RUDE, RUDE PEOPLE
I recently went into the UHAUL in Oildale, (my first problem) and the manager there was the RUDEST PERSON ALIVE!!! First he threatened to charge my account $500, when it can only be charged double, (which I was fine with under the circumstances) then he said he would have me arrested if I didn't leave, and then told me to leave that he had to tend to other customers!! rnrnI had originally rented a trailor out of town to load my sons stuff from his apt, but ended up having to bring it here, where I had to put the stuff. I tried to rent a place out of town for him, but it was going to cost too much, so I decided to bring it home to my house!! WELL, he had a fit because it said that the trailor was to be returned where I rented it from!! I understood that it would be more bringing it to Bakersfield, and was ready to pay the difference, but not $500!! We all know he would be pocketing that money!! My other son also went into that same one a couple of months ago with a friend to rent one and the same guy was rude to them, so they just left and went somewhere else!! rnrnIf that PERSON is so miserable working with the public, do us all a favor and collect welfare or something and stay home and not work with the public!! For everyone else that's on welfare, one more won't hurt!!! And leave the working to people who actually WANT TO BE THERE!!!

There called D'aliens or 08ters. Real citizens from south of the river never refer to them as people. Oh give me a break Buckaroos, I was only ajoshin. posted by

I slowed down for someone trying to merge into traffic. The guy behind me flipped me off.
I saw a bumper sticker that said "Honk if you love Jesus". I honked. The driver flipped me off. I let the person behind me at the grocery store with just two items in front of me; not so much as a nod of thanks. I stopped to help somebody who's car had overheated. I gave them a plastic bottle and showed them where there was water flowing in an irrigation ditch. They asked if I wouldn't mind filling the bottle Should I just give up? posted by

Hey, nearly everybody here waves too. They just don't use all of the fingers on their hand. Think I'll move to Wyoming where people can extend all of their fingers to wave... Lazy Bakersfieldonians! Or is it Bakersfieldites? I just can't seem to remember. posted by

I drove through Wyoming once, and you are right. Everybody on the highway waved..... all three of them. Kind of like getting your flipping off done in bunches of 5. Flip 15 people off by waving at just 3. We could learn something here..

Ok I tend to agree with the Rude comment about this area. Not only in Oildale either.I came here from the East coast and never in my travels have I found a more bunch of unhappy and basically rude ppl.Traveing on the bus system there is not a friendly face there and to say " hi Good Morning " is out of the question cuz all you get back is a blank stare.Same thing in the afternoon.Walking around is just as bad you cant ask questions for directions with out knowing which to ask cuz they all have the same sour face look, Does anyone around here know how to smile and be courteous? Do they actually believe they are better than others, when they so obviously arent? Came here witht he intent of working and meeting new ppl but it dont seem like I want to live in a place with Rude and Unfriendly ppl.

They weren't being rude on purpose. They simply didn't understand you. You were probably speaking English on the bus. Not everybody here has a "please press button #1 for English"

I was stopped in traffic once on hwy 58. Everyone was stopped. I think there was a wreck ahead. The lady in front of me and her daughter turned around in their seats and put their hands out the window flipping me off. I was like, what on earth is their problem? I had no idea. When traffic started going again, they moved to the lane next to me and were screaming and flipping me off. By this time I had totally lost my temper. I motioned for them to pull over so they did. I rolled my window down to ask what the heck was wrong with them. They said I had no reason to follow so close to their bumper. I asked if she noticed that all the traffic was stopped. Her daughter then told me to lick her --------. I told the mom she must be so proud to have a filthy mouthed daughter. They were totally looney.

With the exception of driving LA people are friendly? They are at work for 9:00 hours (counting lunch), sleeping at home for 8:00 hours and stuck on the 405 (aka driving) the rest of the time. So what you are saying is that they are friendly when they are behaving at work or asleep?

I once rented a uhaul truck from the one in oildale - they were the only one with the size I needed - it was the biggest piece of crap I have ever seen. It was a stick shift I think from the 40's. Oh, and 2nd gear didn't work. It was noisy and slow and the most embarassing thing I have ever driven. Thank God I only had to take one load.

L.A. people friendly? Either it depends, or things have changed for the better.When I lived there, if you needed your car fixed, you'd better bring an attitude from hell, ready to pick a fight -- a real one -- because just about every mechanic in town was a who-gives-a-s#it a-hole. Go to a specialty shop? Be ready to argue with the person "serving" you. Infamous example: George's Photo Shop in Thousand Oaks. As often as not, if you came in wanting to buy something, the owner -- the owner! -- would actually start yelling at you, arguing with you, "what do want that for??" How he stayed inbusiness 12 years, I have no idea. Some of these little L.A. area shops... you'd better be ready for a g-damned fight. That being said, as far as Bako is concerned, is there something in the air this year?? In the past I could sing in places in considerable safety. This year, I'm finding myself breaking up fights. Even I'm not immune to a hideous temper this year. A week ago, I started a left turn 'round 8AM with the sun screaming in my eyes... No traffic accident, thank God, but yeah, it was my fault... I didn't see the very dark vehicle who already had the right of way because of the sun. Asshole swore at me... I damn near hung a U and took off after him. But then I talked sense into myself... "No, no, just walk away... It's not worth it... Besides, you'll be late for work." What is it this year? Whatever it is, it's even affecting me. posted by

I know! We'll all walk into the Uhaul and ask for the same truck. Then we'll start bidding on it until one of us is offering 4 to 5 times what it would normally rent for. Then, after everybody else leaves, the person who won the bid can say. "oops, I thought this was Ryder" and walk out. posted by

I do not mean this in a negative way at all Radcjb, but I would like to hear the UHaul guys side of the story too. posted by

Hey Nancy, what parallel lives we have lived. I also lived on Washington (100 & 400 block) and Woodrow (100 block) growing up. I wonder if you remember the bakery, the cab company, the two pharmacies, etc... Buford & Ollie's? Oh my, we must get together!
