    They stuck a needle full of cortisone in my spine last week, the doc said no stretching until I see her next week.

    Dear Ebay Sellers:

    Please accurately describe your items. Especially if you are a bike shop and selling a bike on Ebay. Significant rust in tubes should have been disclosed in the item description (and no, 500 miles of riding does NOT include expecting flaking rust). As should the fact that you took black paint and tried to cover over major scraping on the crank and the rear derailleur. I pity the people who have to deal with you as a shop on a regular basis. At least I used paypal and a credit card - so I have lots of options against you.

    PS - Nope - this is NOT anyone that has ever sold anything on TE!

    We're not all know-it-alls!
    You are absolutely right! I've worked with some really neat youngsters. In fact most of them are. Like any other age group, one bad apple spoils the whole barrel!

    When you get to be "Of a certain age", and you've spent all that time being a team player and following the rules, and some little one comes along and makes a profession of breaking as many as possible, and gets away with it..well...it doesn't foster a great relationship.

    That's true of any age.... I work with someone who's a good 15 years older than me, and has burned every professional bridge that they've ever built.... Personality seems to be a much bigger factor than age. Unfortunately, there are folks here, management and not, who are intimidated by this behavior, and it goes unchecked.
