last night i was driving to muchas gracias in vancouver WA, and in the safeway parking lot on 112th and burton (where muchas is located) some dude decided to run a white dryer hose from his exhaust into his passenger window.... and sit there in the freaking parking lot right off of the biggest safety corridor around (most cop speed traps and patrols within the city) and of course the lot wasnt empty and muchas' drive through is 24 hours so obviously someone was going to see him
if that isnt a pathetic cry for attention im not quite what sure what is
im kinda tempted to watch the news for once to see if it comes up i know several people that saw him called 911 i saw an ambulance, fire truck and a few cops swarming to the area as i was leaving with my food
$100 says he is hangin out in a little padded room right now while they try to figure out what his issue is

i had a grown man come into checker last week and throw a temper tantrum because we didnt have a specific spark plug for his "race car"

dude didnt even know what size engine he was using, and didn't make things any better by throwing cans of brake parts cleaner across the store...

Here in Winchester, V.A. a few days ago a 20 year old woman robbed a bank. She robbed it to get money to get her boyfriend out of jail. He was in jail because he owed $4,000 in back child support.
She was arrested in the the clerk of court's office in the courthouse when she went to pay the bill, less than 2 hours after robbing the bank! Can you say dumb crook news!

lady came into the store today asking for a "710".

we had no clue what she meant, and tried to help her to the best of our ability, but to no avail. she left in quite the pissy mood.

came back with her boyfriend, turns out she needed an OIL cap. yep, finding those "710" caps can be a pain in the butt....

I put mine in the valve cover so that it reads 710, just to see if anyone asks.

when i lived in alaska we saw lots of tourists every year, and if you wanna see someone do some stupid stuff, go on vacation. people seem to leave their brains at home when they go on vacation.

i was driving a lifted 1977 f-150 sittin on 35" tires, it just so happened that only the front brakes worked cause i needed a proportioning valve, anyway drining home from work 1 day and this lady looked right at me then stepped out in front of me with her hand out in the "stop" position, looked down and took a picture of the sewer grate!!!!!! of all things she could have taken a picture of in alaska, she wanted to take a picture of a sewer grate! almost got killed in the process, i had to slam on the brakes and skid to a stop like 2 ft from her.


also 1 of my fav's are when the tourists get of the CRUISE SHIP onto the dock on an island in alaska and the first thing out of their mouth is "how far above sea level are we now?"

its funny to see the look on their face when you walk over to the edge of the dock and say "oh, bout 10 feet"

I had a knuckle-headed neighbor a long time ago that tried to paint his old POS truck with an old junk gas fired compressor. In the middle of spray painting it - the compressor ran outta gas and quit. So he quickly refilled the tank, (spilling gas all over his garage floor), and then when he went to crank the old junk compressor back up....it backfired.

Fortunately for him, when the paint and gas fumes ignited, the garage windows were open and the doors were partially open - or he would have been killed. Also, luckily he was near the doors at the time, so he just got banged up real bad and severely burned - but his poor old garage was nearly destroyed.

And his old POS truck was toast...literally.

This same neighbor was trying to help change a flat on a buddy's truck and stuck a 3/8" socket and adapter on a big long 1/2" breaker bar, and then stood with his whole weight on it trying to break a rusty old lug nut loose.

When the cheap 3/8 socket shattered from the strain - it sent a large chunk of it flying which planted itself firmly in his forehead. That earned him a stay in the hospital and a small piece of metal and some screws installed in his head to patch the hole that removing the piece of the socket left in his skull.

I did not see the person, but the first Pontiac dealer I worked at I had to give a Pontiac a valve job.... My boss the shop foreman/mechanic though I was a wuss, so he got up there and tried... No can do. It took both of us and a long bar to get the heads off...... And the cause. Some one put on the heads with Gorilla Snot... 3m Yellow glue for those who don't know what that is...... In 20 years I never saw or heard of that again.

My wife thinks buying Pumpkin's roller and moving my engine and transmission to it would be.

In the ARMY at Ft Rucker I watched a mechanic walk under a tail boom of a helicopter, I big no no if you are in avation. The OH-58 helicopter, also called a jet ranger 3, was running. Well he walked into the tail rotor. Lets just say he will never do that again. Not a fun thing to watch, somethong I will never forget.

If it ran like that....acuras cant be all bad. dumbest thing Ive ever done..I mean seen someone do an idiot put a pinhole leak in a radiator with a horse weed then drove to get a keg. Then filled the radiator with stop leak and a few days later went on a road trip. Two days later driving home over-heat burn hole in piston and the 289 still drives 50 to 60 miles with no oil or water and gets me/ I mean him home. Rebuilt on a shoestring only replaced the burnt piston and ran until sold just couldnt shut it off hot unless you were going to stay ahwhile. Stupid-Ass. 1966 Ford Bronco. I drove that truck to work three or four years after that. Couldnt run it with the radiator cap closed and couldnt use a thermostat found out the hard way what engine compression does with water and a radiator when its revved. Never had oil in the water or water in the oil just compression in the water. Had another 1966 Bronco with a 6 cylinder even tougher. Ahh to be twenty year ago........

EDIT: I put water and a quart of oil in it when we got gas about five miles after it smoked so bad I couldnt see my passed out passenger. Then we drove another 20 or so miles to a buddies house got there about daylight parked in the back. Partied till they woke up. His old lady put their dog out Bogart was his name Rottweiler my buddys boxers were on the clothesline we put them on the dog with his tail out the fly. Funny shit that dog acted like they were his. I ended up with that dog thirteen years later. Had him till he died in 2005 R.I.P. Bogart. You were one of the best.

When I was in college there were a couple oriental guys that had a big old Ford station wagon. The left rear tire was flat. All they had was a bumper jack. So instead of jacking up on the bumper like they were intended, they jacked up on the left rear fender just behind the left rear wheel. Needless to say that didn't work so well besides messing up the body!!!!

The things I see in the service station where I work never seems to amaze me. Daily! Radiators WIRED IN. People expecting us to come to their house and work on their cars in their garage. Wanting work done NOW when they are leaving town in an hour. Our alignment guy replaced Ball joints and aligned the front end on a 4 WD F150 recently. About a week later the guy cam back in with Transmission problems and just knew we screwed up the ball joints because he wasn't having any tranny issues before we worked on his front end. He left unhappy.
