Never a truer word spoken 🤣
Lucky we love our jobs, right? RIGHT? 😝
Bec’s Unqualified Job Observations:
Mechanics
Mechanics genuinely have the patience of Buddhist monks because I would last eleven minutes dealing with customers who suddenly become Formula 1 engineers the second their Corolla makes a funny noise.
These poor bastards spend 15 years learning engines, diagnostics, wiring, transmissions and enough technical knowledge to probably launch a satellite, only for some bloke to walk in holding a Facebook screenshot going:
“Nah mate the bloke in this comment section reckons it’s just the flux capacitor.”
Brother the bloke in the comment section also thinks 5G caused rain.
And every single mechanic knows the customer who comes in already convinced they’ve diagnosed the problem themselves.
“Yeah I watched a YouTube video.”
Oh perfect. Well pack it up fellas. Certified Master Technician Cheryl watched a seven minute tutorial while eating Shapes in bed.
Then when the mechanic explains the actual issue you can SEE the customer fighting for their life not to argue.
“Hmmmm… yeah right.”
YEAH RIGHT?
Mick’s been fixing cars since before Bluetooth existed and you drive around with your fuel light on so long the car’s basically surviving on prayers.
Also why do people suddenly become deaf when mechanics tell them servicing matters?
“Your oil’s completely gone.”
“She’ll be right.”
No Barry, she actually won’t. That’s why your engine currently sounds like two possums fighting in a wheelie bin.
And mechanics cop the absolute greatest lie ever told by mankind:
“Nah mate I haven’t touched anything.”
Meanwhile there’s zip ties holding the battery in, a garden hose where coolant pipes should be and somehow a Kmart phone charger tangled around the engine bay.
Then comes the bloke who wants the cheapest fix humanly possible.
“What’s the absolute bare minimum?”
Mate your brake pads are thinner than deli ham. The bare minimum now is a priest.
Honestly mechanics deserve medals because they spend their entire lives dealing with people who know absolutely nothing about cars but suddenly develop the confidence of Henry Ford after watching one bloke on YouTube explain the flux capacitor.
Stay unhinged, legends ✌🏼
