please dont blur the line between making stupid conversation and reality.
Fair enough this is gen d, my bad man..
But I just wanted to throw my point of view out there
I mean for the given situation, yeah it was ******* dumb, but as far as the principle I was just saying I don't think the guy deserves the sense of failure, any competent human would understand and feel it, holy **** I fucked up bigtime
I understand where you and banzai are coming from though, which is totally justifyable, just a point of view I didn't see right off the bat

My self esteem comment is based on the way todays Generation is CODDLED in school/home and recreation activities so that they "never feel bad". Hell, in some school districts you cant even give a dumbfuck an "f" because it "will damge his self esteem"
If you learn how to fail at a young age and what it means, failure turns into an excellant teaching tool. It tells you what you DONT KNOW. I have failed at crap all my life, but you dont see me wa-whaing to mommy. The DF in this incident is probably bad-mouting every one in the dealership, his tech school teachers and the carr owner for picking on his dumb-***!
Watch the Carlos Mencia DVD...you'll wet yourself laughing.
I've trained people who don't ever want to improve before. It's frustrating knowing that they don't ever want to do their job well, and it's even more frustrating knowing that management won't cut them loose. At least the most damage they can do at my job is scrap a $1000 pump...unless they get really silly.

If it were my car I'd be happy to have a brand new engine.
Kinda what I was thinking. Sucks for the business, but thats what insurance is for.

Speaking of doing stupid things that cost a lot of money.... An instructor at the flight school last week was too busy reading his check list with the student while they were parked in a twin engine seminole, and slowly moved forward into a parked 152. The prop struck the 52's prop and cut it clean off the spinner. Total Cost to replace both engines and fix some of the body damage will be well over 20k. Not to mention down time of seminole that generate $250 an hour that flys almost 24/7.
