Kejtar...I have never known a more hateful group of 'friends' in my life!! Don't they feel your pain...? Having spent the last twenty odd years installing flooring (how did your wood turn out anyway?) I have cut up just about every opendage my body has!(thankfully not my hooooootus!)
But as I tell all my apprentices.....DON'T BLEED ON THE CARPET!
I hope whatever you cut yourself with was real sharp. The cuts with the dull blades/edges take much longer to heal!
You may now join T-Bent in the infermery...(although he is probably all healed by now)
Hateful? Naw. Laughing? Yup... indeed. See, I spent most of my entire adult life as an Auto Tech. Worked at VW in Europe and GM. Small and big shops here in the US, and even owned my own shop.
See, a cut/sliced finger is nothing to me. I have had them all.... but customers do not care. So I can only use half of my digits..... "I could care less.... I want my car on time"
So when I see other people that complain about mechanics and what we charge (yeah, I still do some on the side.... and still love my Snap-On tools that save my knuckles!) and how they are getting ripped off....I get a good chuckle out of it. Not saying Remi is not a Mechanic... heck, for all I know, he may be a Computer Programmer.... but it seems fitting when people rip their skin apart, bleed all over the place, then whine about what Mechanics charge to do the job that they tried to do.... and cut their fingers open.
Don't get me started on the fools that keep bringing their 2nd, 3rd, 4th Alternator back saying it is bad.... When they cannot even troubleshoot a voltage draw.... but swear it is the fault of the Alternator that you sold em that is doing the same thing as the BAD one they took out. AND they have the bloody fingers to prove it!
Me.... I think it is funny. I live to see people with bloody fingers and knuckles. I love to see the same people complain about what Techs charge to work on their rigs. However, what is even funnier.... you look at what they do for a living.... and how much they charge an hour for their product. It is no longer funny.
See, a $100 Craftsman tool set makes everybody a mechanic these days. Ain't it grand?
Just some humor for your Tuesday night. Thats why I do not run my own Auto shop anymore.... everybody can do it these days. But damn... slice a finger? whoa boy.
hehehehe
How is that finger anyhow Remi?
