pass the 10yr old by...?? Seems so....anyhoo....I ask our hero when they were getting a new Zed in for test drives and I’d like to put my name down for said experience, “Ok buddy....give me one sec..........................Hi thanks for waiting buddy..(If this little s**t calls me buddy one more time... 
)...there’s only 500 of the new Z4 coming to the country, so I doubt we’ll be getting one..” (SIGH....)..”So you’re telling me BMW are only making 500 of the new Z4 for the UK yes..”? “Yes sorry buddy but that’s how it is” (Even bigger sigh... “That’s the frozen orange car being made in limited numbers before the mainstream model hits the showrooms...BMW are NOT only making 500 cars.....how would that make any sense unless it’s for racing homologation purposes...”?? Pause....”One sec please buddy...” “Oh errr yes.....I’ve just spoken to my manager and I can book you in for a test drive”My gripe is if you get a job in a palatial showroom like BMW wouldn’t you at least make some effort to learn the models you are f**king selling and not to call your customers b**tard ‘Buddy’....I don’t want to be called sir but surely...John...isn’t asking too much is it..?? How are line managers letting these kids get away with it..?? Seriously it pisses me off that I could potentially spend 55k on a car with them and they have trouble stringing a coherent scentence together, but what really boils my piss is being called ‘Buddy’....what the f**k is that...?????
1st world problems ok but ffs....
