'I called... to tell him the great news, and he loses it': Service advisor tells customer about cheap fix for his car, he insists on an expensive new fuel pump

Car owners have immense pride over their precious vehicles. People who are into cars get so invested in the details that make their automobile shine, from shiny rims to blackout windows. All of these extras don't come cheap, but for lots of people, their car is their favorite hobby, and they'll pour hundreds or thousands into making it look the best it can be. 

This person also took a lot of pride in his car, but it's less about love for his vehicle, and more about him thinking he can never be wrong about anything. U/Malibuninja shared this story of a guy who drove his Chevy Malibu to her auto shop. He was already frustrated with the OP before she could even finish asking him questions. Instead of answering questions about his car, this dude just keeps saying over and over that he already knows what's wrong. 

Check out the entire story, including commenters who shared similar amusing tales from their own lives. Then, this homeowner couple made sure to follow their neighbor's HOA demands — by painting their house a loud neon color.
