Customer today with a 53 corsa 1.2 bottom end has chewed itself, knocking lots.
The car has 5 litres of oil in it.......... why has the bottom end gone? Answers on a postcard....
It made me laugh

The 5 ltrs of oil were brand new in the container in the boot and he`d been "meaning" to top up for months ?
Did it have enough space to put 5 litres in there

Lol yeah didnt think it'd be sussed that quick well done
haha just as bad as a customer i had today, drained sump on a 1.1 saxo to find litrially 1/4 of a litre of oil in it.. lady then tells us she must have been topping up the wrong hole.......
lol
Makes me chuckle even more that the engine was knocking yet they still drove it to us without putting oil in????????????????????????????
lol wrong hole. we had someone trying to top up the dipstick once, as thats where the oil is??????? lol
hahaha thats a new one !!
Ive also learnt never to tell people to "put SOME oil in it" because regardless of the level they usually just buy some and put it in. lol
i'll give her wrong hole....haha just as bad as a customer i had today, drained sump on a 1.1 saxo to find litrially 1/4 of a litre of oil in it.. lady then tells us she must have been topping up the wrong hole.......

lol so busy filling that hole that she forgot to top the oil.

put a quick shift in for the lads ayyy ! lol
My friend once told me she had topped her oil up yet the light wouldn't go off. Turns out she put about an egg cup full in through the dipstick hole.
ive heard..an you 'here' a lot that an mot tester failed a car for a very rotten floor....
the car was back in a week later....
We had a taxi in the other week, for a few bits and bobs, we turned him away about 6 months before because we couldnt do the welding needed. i put the ramp leg on the sill and ...... pretty sure u can geuss where thats going, or where the ramp leg ended up going lol. i rang him and told him we couldnt do the work on it because of the sills, his answer was.... "well it passed the mot" shocking. Complete disregard for the safety of his passengers.
had a lorry come in last week, on the merc truck it tells you on the dash if the oils low and how much it needs,the driver said it said to put in 1litre of oil so he did tryed again still said needs 1 litre of oil, 4litres later thought he'd come in to get us to have a look,but on the way over he had to use the screen washer 2 or 3 times then found he couldn't see out the windscreen
Not mechanical, but here goes, my stupidest customer ever.
Guy pulled round, yes mate? "i will have a £2.50 car wash", so took his money got his change on returning to his car i said, "mind you had better close your sunroof", he replies "ah its Ok its stuck like that"
I honestly could not get my words out

The best one at my work (Postie), was during a foot of snow a couple of years back. Customer rings up, fuming, demanding to speak to a manager:
"I've had no post for 2 days"
"Sorry Sir, but due to the snow we've been unable to complete deliveries...bla bla bla bla..... However, if you're local, and near the office, you can pop in with some ID, and collect any mail for you that's already been sorted."
"I can't come down to the delivery office. There's a foot of snow outside, and I can't get out the end of my road"
i used to work in mcdonalds many years ago....
a middle ages woman came in, looked at the menu and then asked if we did fish and chips......
more recently...
as gsf ebay dept sits next to me, one of them aint the smartest. - ebay customer phones up with a problem, gsf girl asks "do you have internet connection?".....
Ah yes, good old Mcdonalds! Most staff but I will admit not all are like this:-
"Hello can I help you"
"Yes please, can I have a medium big mac meal with a coke"
"Is that a large meal sir?"
"No, a medium please"
"What drink would you like"
"COKE!!!!"
Honestly this happens to me quite a lot. The art of listening and remembering is lost on the youth of today I think. I know the till asks if its a large or medium after you have selected a big mac meal and then asks what drink but surely its not hard to remember I have said ""Can I have a medium big mac meal with a coke" when these auto prompts come up!?!
I could wright a book honest.
Customers trying to go though the wash with a bike on the roof.
Customers asking should i hoover or wash my car first.
Its a conveyor wash so brakes off car in neutral, the amount of times people put the hand brakes on, or drive an automatic and don't know where neutral is, im screaming N N N Nuuuuuu.
People driving all the way through the wash when i sak them to stop, then complaining after that there wash is no good.
"Hello i want my car cleaned", ok then what sort of valet would you like? "cleaned inside and out". I now always ask quick tidy up or something more thorough?
Can a soft top go through, yeah its fine, i can just lift the horizontal brush over the roof if you would prefer, then they drive away.
I pick up the jet gun to jet their car and they sit there looking at me with their window down.
My brother has a recovery truck and he parks further down the site when in for a cuppa, the amount of people that park behind it thinking its in the que for the wash.
Rainy days we have the shutters down bar about 1ft, with the valet inside the wash working away on it, then you hear a voice from under the shutter "are you open?"

we had a customer in once who had a puncture, they come in and said
"I've got a puncture, but I don't think all the airs come out of it because its only flat at the bottom"
i like the "can you repair my puncture, i put that get you home spraycan in it to get here"we had a customer in once who had a puncture, they come in and said
"I've got a puncture, but I don't think all the airs come out of it because its only flat at the bottom"
erm........F*ck off, im not cleaning that sh1t up..
I had someone ask me "can you repair this....?"
I said, yep, I'll take it out and straighten it out for you....... Oh, and your tyre is U/S by the way....

We had another guy complain that he got a parking ticket while at our Dealership........
I had to sort it out with him, so I said, "Can you show me where the car is please...?"
It didn't take long to find..............

We had a guy bring a rifle in the other week. 1 round in the chamber with the safety off and 3 more in the magazine. When we confronted him on it he claimed it had been in his boot for weeks and he didn't realise it was loaded.
Another one i had, went to undo a set of wheels with an impact gun, fairly decent one with a fair bit of tourque and it wasnt even budging, then i tryed my other impact one from the airline, after holding it there with the button right back for atleast 5 seconds it sligtly budges. i then got a tourqe wrench out to kinda work out what the guy had it set to, in the end roughly worked out he had them torqued up to 350NB!! i couldnt believe it he told me later on when i mentioned it to him he gave then a finaly TIGHTEN before he took it away !!
Thats a good one
