my grievance is people who hear noises in their car as a mechanic im obligated to ride with them to verify the "NOISE"as we are walking out to their car they ask do you want to drive (hmmm, its your noise you drive) upon sitting in the car i'll put my seat belt on (and they will look at me like i reminded them they didnt say grace before a meal) then put their seatbelt on tipping their head to the right 25 to 45 degrees (this apparently is the proper angle to hear the noise)they turn down the radio obviously on to muffle the noise
shift into reverse and with their head still tilted, back up, mind you they cant either turn or see into the mirror very well after driving the appropriate time anywhere from 8 to 15 minutes they say its not doing it now, we return to the shop the drivers head returns to the upright position i'll console myself thinking if this has been an actual emergency... there are other variations the car has to be turning going over a bump on a dry day first thing in the morning and it only happened once while someone else was driving yada yada yada sometimes the car is dropped off and the wrong noise is fixed, even better because its still doing it, doing what, the noise i didnt hear in the first place
