Why do you even have that job if you don't know how to do it?!

I found out that at a job fair I missed, they had a employer at a place where I'd be overqualified for. And I missed it!! I could have gotten that job. ;_;

While at an auto parts store, I asked where I could find terminals. An terminal in auto-speak is the metal part in connectors/plugs. Kinda like a battery terminal

Roll over, bitches, Dougie-chan is coming in!

Seriously though, that is infuriating.

even though the one he gave me had a ROUND plug and the one in my car had a SQUARE plug.

To be fair, different O2 sensors from different manufacturers might look different. The fact that he selected the wrong engine, on the other hand... there's just no excuse for that.

Also, sometimes the indexes are wrong, or are incomplete. Sometimes the model changes mid-year and the indexes don't reflect that. That's even more aggravating, because then I can't blame the guy behind the counter. For a 1987 Nissan Stanza I used to have, I had to purchase a distributor cap for the previous model year. The "correct" distributor cap didn't fit. It took trips to about five different auto parts stores and physically bringing in the old one to show that it was indeed wrong to finally get the right part.

It was more the fact that he acted as if he was right and I was wrong when I told him it was the wrong sensor that got me. How can he have given me the right one if the plugs didn't match?! But he basically treated me like I was retarded.
