It only works in English, Read it this way:

30 Cows in a field and twenty ate Chickens, how many didn't?

Contrary to popular belief, nobody owes you anything.

I was going to say "2", but if I wrote it in binary, my answer would have been correct too, if you read it as an decimal number. Smile | :)

Chickens on the other hand are vicious evil beasts who won't hesitate to eat another chicken. They would probably try eating a cow if they thought they could avoid being stepped on.

In some countries, they used to add bone meal (cow, chicken, you name it) to cow feed. This was the major cause of Mad Cow disease.

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

A mechanic walks into a crowbar...

No, that is not the beginning of a joke, it's merely a strong urge on my part. Mad | :mad:

I just had my car at the mechanics to change the tyres (which was definitely needed). When they bring my car back out, I notice straight away that the handle on the drivers door is completely damaged (which it most certainly wasn't when I left the car there).

What do the sunshines say? "No, we didn't do that, you must have hit something on the way here..."

Yeah, like I wouldn't have noticed that, just like I didn't noticed the damage before despite having entered and exited the car twice before today (last time when I left the car with them).

The most elephanting part of it all is that now it's word against word and nothing I say can or will pursuade them to take any responsibility. I even have my wife as witness. I drove her to work this morning, and she can testify that the damage was not there before.

My guess is that the mechanic did the damage, knows about it very well, but is afraid to admit it to his boss... Dead | X|

So now I'm on my way to Sears to buy a crowbar (that IS an old joke[^])

And people wonder why mechanics have such a bad reputation... D'Oh! | :doh:

RANT OVER!!!

Most irritating part is that I feel so helpless. It IS their fault, I know, but I haven't got any hard proof, so basically I'm elephanted! Sigh | :sigh:

Yeah, that is indeed the worst part about it :/
Such moments take me spread the word of their failure, change the mechanic and hope they GDIAF ASAP.

That makes me kinda feel better a little.

If they don't admit the fault you can try to use your insurance (not ideal I know). In any case I would never ever go back.

next visit at the garage take pictures of the car or let them sign a paper telling the car was OK when brought in.

Yeah. I even got the contact info to HIS boss, and I'm going to contact him as soon as he's from vacation. Not very hopeful, though.

V. wrote:

Probably not even applicable. There's a deductible amount on my insurance that is probably larger than what it costs to fix it... Sigh | :sigh:

V. wrote:

Thatg's the most irritating part. I've been a customer there for 8 years and ALWAYS been extremely satisfied. Good service and nice staff. On a few occasions, I've had to use other mechanics, and they have been worse to say the least... Sigh | :sigh:

I thought about that. It really ought not be necessary. Is that really what the world has come to? Confused | :confused:

Put it all in a letter, say you've been a customer for a long time. If it isn't going to cost much to fix [from what you say about insurance] they'd be mad not to fix it to retain your custom.
