If you are getting paid to do a job
Why not- you know- make some effort to understand what the hell you are doing?
I spent all day yesterday repairing a machine that was damaged by the serviceman who was supposed to be repairing it. Look: if you have a 18mm deep threaded blind hole, and you have a 20mm long bolt, it’s not going to tighten, see? No matter how much you want it to. And continuing to tighten it afterwards? Well, that’s going to make it worse, because then you’ll yank the threads out of the aluminum body of the part. OK? maybe you should try baking, or something. I don’t think you were cut out to do mechanical work.

The previous repairman is probably a lousy lover, too.
It always shows in one’s work.

Sounds like the type who thinks “If I set the oven twice as high, the cake will bake in half the time!” Incompetence of that level should stay the hell out of the kitchen.

“If it don’t fit, force it.” It’s a bad rule for mechanics, cargo supervisors, and lovers.
I did cast unfair aspersions on a noble profession. I apologize.
Maybe it was that whole metric thing that threw him. Is 20 still bigger than 18 in metric? ;)
My Dad once saw a guy trying to turn a screw the wrong way. When he pointed the error out the guy replied “But I’m left-handed!”
“But I’m left-handed!â€
Does he work where I work? Because that sounds like a lot of the stuff I hear at work.
Og: Just remember the rule of kitchen ruin: The bread may forgive you. The baker probably won’t.
My favorite has to be the ‘caulk gun heroes’.
The idiot fix-it men and homeowners who think they can repair a major fuckup with a couple of tubes of latex Dap.
Oh, lord, Dick, I got a TON of that at this house I need to fix. Not looking forward to it
