Project: Beat Old F150 aka "BIG SIX"
#72
i'm too pissed off to write something funny Undecided

I walk into the shop office this afternoon to pay for the truck. The owner, a service writer, and a mechanic are in the shop.

Owner: hi how can we help you
Me: i'm here to pay for the F150
Owner: uhhh its not done yet
Me: I know, i'm in town, i figured i would pay for it now and pick it up later night
Owner: oh okay, well the total is $604.98, how would you like to pay?
Me: cash
Owner: uhhh i hope i have change
Me: *i hand over $650*
Owner: i think i might be able to come up with change (his back is turned in the register)
Me: so when do you think it will be done?
Owner: he (points to the mechanic in the room) is going to get your truck pulled in the bay now
Me: okay..... so what was wrong with the drive shaft? did the ear break off or bend or something
AT THE SAME TIME the owner and the mechanic speak
Owner: it was missing a cap and wallowed out one side
Mechanic: the ear broke on the press.

because the truck wasnt done i didnt want to press the issue...
Me: oh okay...
Owner: we'll lock up the truck with the key in it and make sure it is parked where you can get it (hands me change)

*** before i left for the shop i checked the rear shaft for play, there was none. all the u joint caps have BIG retainer clips and were all there before the trip to the shop... how did i lose the cap? i'm not a fucking idiot but i just want my damn truck back... but right now i wish they would burn in hell ***
