Yelling?!? Yeah that wouldn't work with me... Anytime my tires are rotated, balanced, etc. I always check over what the dealership or Sears Auto adjusts the tires to as they both inflate several lbs. higher than I do (placard specs) and I have checked with 3 different gauges just to be sure my go-to gauge was close.
When the topic of preventive maintenance comes up I tell them I check my tire psi twice daily to adjust for temp. changes. You should see the puzzled looks I get. I do check/adjust twice monthly on average, especially with drastic temp. changes.
