ok i didnt punch him but i wanted to. this is what happened:
I went into a local performance shop called VSV Performance and i was just kinda looking around. I realized i needed new spark plugs so i was gonna buy a set. I asked the guy behind the counter which spark plugs would be best for my civic. He said "these" and handed me a set of NGK OEM plugs. I knew that they were the best plugs so i bought them. They were $25 dollars for 4. I didnt think this price seemed too outrageous because the bosch's i had on my old car were about the same price.
I realized later that the price for OEM was kinda steep. So i went to Pep Boys and found THE EXACT SAME PLUGS for $1.99 a peice, same barcode number and everything! so i bought them for like $8.50.
Then i proceeded back to VSV with the their spark plugs, and Pep Boy's spark plugs and said "i want my money back because i just bought these exact same plugs, and a fawking pepsi for under $10 at Pep Boys!"
The guy new he had been owned, so he gave me my cash back. It felt so good to make him feel stupid for ripping me off. stupid @$$hole.
Not to mention that when i bought them in the first place, he told me that he had dyno'd a civic with bosch plugs, then switched to NGK and gained 10whp!! what a TOOL.

you also screwed up for taking him seriously after he gained hp on a civic with spark plugs.

I buy the Bosch +4 spark plugs, and they seem to be doing just fine for me. I think it was like 12 or 16 bucks for the set :dunno:
Sometimes more.
