I don't know why that trip to SuperCheap Auto had to be an argument.

I went in to buy replacement rubbers for my wipers, and said to the guy that I noticed online they offered to change them for $9, so I'd like that please.

The guy called someone else over to come out and look at the car, and I mentioned that the back window rubber would also need changing but that the replacement pack has enough in it to do all 3 blades. I mentioned that I knew this because I did it last time.

He argued with me. He insisted that he'd have to order in the part to change the back wiper. He mansplained that if he just changed the rubber it would leave a gap that would scratch the window because I have the factory default wipers on the car and they're not designed to have the rubber changed.

I explained to him that I didn't have the factory wipers on the car, that I had Tridon wipers because I changed them myself 4 years ago specifically so I could just replace the rubbers instead of throwing the entire wiper away every time they needed changing. And that, as I had already explained I have previously done this myself.

He started arguing again, insisting they were the factory wipers. I had enough said I'd do it myself, and the only reason I was asking for it to be done is because I thought that it would be LESS DRAMA for them to do it.. but apparently it's actually MORE drama because you're insisting on arguing about it with me?

Then he said "no, it's fine.. I'll do it for you." as though he was doing me a favour by changing them for me, and not performing a paid service for a customer.

I said no thanks, and he kept arguing that he would do it as he followed me into the store to buy the rubbers. He then tried to sell me the wrong product, and argued with me AGAIN when I told him it was wrong until I took the product off him and started to walk over to the register. He left to go back into the office, so I went back over to the shelf and grabbed the correct product.

My guy, I've been out of the house and wearing a bra for 4 hours now. Don't fucking push me.
