Can you imagine driving your Range Rover to the dealership for maintenance only to have this guy as your shuttle driver? It’s not already bad enough that your car is in the shop 24/7, but to make things worse, you have to deal with a shuttle driver who won’t shut up about people being jealous of him? I honestly cannot think of anything worse than that. Truly hell on earth.

droptopman · 22 August 2018, 08:49 AM

Odd post. You are working...

SemperFi · 22 August 2018, 08:53 AM

I really don’t have anything positive to add to this thread except to wonder why the OP felt compelled to burden us all with his insecurities.

why did op remove his profile picture of ray liotta laughing?

goin camping · 22 August 2018, 09:01 AM

To the OP and anyone else in his position.

Well done and congrats. Now enjoy yourself as much as possible.

Convince the wife to retire and go exploring.

Brenngun · 22 August 2018, 10:10 AM

I must be missing something here. So your annoyed with peoples response to your telling them your retired. I'm not sure how this comes up in everyday conversation with people you just met but if they ask just tell them your a car jockey. Problem solved.

After reading the original post, i dont know if I want to puke or laugh my head off. Interesting to say the least. Completely unsure what the reasoning for even posting this non-sense. I guess ill be accused of being jealous bc I’m 48 and still work......

codecow · 22 August 2018, 12:12 PM

Err why would you care what people think? Sounds like you need new friends.

>>Kudos to the OP’s dad.[/QUOTE]

Brilliant sir! I thought I was alone thinking that.

Man, what a thread. People suffer all manner of sickness, financial ruin, etc. And the OP has the unmitigated temerity to *complain* about early retirement: something most people can only dream about. Your great physical attributes also cause you grief too, wow you bear a terrible cross. And you post this:

On a luxury watch forum no less! A forum with many wealthy folks that could give a 'tinkers damn' about this so-called 'success' story.

Good God man, follow through with some volunteer work. Persue some extra education, give *anonymously* to charitable organizations, hell - do anything except complain about how your father's hard work put you in such a horrific situation.

Usually, if a thread doesn't appeal to me - I skip it. After reading a few replies I couldn't stop myself from commenting. Forgive my hard edged remarks but I can't help but be appalled by this kind of post.

You're probably a decent enough person, but I cannot sympathize with you or your burden. Good luck - I do mean that sincerely.
