Not a huge fan of these online "news" stories based on reddit threads so I'm sticking this in the humor section.

Employee Fills Boss's Jeep Tires to 97 PSI, Reports 'It Doesn't Go Up to 100 Percent'

The emplyoee, who was not familiar with typical tire pressures, thought they had to go to 100 percent.

Too bad there were no pictures of the tires themselves

Nothing surprises me today. This country has dumbed down to incredible levels.

I would bet my lunch, other than a very tiny contact patch, and harsh ride, you would not see any visual difference.

I agree. You wouldn't know the difference by just looking at it.

What kind of business owner hires someone to inflate tires that has clearly never done it before and then sets them loose on a customer's vehicle with no training?

"Training"??? To put air into a tire? Most housewives can do it in a skirt and heels..... But then again, we are talking about millennials.

Many people do not know that the tire pressures are not supposed to be set to the MAX PSI on the side of the tire.

This person didn't even know that much.

A meaningless ocurrance like this, turned into a Reddit bit (or any other news highlight) shows you how out of focus so many of us have become.

Maybe we should all try reading more important things or learning to play a musical instrument? Displacing this retarded fluff with something more wholesome and worthy of our brains' capacity might be worthwhile.

Had new tires installed couple years ago at one of the chain discount tire stores. Drive home seemed harsh, and steering seemed off. After thinking about it I decided to check the tire pressures the next morning. Should have been in mid 30's psi. One tire was in the mid 60's, while another was at 87 psi. Made a mental note to always check the tire pressures immediately after a new install.

I think they over inflate to check the seal when installing on the rim, and then should reset to correct pressures at install on the vehicle. The tech (using this term loosely) forgot the second part! Anyway, something else to be aware of.

Not surprising when you consider people detonate bombs for reveal parties now days.

Yes, but then you have the likes of women who claim to be sexually exploited, but then you see Elizabeth Hurley posting almost daily pictures of her in some bikini. Their self absorbed hypocrisy is mind numbing. For a good dose of this kind of junk, read Yahoo "news".

Agree. My wife would never do something so idiotic, but if she did, we'd have to have a talk.

It's always the butt ugly women crying and whining how the good looking ones are being, "exploited". It's all a load of crap.
