I hopped into a customer's Camaro one time and when I slid the seat back it ruptured a can of Fix-a-Flat which was under the seat and that crap sprayed all over my legs, the carpet, and even the instrument cluster. One of our lot porters had a big job on his hands cleaning it up.
Surprises are always nice. I always appreciated it when customer's left a snack for us. Half of a Big Mac under the seat, fries scattered all over the floorboards, etc. When they were kind enough to do that, I usually didn't get started on the dash work until I finished the snacks they left me.

I prefer my heatmaps to be an obvious progression, like a spectrum. Going from pale blue to dark blue and the next step is beige? Feh.

My left hip was bugging me while spinning up hills today. Felt like a nerve thing. Naturally, I HTFU and persevered.

When I was a yute, worked at an Elby's Big Boy restaurant as a bus boy/ dishwasher one summer. I was dismayed one day to see one of my colleagues, who was scraping the plates and loading the dishwasher, pick up a half-eaten Big Boy from the bus pan I'd just brought in, and take a big bite out of it. At least he bit from the un-bitten side. But still - Eeewww....

So we had about a whopping two inches of snow at 9 am, by 10 am it started to rain and the snow started to disappear. I went driving at 2 and these two neighbors were using brooms to sweep snow out of their drive way. We’re talking like half and inch that is melting before your eyes. 
People are strange.
