We were test driving new cars today and encountered a SPOTD at the Holden dealership in Essendon. Presumably unintentional, his mannerisms were the ultra-stereotype of a car salesman - an arrogantly brash, self-loving, over-the-top, don’t-listen-to-customers, aren’t-I-great kind of guy. Amongst the verbal diarrhoea spewing forth came an unsolicited comment he made about the dealership, whilst gripping his belt buckle and adjusting his pants in an attempt to demonstrate his manliness.

SPOTD: You know, we’re all great out here. Aren’t we good? We’re good. We’re just really really great.

Uh, fine - even if you’re not going to need two people for the conversation, how about letting customers be the judge of that? Also, this is Australia - making a comment like that is pretty much guaranteed to make people want to adopt the opposite position on principle.
