I think I've got you all beat:

About a week ago, the wife takes the car (a 2005 Chrysler 300 Touring) in to the Firestone for an inspection sticker and an oil change. Before long, the guy says: I noticed a little wear on your brakes, would like a "complementary" brake inspection? So the wife figures: why not? He then shows her a brake rotor with some grooves on it and got her to agree to have them all replaced instead of having them turned. Cost: $1200.00. I flipped out, the wife felt bad, and now she won't have ANYTHING done to the car without me there.
