Tire Guy: Yeah, we're going to have to charge you a lot to fix your tire. Whoever patched it last time didn't do it right.
Me: You guys did it last time so if it wasn't done right you should do it for free.
Tire Guy: Our records show we patched the driver side front, not the passenger rear.
Me: What else do you have in your records concerning my car care?
Tire Guy: Uh, we did an oil change for you a month after that.
Me: Go on...
Tire Guy: What?
Me: What else did you do for me, which I get done everytime I get an oil change from you?
Tire Guy: ... (upset) A tire rotation...
Me: So the patch is free then.
Tire Guy: Fine.
