Last night I had another uncomfortable experience with a flim flam man. Only this time I caught him in the act. My previous experience with a flim flam man occurred in 2006 when I bought a new car. The salesman was very personable, spent much time gaining our trust before he closed the deal. The only thing that seemed amiss happened when we went to pick up the car. He stood in one spot next to the driver's door while we walked around the car. It turned out he was hiding a crimp in the door, damage that occurred in transit or at the dealership. A defect allowed the door to be extended too far -- so far that the front edge of the door ran into the hinge crimping a quarter inch wide strip like an accordion. Because he hid the defect with his body, we picked up the car and only noticed the damage when we got home. This is a flim flam man. A trickster. And last night I saw another.
