An angry English woman called cause she had some minor issue. She ended up going on a rant saying "I specifically asked to not be given one of these foreign cars. Can't you give me something British, like a Vauxhall?" I checked her account and could see she was driving an Opel Astra. She wouldn't believe me Vauxhall and Opel were the same brand. I'm not even going to go into her referring to things as foreign while she was literally in a foreign country... permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Granixo@feddit.cl 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) Oh dear lord, those grannies are the worst.
