I worked with a guy that talked about sending recruits to get an I.D. Ten T form, or sending others to the flight deck to watch for illegal flight patterns of G.U. Elevens & B.1.R.Ds, but it m pretty sure that dopey bastard spent hours trying to find them.

Good way to get rid of an idiot for about an hour...




and ...who here hasn't went to the parts house and asked for a radiator or coolant pump for 63 Vw Beetle.??

Think
Hell even the term coolant pump still gives the parts counter person a nice tilt.. Eh?

Its a daily goal for me....to find another way to make em squirm.. and learn. love it..


.

Send them out for spark plugs or ignition coil for the next diesel that rolls in. Back in the 90s I had some asshole argue with me that his diesel needed plugs & wires, after that, he got passed around from one shop to the next for the rest of the day.

Hell, for that matter, the next time one of the new "techs" asks you what's wrong with their job, hand them a timing light.

That same dopey bastard fancied himself quite the prankster. One day he tried the old tennis ball trick on my GTI. The gloves were off, I wired his parking brake switch to ground the negative side of his coil, he never did figure out why his car stalled when he took the brake off & drove it with the brake partially on until he sold it.

More fun than that was when he had just finished replacing a set of rod & main bearings on a 635CSI & went to lunch. I ordered another set of main bearings, took one bearing half out & smeared some assembly lube on it & dropped it on the floor under the car, then I went for a long lunch. It was quite amusing to see the boss & him trying to figure out where it came from when I got back.

Or sending someone to supply for a case of prop wash.
Or a box of pad eyes.
Or sending the newbie to the XO asking if he still had the keys to the aircraft he just flew. (Note to the uninformed: there are no keys.)

And isn't it nice when this thread is just fun stuff instead of slightly veiled comments supporting the orange haired idiot?

I always thought the idiots hair was dyed blonde, and constantly changing style.

Who has made comments supporting the orange haired idiot & wouldn't that make you an idiot for bringing him up when no one else has?

That seemed more of a derogatory remark to me, especially given the usual tendencies of California. Gotta love those new gun laws recently passed. Remember when you didn't have to defend yourselves with a pool noodle?

RW State Legislatures did not spend great amounts of time and the public's money trying to overturn a local government's ordinance about bathroom usage?

I guess it appears that our respective governments haven't affected us then, we'll keep our mags.

I guess you'll have to post it somewhere just so you can reminisce.

A whole bunch of those heat sensitive Zonies are over-populating our beaches in San Diego. Of course it is hot here inland but that tends to pull in the damp air from the ocean. Result? Fog, aka the Marine Layer. That marine layer is keeping the first 1/2 mile from the beach overcast and cloudy.

A: A Marine layer. Laughing

Remember when grocery stores & convenient stores had ads on the windows displaying the products they had or were on sale, now they are more concerned about displaying the fact that they have the lotto or accept WIC, SNAPS, or EBT.
