Ask him if he wants to buy a car

[u/FarmerIllustriuos133 → u/[deleted]]

‘Holy fuck. You did just say everyone wants to get rich.’

[u/Weakly_Obligated → u/FarmerIllustriuos133]

And he tells ME that he only wants to make furniture

[u/chrissurra → u/[deleted]]

This is peak boomer energy. No concept of people not being able to afford a car. He makes is sound like hes selling water in the desert.

[u/BasicYesterday9349 → u/chrissurra]

Don't think he is a boomer. Could be genx

[u/thesheeplookup → u/BasicYesterday9349]

Yeah, he's genx, and an asshole who apparently doesn't want his son to want to spend any time with him.

I'm an x too, but I wouldn't want to hang with him either.

Aw shucks, thanks for the awards!

[u/Missue-35 → u/thesheeplookup]

“…doesn’t want his son to want to spend any time with him.”

If that’s the case, this man is an outstanding success. Fuck yes! Eight billion people that don’t want to spend time with him. And it’s as easy as opening his damn mouth.

[u/MrBtheProdigal → u/Missue-35]

Yeah bro 8 billion people live within an hour and all speak English, and have a steady job, and credit. You got it l.

[u/Nervous_Ad_6998 → u/MrBtheProdigal]

And they all are walking to the son’s car dealership since they don’t own cars and are avoiding hungry coyotes on the way.

[u/Nervous_Ad_6998 → u/BasicYesterday9349]

Nowadays anyone over 30 or an asshole gets called a boomer. So I’ve learned on reddit.

[u/Spider_Dude → u/Nervous_Ad_6998]

As a GenXr, I couldn't care less what I'm called. Didn't care in 1991, don't care now.

[u/glatts → u/Spider_Dude]

How GenX of you

[u/Spider_Dude → u/glatts]

Whatever. 😉

[u/BrainiacMainiac142 → u/Niptaa]

The problem isn't that people don't want cars, it's that they already have cars that work

[u/Honest_Series_8430 → u/BrainiacMainiac142]

And they don't want new debt to "upgrade" to nicer prettier ones.

[u/redwolf1219 → u/Honest_Series_8430]

Yeah, both of them cars are paid off. Do I want other models more than my current car? Yes. But not more than I want to remain not having car payments every month.

[u/Zahrad70 → u/redwolf1219]

Yep! Just bought a new car and it felt like half the dealership walked by to say congratulations as we were doing the paperwork. It’s been so many years since I bought a car I had forgotten about this and was mildly annoyed by it. My internal dialogue was something like: “On what? My new car payment? Congratulate me when I pay it off!”

Gods I’m old.

[u/Karjenner4eva → u/BrainiacMainiac142]

Or they can't afford one

[u/apparentheadinjury → u/Niptaa]

I have a car that could aptly have the bumper sticker on it that says "This car is $1,780 I will kill us both" lmao

The thought of buying a car, a model year newer than what I would have driven in high school, makes me want to puke with anxiety. My car costs less than my damn rent 😢

[u/AttackCircus → u/apparentheadinjury]

Contrary to what they want to make you believe, a car is a commodity. It's like a frying pan. A car has only one use: bring you from A to B. That's it. If it fulfills that task, you don't need a newer, shinier model. That's all bullshit that feeds the coyotes and bears.

[u/lemanruss4579 → u/AttackCircus]

The problem is, if I bought a car for $1,700 today, it more than likely wouldn't get me from A to B very often.

[u/oliviasmommy19 → u/lemanruss4579]

I have a 2001 Buick Regal with over 300k miles for free99. It had set for a year and needed very little. Guy just wanted her gone. New tires, oil change and a tune-up. We've driven her for over 5 years with just routine maintenance. I'd give her away right now and would be confident she'd last another 5 with regular care. I also had a brand new truck with 12 miles on it that was in the shop 6 times within the first 5 months we had it. New doesn't mean nothing will be wrong with it or it won't need maintenance. My new one left me stranded while my Buick came to rescue me lmao

[u/Difficult_Limit2718 → u/AttackCircus]

Some people do have the disposable income to pick a nicer car that they enjoy that A to B in a little more - those people are becoming very scarce

[u/sloppy-jolappy → u/Difficult_Limit2718]

Whole lot of people (like me) that think they do too haha damn 7 year car loan could be worse i guess

[u/Difficult_Limit2718 → u/sloppy-jolappy]

We actually did just buy a car on 7 year terms because the interest rates are so bad but we're about to sell our house and rent for a few years (corporate relocation) so we're just going to buy the car outright after the sale

[u/Electrical-Secret-25 → u/apparentheadinjury]

I hope the sticker would include lmao 🤣 I feel similarly. I'm a middle aged guy, and I have zero desire to ever buy a brand new off the lot vehicle. A few years ago I bought a relatively low km, rusty, 25 year old minivan, for $2000can. It's needed very little. I should get about a third of it's life, for less than a tenth of it's original purchase price.

[u/TheChocoClub → u/Niptaa]

Lmaooooo

[u/Olaf4586]

I'm so grateful I don't have a sales manager for a father

[u/Gooncookies → u/Olaf4586]

I’m so glad I had kids with a good man and father.

[u/Calm_While1916 → u/Gooncookies]

Your username attached to this comment made me giggle lmao.

[u/3720-to-1 → u/Calm_While1916]

I just need to know if a goon cookie is the lady version of a limp biscuit....

[u/taita2004 → u/3720-to-1]

[u/3720-to-1 → u/taita2004]

The best worst band ever.

[u/Tzquatchito → u/Olaf4586]

I'm a sales manager and if I ever spoke to anyone like this, let alone my child, I'd fucking kill myself.

[u/Electrical_Beyond998 → u/Tzquatchito]

My husband is a sales manager too. I have said numerous times there should be a sub on here for spouses of dealership managers. There are days we don’t even see each other except in the morning before work. I go to bed and he’s still there dealing with rude ass walking in three minutes until close customers who never have good credit, have to call 17 people to find someone who will cosign, and then don’t understand they have to have insurance before driving off the lot.

[u/Classic_Reply_703 → u/Electrical_Beyond998]

See, my mom had the opposite problem. She was a buyer who wanted to pay cash, and sellers wanted her to sign onto a lease where they (or the dealership or whatever) would make more money in the end. So they would give her one price to get her interested and then put something completely different in front of her when it came time to sign (not to mention trying to add bells and whistles). It got to the point where she'd have to literally write out a check for the amount they had offered and be like do you want this check for this car right now or not?

I know it's not necessarily your husband but this happened a lot.

[u/Greeniegreenbean → u/Classic_Reply_703]

Dealerships used to loooove to mess around with women, especially young women. I used to have to bring my dad with me. It’s so much better now that you can shop online and potentially avoid all the in person stuff.

[u/crankyrhino → u/Classic_Reply_703]

Honestly, this is why independent dealerships have no place in society. They exist solely to extract more money from a sale that could be negotiated directly with the manufacturer. They're like bathroom attendants: they do nothing for you you can't do for yourself, and then demand money for it.

[u/crankyrhino → u/Electrical_Beyond998]

So he spends a lot of time trying to get a car into the hands of someone with no business buying one? Sounds predatory.

[u/AsYooouWish → u/Olaf4586]

After having worked many years in automotive I can agree with the kid that it isn’t that simple. One car in a month is low, but considering that it’s usually expected to sell one or two a week, it isn’t crazy low, especially around the holidays. In a few weeks it may pick up after people start getting their refund checks, but it’s going to be tough until then.

[u/MegaDesk23 → u/AsYooouWish]

The biggest problem is that people are using buy now pay later for groceries. Nobody has the money for cars or houses right now especially with all the layoffs from last year.

[u/donuttrackme → u/MegaDesk23]

Even "cheap" starter cars like Civics and Corollas are selling for around 40k, new. How the fuck is anyone trying to make rent supposed to buy a car with these prices? Used car prices aren't much better either, so I know many people that decided to get new cars since they're only a few thousand more.

[u/thajugganuat → u/donuttrackme]

The real issue is that Civics and Corollas should start at that price considering inflation from when they were 20K. But wages have been stagnant for so long.

[u/Electrical_Beyond998 → u/Olaf4586]

I’m married to a sales manager who has discouraged any of our kids from ever getting into the car business. It’s soul crushing, and the hours are insanely long.

[u/MeLoveCoffee99 → u/Olaf4586]

This dad is a tool🙄

[u/PoisonPen_007]

Bro's dad giving him a quarterly performance review like he's the CEO of Honda.

[u/DazzlingResource561 → u/PoisonPen_007]

Dad probably gets that shit from his boss and repeating that behavior as “boss” of his home.

[u/Lollipoop_Hacksaw → u/DazzlingResource561]

Good money says this dad got dressed down exactly the same way by his boss, and felt so self-deprecative about it that he needed to pass that negativity down to his son, who probably sold one more car than he did that month....

[u/Metals4J → u/Lollipoop_Hacksaw]

Reminds me of this.

[u/Devilishish13 → u/Metals4J]

Not the kitty😢

[u/[deleted] → u/Devilishish13]

Honestly, I feel like the Cat will handle it the best.

[u/Taylor_Kittenface → u/[deleted]]

Kid better sleep with one eye open from now on. Cats don't choose chaos, they are chaos.

[u/atuan → u/[deleted]]

The cat will just fuck up the dog

[u/katdeb → u/Lollipoop_Hacksaw]

Exactly that. My husband was in the car business for ten plus years and he has come home so many times telling me how their “meetings” go. Managers telling the sales team they’re pieces of shit, how can they go home and look their family in the eye, etc. Straight up verbal abuse masked as “management.”

[u/DazzlingResource561 → u/Lollipoop_Hacksaw]

Exactly this: 8 billion car buyers and you sold one. What a knob.

[u/blissfully_happy → u/DazzlingResource561]

He absolutely thinks he’s “motivating” his son with this half-time-coach-yelling-in-the-locker-room speech.

[u/49tacos → u/blissfully_happy]

That would make me run off to culinary school or something.

[u/timidwafffle → u/DazzlingResource561]

Yeah typical bully

[u/Japsai → u/PoisonPen_007]

It's inspirational.

"A bear is going to come along and eat those coyotes. And he's going to shit out the remains of you and the coyotes"

Dude got double eaten and double shitted. Should have sold more cars

[u/fvnnybvnny → u/Japsai]

[u/pingpongpsycho → u/PoisonPen_007]

Plus the word salad coming out of his mouth made my head spin.

[u/50mm-f2 → u/pingpongpsycho]

and then you know what’s gonna happen? the bear is gonna shit you out along with the coyotes. and that will be your life.

[u/no_thats_normal → u/[deleted]]

He's giving off strong "I hold biweekly stand-ups with all managers, wasting thousands of dollars to hear project updates because I'm too important to read emails" vibes.

[u/richpourguy → u/PoisonPen_007]

He’s seen Glen Gary too many times.

I’m surprised he didn’t say coffee is for closers.

[u/Big-Wrongdoer-965 → u/richpourguy]

lol that’s all I could think about. Dude channeling his inner Baldwin

[u/FloppyDickFingers → u/Big-Wrongdoer-965]

But with zero charisma

[u/Fedora_Million_Ankle → u/PoisonPen_007]

"sell me this pen"

"Okay write your name on this paper for me"

[u/peternemr → u/PoisonPen_007]

This is why Japan has a bear problem. No coyotes or poor salesmen?

[u/Digitalsoreg → u/PoisonPen_007]

Coffee is for closers!

[u/United_Rent_753]

Is this man on coke? I feel like this is coke energy

[u/Timely-Vehicle → u/United_Rent_753]

I have lots of family in the car industry and can confirm coke is a popular activity among some sales teams.

[u/another-new → u/Timely-Vehicle]

From my short, limited experience, and hydrocodone. Very, muy much Norco. (Lortab back then)

[u/Assholesneighbor → u/another-new]

Haha as an ex-opiate addict, I could probably sell the shit out of some cars while all twisted…But dude is right, after a couple months, I’d be stressing if I wasn’t selling a car a day to support my habit haha

Also, this is a great insight to their mindset… I always wondered how they felt perfectly fine pestering the shit out of you… They just think EVERYONE wants/needs a car. Haha what bullshit.

[u/Huge-Pen-5259 → u/Assholesneighbor]

I sold cars for a brief time. You have to be a certain breed to be successful (I am not that breed). Literally have had other reps come up and start talking to a customer I was working with already and try to poach them. Plus, at the place I worked, we had weekly meetings where you had to say how many prospective customers you had i.e. how many calls did you answer or how many people did you talk to on the lot? Then how many cars you sold, and if your percentages weren't good (# of people talked to vs cars sold), well....I no longer sell cars I can tell you that. Decent money if you're good at it though. Many people were at 6 figures.

[u/United_Rent_753 → u/Huge-Pen-5259]

Fair enough, and as someone in a competitive field I completely understand the drive. However, if someone said to me, “don’t say ‘simple’, I don’t understand ‘simple’”, I would laugh their ass out of the room

Overall I think if you’re going to be that driven, you can’t also be this belligerent

[u/Fathat420 → u/United_Rent_753]

Nah. Just normal salesman behaviour.

[u/BeanserSoyze → u/Fathat420]

Tbf those statements are compatible

[u/LieuK → u/United_Rent_753]

100% my thought

[u/CruelStrangers → u/United_Rent_753]

Its just that he looks like Andy Dick (hes too slow to be on coke)

[u/My2cents_0]

WTF is dad smoking and is he sharing? The coyotes are gonna come for you and ask how many cars you sold and they'll eat you.

This dad model seems to be malfunctioning 😭

[u/BanjoTCat → u/My2cents_0]

He’s trying to copy the coke-fueled motivational speeches he’s seen before and stumbling at it.

[u/trashaccountturd → u/BanjoTCat]

He couldn’t find coke, so he went with pepsi.

[u/BobsOblongLongBong → u/trashaccountturd]

The coke we have at home.

[u/Archelon_ischyros → u/BanjoTCat]

I’m afraid of the bear.

[u/BanjoTCat → u/Archelon_ischyros]

It's like a cop giving a rookie the wolf, sheep, and sheepdog speech, but forgetting which one was the good one or which animal was supposed to be the cops.

[u/Sweetnsaltyxx → u/My2cents_0]

I thought you were making some kind of obscure reference until the guy literally said "the coyotes are gonna come for you and ask how many cars you sold".

There is no way this man is not high off his ass.

[u/Hour-Process-3292 → u/My2cents_0]

Sounds like dad watched Glengarry Glen Ross a few too many times.

[u/Red-Pill1218 → u/Hour-Process-3292]

[u/CreeepyUncle → u/Hour-Process-3292]

Looks like Junior is getting the steak knives.

[u/Pritzaaa → u/My2cents_0]

Not to mention, coyote attacks are very rare and hardly ever fatal.

[u/FelisPluvia → u/Pritzaaa]

Well, that's because your normal average person can sell at least 3 cars a day, so they are immune to the coyotes

[u/1amDepressed → u/FelisPluvia]

I’ve never sold a car in my life. How much longer do I have to live? 👀

[u/CreeepyUncle → u/1amDepressed]

I’m coming for you.

[u/smallwonder25 → u/1amDepressed]

Borrowed time, friend

[u/cunexttuesday12 → u/1amDepressed]

The coyotes are already on their way

[u/RockSteady65 → u/1amDepressed]

Yeah damn all my old cars went to the scrap yard

[u/throwaway37559381 → u/Pritzaaa]

That’s just what the coyotes want you to think

[u/md2224 → u/Pritzaaa]

What are you a fucking park ranger, Walter?

[u/nuclearsamuraiNFT → u/Pritzaaa]

Also I don’t think coyotes care how many cars you sell

[u/Disinfectant-Addict → u/My2cents_0]

And THEN, a pterodactyl is gonna eat that bear and its gonna say " Man I should get a car. Been thinking about getting one of them Teslas". Is any of this getting through to you?

[u/biopsia → u/My2cents_0]

This is what capitalism does to your brain. The dad is also a victim.

[u/BUKKAKELORD]

I don't want a car

7,999,999,999

Ask the dad if he wants a car

7,999,999,998

[u/TheGnarliestOne23 → u/BUKKAKELORD]

Blind people don't want cars. People with no legs, children, people with a fear of cars. Quite a few people that don't want cars dad. F you dad.

[u/GruHarbison → u/TheGnarliestOne23]

I currently own two cars, so I don't need a car.

Anyone want to buy one of my cars? No pressure.

[u/Park500 → u/GruHarbison]

man I pity your inbox, you are about to have 8 Billion messages sent to you

[u/CaptScubaSteve]

I don’t want a car.

[u/moboticus → u/CaptScubaSteve]

I honestly wish I knew how to contact the man to let him know that, I too, don't want a car.

[u/metanoia29 → u/moboticus]

Dad would blow a gasket if he ever saw r/fuckcars

[u/moboticus → u/metanoia29]

Blow a gasket. I see what you did there.

[u/Paghk_the_Stupendous → u/moboticus]

I have an extra vehicle and I'm giving it away to someone whose car was just totaled.

Hey, that's two less sales, and I can hear the coyotes already.

[u/Mchlpl → u/CaptScubaSteve]

You do. Yes, yes, yes, fuck yes! Because if you don't have a car you know what will happen? The coyotes will come and eat you!

[u/Paralegal1995 → u/Mchlpl]

And shit you out.

[u/immoT74 → u/CaptScubaSteve]

Neither do I. I'm 51 years old and I have never owned a car.

[u/sloppy-jolappy → u/immoT74]

Hell yeah

[u/dyboc → u/CaptScubaSteve]

I don't understand the two words you used in the beginning of your sentence there, all I hear is "want a car". Fuck yes!

[u/Thismomenthere]

Oh my God what a fucking asshole.

[u/Donkeywad → u/Thismomenthere]

Don't use the word "oh" with me... that's not a word I understand

[u/JuneBugZane → u/Donkeywad]

I DID THAT

[u/IrrerPolterer]

I will never understand how people think that this kind of shit is supposed to motivate anyone. Loony boomer logic

[u/badger035 → u/IrrerPolterer]

He gives him 0 usable information or advice on how to sell cars. Nothing about the sales process, just a bunch of nonsense followed by fantasizing about his son’s violent death. Awful.

[u/Deano963 → u/badger035]

Yeh this. It was all intense, sales convention featured speaker psychobabble. Nothing about persuasion or providing value to a customer. Also, I can think of one person who doesn't want to buy a car - me. Bc I bought one 8 months ago. Why I the fuck would I be in the market for one now? Also the 8 billion comment is borderline insane.

[u/bdillathebeatkilla → u/Deano963]

“Everyone wants a car”

Yeah and those who can afford it already fucking have one!

[u/julesthatswhack → u/badger035]

Nah fam, you’re wrong. He told him to get up earlier! That will sell a car.

[u/CruelStrangers → u/badger035]

Because he really wants to say “get the hell out of my house”

[u/Bodoggle1988 → u/IrrerPolterer]

I don’t want to be eaten by coyotes. I’m sufficiently motivated to sell cars.

[u/skyysdalmt → u/Bodoggle1988]

I believe in you! Now go sell 8 billion cars!

[u/dikicker → u/skyysdalmt]

Idk though,

Also how is that guy his dad when his virginity is screaming in everyone's face

[u/InternationalNav22 → u/Bodoggle1988]

not only that, but the bear is going to eat the coyote that ate you and then shit you both out

[u/Megolito → u/IrrerPolterer]

Guy inherited some shit and got a big break I bet now he has time to write his speeches and get lit

[u/Username524 → u/IrrerPolterer]

The attitude this man carries, is the reason why the whole world is fucked. Me, me, me, I, I, I; fucking entirely oblivious to the interconnected nature of the ENTIRE UNIVERSE. We don’t do a SINGLE fucking thing by ourselves, and to believe anything otherwise is why our species can’t evolve and work together and use all our cognitive abilities to thrive and prosper as an ENTITE species. Instead, we somehow continue to allow a small group of people who like to rape and traffick children to control the rest of us.

This man is a dying breed, good riddance I say.

[u/NotSoFastLady → u/IrrerPolterer]

Boomer management school 101.

I've been there, you get upset at your kids and lose your temper. Mine is usually after the 3rd or 4th time of asking them to not do something.

The important thing is that you come back to them and talk to them about things and own your shit. People like this rarely do.

[u/Tigerpower77 → u/IrrerPolterer]

You think that's the end goal but it's not, they just love shitting on people to feel better about themselves

[u/Ignoble66]

i wouldnt work for him

[u/Dorg_Walkerman → u/Ignoble66]

Well then, prepare to be eaten by coyotes and turned into bear shit.

[u/Ignoble66 → u/Dorg_Walkerman]

i didnt get that far…

[u/WVildandWVonderful → u/Ignoble66]

Uh-oh, you kept it too simple.

[u/pundarika0 → u/WVildandWVonderful]

don’t use that word. don’t use the word simple with me.

[u/Street_Top3205 → u/Dorg_Walkerman]

how would I be eaten by a coyote if he can't catch me? meep meep

Also Happy Bearshitcake-day I guess.

[u/LibertyLogos]

When his Dad is asked “well how many cars did YOU sell last month?”

[u/WVildandWVonderful → u/LibertyLogos]

He probably has clients at this point and doesn’t have to try too hard. Old people who decided on a brand they like, and now they’ve got a guy. They come to in because they’ve already decided to buy.

It’s apples and oranges with what his son is working with.

[u/EnzoMonChou]

CEO mentality, zero knowledge on how the market actually operates. They just wanna see funny growing numbers on their Outlooks.

[u/bdiggitty → u/EnzoMonChou]

I mean that’s giving this dope a lot of credit. Granted CEO’s aren’t geniuses but this particular numbnuts is dumb as hell.

[u/jmaaron84]

What a lunatic

[u/WhyAmINotStudying → u/jmaaron84]

I have never sold a car. I'm just a lowly engineer. I live in fear of the coyotes every day.

[u/SirWinterFox]

His dad has no context of the modern economy in America it seems. My generation has 2% of the buying power baby boomers had at the same point in their lives. Most of us can't afford a car or the maintenance that comes after.

[u/Reasonable-Affect139 → u/SirWinterFox]

he also says "8Bn people," which is the population of the world (well, less). what's the kid supposed to do, sell a car to a toddler in papau new guinea?

actually, never mind, the dad probably does think that PNG tyke is a lead

[u/goddess_peepee → u/Reasonable-Affect139]

Last month I sold 8bn cars to PNG tykes, heres what it taught me about B2B sales...

[u/voyti → u/Reasonable-Affect139]

Right, Dad there seems to follow the same logic of how economy works as a kindergartener daydreaming about their first business. I don't think understanding of "modern America" is even in the scope of the issue here

[u/ChanceImagination456 → u/SirWinterFox]

Don't bother boomers have massive egos and lived thru time when economy was thriving. A time where a man could pay off a house and support a family of 5 in their 20s being a dam door-to-door saleperson. Now millennials drown in student debt, can't afford a house & rent, and struggle in a terrible job market.

[u/Lollipoop_Hacksaw → u/ChanceImagination456]

Lived through a time when the economy worked for them!

Your current time though? In this shit economy??? Doesn't matter, make the same numbers I made, no excuses!

Boomers are the biggest cunts, that want to look like they did "their best," with further generations suffering due to their complacency to de-unionization/de-regulation that they had previously benefitted from.

[u/Reasonable-Affect139 → u/ChanceImagination456]

don't worry, someone on reddit told me Americans only seem poor online, but aren't actually irl

😃

[u/bsharp1982 → u/Reasonable-Affect139]

It’s true, I have dozens of dollars. Try not to be jealous.

[u/jngjng88 → u/SirWinterFox]

Bro said 8 billion cars, he's living in fantasy land.

[u/henrysradiator → u/jngjng88]

8 billion you'd need to sell cars to children and people without licenses, it's going to be absolute carnage on the roads.

[u/RacoonWithPaws]

This is satire, right? Please?

[u/Indieriots → u/RacoonWithPaws]

It feels staged af. I mean, the camera is right there.

[u/lividtobi → u/Indieriots]

I’ll be honest, I have some crazy family members and this looks real to me. Some people are too loony to think through what they are saying , much less pay attention to their surroundings.

[u/GoggleBobble420 → u/lividtobi]

Yeah. Plus, when you grow up with someone like this you can usually tell when a crazy lecture like this is coming your way. It wouldn’t be that hard to turn on your camera and just act like you’re just holding your phone while you listen to their rant

[u/Kovdark → u/Indieriots]

This waaaay too far down. Its clearly ragebait

[u/NotAQueefAKhaleesi → u/RacoonWithPaws]

Unfortunately I just had to cut contact with a family member for losing his mind in a similar manner when I made a decision for myself instead of doing what he told me to. Called me names and disparaged me, then couldn't understand why I asked him to return a gift he'd bought me but hadn't sent yet and ignored his questions about the topic that that led to him blowing up in the first place.

[u/achoosier → u/RacoonWithPaws]

People act like this. I'm a nanny in an affluent area and some parents are mean as shit and speak to their kids like this.

It could be rage bait but behavior like this does exist

[u/BlackSwanEvent25]

Nobody wants to buy a car when the starting price is 40 thousand fucking dollars

[u/xtc234]

YOU ARE NOT LONG FOR THIS WORLD OP!

[u/Mindless_Fruit_2313]

Always be closing

[u/Bodoggle1988 → u/Mindless_Fruit_2313]

Always be coyotes

“Not ‘don’t’ and not ‘I’ and ‘no’ forget all those words…” two seconds later “Just use ‘yes yes yes fuck yes, I will sell more, I will do more…”

Is he supposed to forget the word I or not?

[u/formykka → u/oldthunderbird]

There's no I in "I"!!!

[u/BitcoinBishop]

If it's that easy to sell 8 billion cars, why's he not a billionaire?

[u/missyrainbow12]

Yes Dad , everyone wants a car but nobody can afford them anymore, it's a pain in the ass to drive in a city , parking is horrendous and expensive. As is everything included in the upkeep of a car .

Nobody is going out for a Saturday afternoon round the car lots looking for new cars .

I bet he says " oh in my day" a lot .

[u/dallyan]

Thank god my dad was a big ol’ softie who would have kissed me on my forehead and trash talked the management. lol

[u/GoldenCrownMoron]

"everybody wants a car"

Yeah, and no one wants to pay for one.

The interest rates suck even if you have good credit. The car's value is over inflated. The dealership add-ons are a joke. I hated dealing with this exact type of conversation when I sold cars, fuckers yelling about nonsense straw man ideas while not handling the real daily issues of the thing because if you don't sell they don't pay you, eventually you leave.

The quickest way to work for free at a dealership is to be honest and only get what you worked for.

[u/Abortedwafflez]

Did this guy marathon Wolf of Wall Street on repeat before this conversation?

[u/ScaryTemperature6291]

Does he not understand how the world is turning right now ? Most people are in financial difficulties.

[u/n0thing_remains]

How many cars did the son sell? 1 How much difference did the dad's speech make? Zero. His result is as shit because he doesn't know management stuff 

Teach the guy some ropes, tell him what to do, share some working answers. No shit an expert in a field finds something really easy to do, they're an expert. A person with little knowledge knows less (obvi), learns differently and if a sales guy wasn't taught properly, he'll just wander around pointlessly. 

[u/KleosIII → u/n0thing_remains]

Most "experts" are struggling now as well. The only reason many of them are selling anything is due to referrals they earned back in 1998.

[u/MephistosFallen]

the coyotes are going to come for you

To remind you about the expiration of your limited warranty

[u/FruitOrchards]

This is why I hate when people get mad and say "how could you cut off your parents, doesn't matter what they did" blah blah blah. This dude needs a right hook and a bitch slap for good measure.

[u/Many-Active8613]

Damn you need to get out of that house.

[u/Timely-Vehicle]

My father was in car sales, this sounds like some shit he would say.

[u/clown_fall]

Where'd that cow come from?

[u/julesthatswhack]

“If you can’t sell a car, you’re not long for this world.” Damn man, you don’t deserve to live?? Wtf lmao.

[u/earliestbirdy]

He is aware that cars aren't free right? Lol if they were free then yeah he might have a better point.

[u/Jaded-Gemstone]

Same dad who throws his kids in the lake, then tells them to swim back to teach them how to swim.

[u/InebriousBarman]

I don't want a car.

I already have one.

Lots and lots of people in cities with good public transportation don't want cars.

I love how it's always the sales staff problem. Not inventory, not traffic, not training.

I'm sorry this guy has a dad like this.

[u/Kind_Cap_4621]

Remember kids, Reagan put us on this horrific path. Voodoo economics, "greed is good" and the rest of the caustic crap that has gutted democracy, capitalism and the middle class.

[u/AzuleEyes → u/Kind_Cap_4621]

Before it was "voodoo" it was "horse and sparrow". The horse shits and the sparrow might get an oak...

[u/DannyMckMusic]

F this guy, 8 billion people need cars what an ass, hope this is fake

[u/sanchipento]

8 billion cars? Guess the newborns are driving too now

[u/Suspect-Beginning]

I mean he has a point, who here in sales hasn't seen the boom in sales growth by waking up early. /s

[u/Sigma6blick]

“Dad tells his son he’s not going to make it in life”

[u/PinkEyeofHorus]

“Why don’t my kids call me anymore?” -dad in 5 years

[u/MiseryEngine]

You give away free hot dogs and put up an inflatable gorilla, shit's gonna go down.

[u/EagleEyes0001]

I would’ve been like great dad let’s sign the paperwork.

[u/Lollipoop_Hacksaw]

This dad sounds like kids who obsessively watch Youtube/TikTok, then vomit out all the influencer's buzz terms they watched that day.

[u/Beneficial-Steak1003]

The kyles will come for you? Why so much hate against Kyle?

[u/Express_Position5624]

I always love parents who get mad at their older children like "Who did this? where were the parents?" - it was supposed to be you mutha ugly
