Dear O'Reilly Auto Parts at I-435 & Stateline:

Suck. It.

You are either, collectively, an incompetent bastard or a chauvinistic bastard. But a bastard none-the-less.

Here is what I know about my car:

-It's White
-It has 4 doors
-It needs gas to run

I am not ashamed of my lack of automobile knowledge. But shame on YOU for trying to make me feel like a dumb ass.

When my passenger side head light went out I thought to myself "Rosie the Riveter said I can do it!" so I decided to change it myself. "It is just a light bulb," I reasoned, "it should be the same principle as every other light bulb I've changed in my life."

Wrong.

You see, O'Reilly Auto Parts at I-435 & Stateline, it is impossible to change a headlight successfully when given THE WRONG FUCKING PART.

I guess it is my bad, O'Reilly, for assuming that when your "clerk" asked for my make and model of car, that I'd be given the appropriate bulb. How OB-fucking-TUSE of me. I guess when I said "2004 Honda Accord" that it was just mere small talk between him and I. If I had known he'd just hand me a random light bulb, I would have said something a little more "me," like "take a shower, kid, your hair looks gross and greasy."

I spent 30 minutes in the cold trying to get that SOB to work. But well played, O'Reilly, for giving me a bulb that looks JUST like the bulb I need minus 1 teeny tiny plastic "thing" on the inside of the electrical source do-hickey-thingie-ma-bob.

I was on the verge of throwing in the towel (or bulb, as it were), and declaring defeat against anything vehicle related. I was this close to agreeing only to re-fueling and topping off washer fluid as approved Natasha-Car-Maintenance-Activities.

And that is why you can suck it. For making me doubt my abilities and for forcing me to stay out in the cold.

I'll be back for my refund shortly.

Sincerely,

MHIBTY
