Missed opportunity to chase around work colleagues with said find

Its interesting what you find in customers cars, some people have no shame with how they present their cars to workshops.

They didn't even touch said dildo - they just saw it, refused to touch it and then charged $65 for their findings

I would have grabbed it, put it in the cup holders, and then very professionally shown customer saying I found it jammed up under the seat rails, preventing the seat mechanism from working.

Well after chasing work colleagues around the workshop with it and taking photos of it for Instagram.

That’s the diagnostic fee, they allegedly didn’t touch the causative element.

Dublin Automotive Services, Kilbarrack Rd Dublin BTW.

One of the potential alternative deployments of a Chiko Handy Holder, no?

As much as I want this to be true - note the mileage.

Us drivers of bigger cars get all sorts of inadequacy innuendo sent our way, but yeah, small car drivers...

I would have done the same. I mean, if someone left such a thing in a vehicle, then expected someone else to remove it because of their own stupidity, then I think charging for such a thing would be justifiable. Nuisance charge is what its called.

Yeah, I'm no fun at all, but how disgusting.

Its a bit gross, I wouldn't expect any of my crew to touch that stuff, I'm up for having a laugh with it but I wouldn't make or expect anyone else touch it. Justified on the charge I reckon and handing the car back, I reckon customer would be mortified

Before cars go into workshop, its awfully nice if we're not digging through your car full of personal artifacts to fix things or find stuff, particularly boot is a good one.

I've seen some weird and wonderful stuff in customers cars, probably most notable thing was a rifle - which I imagine is a big no-no for people with firearms licences.

We had an incident with female underwear, that one of the guys ended up putting on his head in the middle of the workshop

They called a meeting and management cracked the shits over it big time because customers could see into the workshop and we've got one of the lads with customers underwear over his face.

By the end of it, got to the point where we couldn't even have Zoo magazines in our lunch room (who remembers those?).

The guy doing the work is probably on $30/hour, the rest is covering overheads, rent is a killer on workshops - $160/hour is pretty fair I reckon, with commercial leases you're also responsible for all the landlords outgoings too like rates and all sorts of stuff.

In public is worse. I remember one early Sunday morning we were on a walk around $ydney's Rocks area and spotting an illuminated red LED one standing tall on top of a full bin on George St.
The faces on some of those ship departing tourists was priceless, seeing this red glow from the bin with it circling in motion.
I guess someone woke up missing their old friend that morning.

Feel sorry for what some of these poor bin men must see in inner cities let alone the Cross.

I find it a little precious that someone is that offended by it that they'd refuse to do the job.
With some of the things we have to deal with I'd be happy to find a simple donger.
The difference is the things we come across were by no means put there by accident.

[Citroënbender]

Like the stealth crappers?

[Citroënbender]

€65 plus 13,5% VAT.

Although your $160 sounds generous to the workshop.

[b0son]

'what's the problem?'
'my car has a dong'
'don't you mean a ding?'
'umm, no....'

[lra]

The independant workshop I use is run by an old bloke, and he has a sign that states they have the right to refuse work on a dirty car, ie, an engine caked in old oil and dirt, or an interior that is a Maccas rubbish bin.
Seems reasonable to me.

There is a wonderful invention called gloves...just do it and move on

Years ago i was talking to a handyman in an office tower. He was really pleased to tell me about a blocked bog in the mens crapper of a stockbrokers. He said he couldnt plunge it free so, and he told me in great detail so it was quite a suspensful story. He rolled up his sleeve and raw dogged his arm and felt the obstuction. Pulled it out and held it up like a championship trophy. Yep, an 18 inch double ender. I understand stockbroking can be a stressful job. Never met a bloke who uses one as stress releif

Ever see 'wolf of wall street ''??

Reckon it's a hoax/ gag. Many because of the mileage. Just my two cents

Had a panel shop many moons ago and these blokes from up the gulf that we knew dropped their 4WD off for some work.
The smell was horrendous.
Turns out they'd boiled it on the way down and had no water to refill the radiator.

So what did they do?
They all p1ssed in the radiator to fill it up.
