Whoops...

The door adjacent to this one is boarded up cuz same dude sent a roll off can through it. Glad it’s not my money!

 

We've had our share of garage door incidents at the shop also, they are always funny after the fact.

A few years back one of my long time friends was working with me, after a wonderful Saturday at work he decided he would pull his truck up to the door and air a low tire up. I was looking out the window of the next building over just in time to see him pulling up to the door in his truck half hanging out of it like he was ready to jump out and air the tire up quickly. When he pulled up he missed the brake pedal, panicked and hit the e brake (which didnt work) and drove through the shop door. I was laughing uncontrollably, which may not have been appropriate but I couldnt help it, his dramatic reaction didnt help either.

A year or so ago a mechanic had a trailer in his bay and he was working on the lights. He left it attached to a shop truck to run the lights, the trailer was in his bag and the shop truck was outside of it and he had lowered the door in between the two to block the sunlight. Low and behold somebody else comes by and jumps in the truck and tries to take off (after doing a great walkaround) and removes a couple panels of the door.

Same mechanic a couple months ago, one bay down from the last incident. An older ditch witch came in to be serviced, he was not familiar with this piece of equipment and he jump started it in gear (safety switch had been disabled by field crew) and it drove itself out of the bay.

 

That's the way I doit

 

dont ever leave 1/2 of the pto shaft on the back of a bulldozer after you pull the dyno away from it and forget about it.....it WILL break the u- joint and fly thru the wall.

 

How do you know this...?

 

Yes. I would like to no how he ascertained that information also.

 

Chit happens. Glad nobody got hurt, or the dozer.

 

Cabin air filter?

 

That's also my question Chris. My chit is older and I don't think I have one, but looking at the pic, wow. Maybe I should get one.

 

But none of my other cars had a cabin filter why would I need to replace it?

 

2018 freightliner with 6200 mi on it.....guess i should check the filter more often

 

Chit, I'd check the friggin window crank to make you could close the dang thing.

 

Parked downwind from something where it shouldn't have been? A friend parked his brand new fully loaded Ford Supercab downwind of a grinder - mixer and left it idling. He was not happy with the cab full of chaff and dust.

 

yeah its a bucket truck

 

...and that's, the rest of the story.

 

That's really hurtful

 

At least I fessed up to it

 

True, you could have said it belonged to somebody else. No one would have known...

 

It does belong to someone else
