Back on topic...

 

 

2003 Celica, manual transmission. Lowered with a body kit. 

 

 

My writer hands me the car. Customer wants an oil change performed and a quote for a new clutch. 

 

I do the work. Do my full inspection. Build a quote for all the vehicle's needs, parts and labor. 

When finished with the car I remove it from my stall and park it outside next to our building. 

 

 

 

Customer arrives; pays for today's service. Upon leaving, she presses the button on her remote to start the vehicle as she starts walking toward her vehicle's location. 

 

 

 

 

 

Um...

Holy shit. Why does every meme have some grammar error. If I'm typing a post, who cares. But making an image intended to be displayed and not looking twice before posting spins my head. I'm sure you didn't make this, but this is more of a general observation. How can this be so prevalent.

 

 

If you mean the word while,,,,,,, the song that , that meme is based off of does not enunciate the "A"  so in fact it is after `while ,, not awhile.

 

Or did you mean something else??

I got told about this incident about a half an hour later. I had zero clue. Everything I'm telling you now I pieced together second hand. 

 

 

The wall I parked next to is our service drive. The Express lanes are directly on the other side of the wall I parked against. 

 

 

 

 

With a huge bang, the building shook. Express writer walked to the man-door to see what had happened. Door wouldn't open. Then another bang happened. And another. 

 

 

Lube techs all ran out the front doors to see what was going on. The Celica was pushed against the door and lurching repeatedly. 

 

Our lube techs are stupid. 5 of them ran out to push the car away from the building. By the time the writer got out there they were trying to move a locked car that was in gear with the e-brake set. 

"If you guys WERE able to move that car, what happens when she hits the button again? Everyone dispersed. No one knew who was doing this still. 

 

 

Customer finally saw her car...still clicking the button on her remote. I'm guessing the remote informs her when the car finally starts, which it was not doing. 

 

 

Her car was in a parking space that has about a 3 1/2" tall rubber bumper at the end of the parking space.

There is about a 3 foot gap between the rubber bumper and the wall. 

Her car jumped the bumper, slammed the wall, and pinned the door closed.

Customer ran back inside to my writer. Blaming us for this. It's all our fault. Etc. 

 

 

This has never happened to her since having remote start on her vehicle. 

Claims it's easy to avoid. She leaves her car in neutral with the e-brake set.

 

 

My writer...we don't do that. Anyone driving a stick does not do that. Manual vehicles should ALL be parked with the car in gear and brake set.

Her...But you can't do that on a vehicle with remote start.

Writer...Who installs a remote start on a manual vehicle?

Her...I do. I wanted to warm the car up.

My writer...Your car is warm. We just had it running in the shop.

Her...You should make it a better practice to avoid things like this.

My writer...You should have said something.

Her...But I always start my car before I get in it because I know I left it in neutral.

My writer...But you didn't drive your car last. My tech, who also didn't know about your remote start, drove it last.

Her. Well, it's your fault. I'm calling my insurance comapany.

My writer...Make sure to ask them who's fault this really is.

 

 

 

 

 

Guess I won't be getting that clutch job anytime soon.

Anyways...that happened around 1PM. 

 

 

One of my co-workers " Why did you leave that car in gear?"

"What car?" "The car you were working on. Why did you leave it in gear?"

"WTF are you talking about?" Cool story told. 

 

 

I've been laughing since then. SMH. Wow. Some people.

Song or phrase? I've heard the phase many a time, but never where awhile was denied the A. It even fucks up the syllable count making it less poetic/song like. I call bullshit.

Well, I saw my baby walkin'
With another man today
Well, I saw my baby walkin'
With another man today
When I asked her what's the matter
This is what I heard her say

See you later alligator
After 'while crocodile
See you later alligator
After 'while crocodile
Can't you see you're in my way now
Don't you know you cramp my style

When I thought of what she told me
Nearly made me lose my head
When I thought of what she told me
Nearly made me lose my head
But the next time that I saw her
Reminded her of what she said

See you later alligator
After 'while crocodile
See you later alligator
After 'while crocodile
Can't you see you're in my way now
Don't you know you cramp my style

[instrumental Interlude]

She said, I'm sorry pretty baby
You know my love is just for you
She said, I'm sorry pretty baby
You know my love is just for you
Won't you say that you'll forgive me
And say your love for me is true

I said wait a minute 'gator
I know you meant it just for play
I said wait a minute 'gator
I know you meant it just for play
Don't you know you really hurt me
And this is what I have to say

See you later alligator
After 'while crocodile
See you later alligator
So long, that's all, goodbye........ lyrics by Bobby Charles 1955 and made famous by Bill Haley and the comets 1956
