This is "GOLD"

[Dayvo]

I just thought i would share this with you all , Number one sons rego label has been stuck on the side of the fridge for a few days . He was told last night that seeing it is your day off tomorrow you can put in on . I got home from work today and said sticker was still stuck to the fridge. When i asked what the story was ,he said "its been raining all day so i couldn't do it" .
When i asked what that had to do with it , he repiled "Well the windscreen is wet and it won't stick " I pissed myself laughing cos he thought you stuck it on the outside . Then i realised that little things like that we take for granted and automaticly think that everyone should know . So i told him don't worry . AS my father used to tell me . " If all else fails read the instructions".
So next week he will be taught how to check tyre pressure , change a flat , check his oil etc .

[fabz]

[Sabbath']

Haha

I remember dreading taking my first rego sticker off, because the glue that they used on the stickers over in NZ which i watched my dad take off as a kid (no, i wasnt born there, dont worry) always required a wallpaper scraper or other such implement to remove it fully.

This reminds me of an experience i had one day with one of my customers. (copied from a post i made on another forum)

One afternoon i got a call from one of my customers saying, "major problems! can you come around now?" Sadly i was busy at the time so i had to postpone it until later on in the afternoon. I apologized and she said, "nah its ok". Anyway, i leave home early to for a punctual arrival at her place. The first item on the agenda is her internet connection, which doesn't work all the time, and keeps dropping out on her. Anyway, i go into the Windows Network and Sharing Centre and check her settings, and power cycle the modem. Then i check the ethernet connection going from her laptop to her ADSL modem. The cable has a HUGE rip in it, and you can see that some of the wires are badly severed, rendering this cable unusable. I show the cable to her and say, "This cable is severely damaged, with this huge rip in it it is most likely the cause of the problems you're experiencing."

She looks at it and says, "ooh i knew that was there, but that wouldn't have anything to do with it, right?" I point out to her that the wires in the cable are physically severed, and therefore that is causing the communications errors she was most likely having. She then handed me another Cat5 cable that she had as a spare. I plugged it in, although it was still having problems. I asked her if she minded if i reboot the computer in an attempt to resolve the problem. She exits some stuff she had open. She goes off and does something else and the computer restarts, and goes to the Windows logon screen. I ask her for her password and she just went off at me, going, "i can't give you that! you're going to get into my system and do all kinds of stuff!"

I then sit her down and explain to her that i need to get into the system to finish the job i was doing, which was repairing her internet connection, and that since her IP address is dynamically allocated, and changes regularly, and that since i don't KNOW, or have any way of FINDING OUT said IP address, that there is no way i can do anything like she is saying. She enters the password and logs into Windows.

I launch IE, and the internet now seems to be working. (WOW! Amazing! Not. ) I then ask, "ok, what else is there that you want me to look at?" She then proceeds to tell me that there was "some other stuff she was going to get me to show her", but that she has somehow "forgotten" it. (normally when people call me over to do a job for them they make a note of everything that they need done) She paid me and told me to have a nice day.

I have to say though, maybe i'm just having "Bad Customer Blues" or whatever, but IMHO, there are just some people that should not be allowed near computer equipment. Especially if they are unable to use and maintain it in a proper manner. Like, this lady has a desk on her front balcony that she calls her "office", where she has the brand new Dell Inspiron laptop, and her new printer, and everything else. This is near a main road, and near the beach, and completely unsecured. This computer is protected from the sun, but thats about it. The computer is physically unsecured so anyone can just go and take it quickly, and since its on the balcony you can easily see it from the road. Also, she lets her dogs on the balcony (which is normally fine, since most people don't have expensive computer equipment on their balconies), and these dogs have a habit of chewing wiring, which explains the damage to the ethernet cable. On top of that, since this is near the beach, the computer is completely exposed to the salty air, which can cause metal to rust at an accellerated rate, compared to what it would indoors, protected from the elements.

I have a rectangle torn in my window tint from rego stickers. That glue can be evil.

[Not_An_Abba_Fan]

[hingo1983]

See , If you hada stuck it on the OUTSIDE of your window this wouldn't of happened ha ha ha

[Torquative]

hey guys we shouldnt really laugh

When I did the OHS training course we were reviewing our companies procedures and pissed ourselves laughing at one in particular about the trucks.

The procedure clearly stated how to unlock the door, to ensure the truck wasnt in gear (ie was in neutral), to ensure the foot was on the brake, key in, turn 3 clicks till she fires and release blah blah blah, right down to checking the seatbelt is locked into the buckle.

Sounded simple enough to us, but no, there has to be a set of insutructions so if a driver starts it in gear or it rolls forward and causes damage or injury legally the company is covered (to an extent) because the instructions were clearly written

Simple stuff really but stupid world we live in.

My ex asked me how reflector posts knew when to "turn on". I told her they put millions of tiny sensors in the road hooked up to the posts to tell them when to turn on.

[fnlow1]

Reminds me of a chick I knew once... I asked her to check to see if my brake lights were working ok.....so she walks to the front of the car. LOL

[NORTI]

Headlight fluid reminds me of this call.............

I remember the first time i had to change a tyre. I was about 10 and it took me like $45 minutes. Oh well i supose you have to start sumwhere.

[albert5268]

it took me like $45 minutes.

Time is money!

[Not_An_Abba_Fan]

What sort of slave driving parents did you have that made you change a tyre at 10?

[AttaBoy]

Lol... this thread is ENTERTAINING me!!!!!

[Astranomical]

Maybe he wanted to do it? I remember when i was about 7 Dad let me change a tyre on the WB and i thought it was great fun!

But then again, i'm one of those people that can't figure out why some women seem to have no idea how to change a tyre, apparently. I can do it in my sleep.

[BeastVS]

Nah my folks didnt make me do it. I asked dad if i could give it a go by myself. So he just stood back and watched for 45 mins.

When I was young, I worked as a roustabout and one of the things you had to do was to mark a sheep with green crayon on its face if any dark wool came away when it was being shorn. This let the guy that was drafting know to separate it from the pure wools. Most of the time you can't see the dark wool on the sheep after it is shorn, only while you are shearing it. One of the shearers took the piss out of me for weeks because he called for a sheep to be marked as a joke because most of it was brown. Me being the young enthusiastic but naive kid I was, I ran over and marked. I think the drafter could have worked out it was brown wool...

Good one about the ex (while we were still going out).. Was driving along and some fully sick tosser in a VL Turbo decided to do a flyby past me at about 30km/h over the limit. I was in the right lane and the ex was sitting there with the window rolled down.

As he passed, his fully dosed it and there a loud "WAAA PSSSSHHHHHHHHTTTTTT". She immediately jumped to attention and exclaimed "WHAT THE F*** WAS THAT?"..

I said "Just a blow off valve".. Her immediate shocked response "OMG Did your valve just blow off??". I had to explain to her that it wasn't something that I needed to fix on my car.
