This place is an extension of society in general.

If ya think it's bad here, try working a parts counter! Daily confrontations include a guy coming in all apologetic because he doesn't know how to explain what he needs, to a smart-assed, condescending know-it-all who intends to teach the world everything there is to know about cars - just ask him!

Thick skin comes with experience working with the public, and often gained via the "school of hard knocks". Next time somebody throws a wrench or a case of oil filters at you and misses just get over it, and move on as your chance to 'get even' will likely come. Don't let it stick in your craw or you'll become one the 'those guys'.
