Just because 81 is the man, I will answer car questions but.

Doesn't mean I like them..
I have been working on cars professionally since I was 16 years old. Licensed and full of passion back then. I used to love fixing cars and making them go faster, but anymore it is beyond boring and is actually turning to hatred..
Nothing pisses me of more than a customer meandering back into the shop to talk about his classic car and the mods he has done to it.. Dude, I don't give a fuck!! Is the shit broken? I will fix it.. other than that, who cares if your GTO has the original wax pencil marks made at the factory..

And just because I work on cars does NOT mean I like NASCAR!! I fucking hate NASCAR and nothing would make me happier than to choke you with your Jeff Gordon shirt..

And if you are old, quit telling me about the "good 'ol days" when you used to work on your own car.. The new shit is way better, get over it..

I love to tell my customer that we should all be riding bicycles.. everyone is in a good mood on a bicycle

Anyone else hate the "extra" things that come with their job??

    That's gotta suck being bored by small talk about your job, sure it's what you do but customers should know that it's all you hear all day. And anyone that makes a joke, you've probably heard it 20 other times that day too, it's not original.

    for you, I would answer car questions outside of work.. but i normally try to avoid it.. at parties I usually tell people I work at a grocery store so they will leave me the fuck alone.. Nothing worse than getting cornered by a guy that "did brakes on his wife's car last weekend and now they".....

    Dream cruise is great if you love being stuck in a traffic jam surrounded by vehicles that produce the most pollution EVER!! bring Tylenol or a gas mask..

    Seriously???? agghhh.. what are you driving?? typically in american cars the clock ring behind the steering wheel is the culprit. It is the one component of the airbag system that is constantly worked..

    When you say you work on cars, you aren't talking about dancing on the hood of one at an auto show, right?

    And regarding the "extras" that come with your work... try being the emergency nurse at virtually any event you could imagine.

    "Aunt Mary passed in her Scorpion Bowl at the rehearsal dinner? Get Unlost, she's an emergency nurse!"

    Neighbor slipped in the bathtub, conked her head, can't get up, husband comes running down our driveway yelling my name. "Unlost! Unlost!" I came running out from the shower. (I did stop to grab a t-shirt and shorts before I went out the front door.)

    Or, my favorite _ friend's daughter is nauseous after having her wisdom teeth out. Prescribed an antiemetic (anti nausea) medication, in the form of _ you got it _ a suppository! "Hello, Unlost? Would you mind coming across the street and shoving this bullet up my daughter's behind?"

    I've always wanted to learn the screwdriver trick! Can you do it on a volkswagen? I think I'd have much more street cred when I'm chasing down phone stealing crack addicts if I we're starting my car with a screwdriver.

    ...As far as the the car jacking goes I hadn't really thought about it. But I like the added bonus of the coffee. Nothing like a nice cup of joe after committing a felony.

    The screw driver will work on older cars.. I have done it..

    But is much simpler to break open the steering column and just actuate the rod..

    Modern cars with chips in the key wont allow this.. but, it is pretty easy to record the vin of the car on night one, have a key made at a dealership on day two, and steal the car night two.. But I have no idea what I am talking about so disregard..

    I fix computers. Anytime I go for lunch or a cup of tea I get the "oh, while I see ye there, can you take a look at my iphone/blackberry/ipad/laptop"

    And no, I haven't heard anyone take the piss out of the "have you tried turning it off and on again" resolution. It fixes 90% of issues you've caused yourself. Fuck off!

    I'm a R &D Scientist that gets to work with Chlamydia & Gonorrhea pretty much everyday...recently we've been getting in some clinical specimens to use for our project...I'll let you think about what these specimens include. Overall I like my job and don't mind talking "shop" to people outside work...it's just that most people are scared to talk to me about my job after they find out what I do :lol::lol:

    I work with people, but it doesn't really mean I like anyone :problem: :think:

    My brother is a car guy and I am thankful for that. Although I'm sure he regrets it every time he gets one of my texts "my car made a weird sound. Not really a hissing or a whirring...kind of like a pinging. Oh nevermind it stopped. Wait it did it again. Maybe it is a hissing. Can I bring it by before work?"
