thats crazy ive worked on some stupid peoples cars but that rediculas.
the worst that ive ever seen was one young lady came to me and said her brakes were making lowd noises for a while now. but she wasn't woried about it, till that morning, she said the brakes started acting funny the pad on the piston side had wor through the roter so bad that the roter that is usually 7/8 of an inch thick was now 1/4 inch thick. the pad had dissipard and the piston was pushing on the rotter itself and had acculy poped out of the caliper and got jamed in place. needless to say she needed an entir bake job on both sides. i wasn't complane more money in my pockets :d

I didn't get pictures, but here's what happened. I had electronic shifter problems on the deck engine of a twin pumper, made the appointment to bring it in the following day. Was late 5 minutes to the shop (driving in Edmonton with a semi can be a biotch, lol) pulled up to the gate when a mechanic came running out of the building waving his arms and shouting at us. He looked furious. Looking around to see what I might have done, I rolled down the window and this guy tells me to get the pumper into the shop as fast as I can! I was a little confused about what was going on, so he ran to the cab of the truck, pulling my operator out of it, jumps in and almost hits high range into the shop. Needless to say my mouth hit the ground, but when I took a breath, all I could smell was a sewer. Parked beside us was a highway hauler that was covered in human poo & toilet paper. Apperently the three guys who drove the unit had cut a hole in the floor of the bunk and just deficated through the hole when ever the need arose, covering the under-carrage of the truck. Nice... :eek:
