Well I guess the overalls could always come off so the second option would be preferable, except the men at the garage are in need of hair transplant, liposuction and de-aging about 30 years before I'd be tempted |

I feel an expensive bill coming on |

Bet they are gathered around saying ' never seen one like that before' whilst scratching their 3 chins
Or they may have just finished drinking the tea and are thinking about starting soon!!
Just taken my motorbike in - hoping for good news !! |

Whatever the problem something will need replacing at considerable cost and then will need at least 3 blokes to install for over 3 hours....and the only problem is that you've forgotten to put petrol in the tank!

 GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
I'm so angry!!!!!!!!!!!
Not only did they 'forget' to phone me when it was done, causing me to waste an hour while waiting for a phone call... but as I was driving it home I noticed something on the windscreen.
The car failed its MOT on handbrake (which I can accept), drive shaft bolt (needs cleaning up and tightening), and wiper blades (which were fully functioning and fine when I left the car!)
When I got home I took a closer look and the wiper blades are totally destroyed!! So if it rains now I can't take the car out! It's booked it to have the things done and a retest next wednesday but I can't take a risk with non working wipers til then
I'm so pi$$d off!!

You still have time today , drive back and 'give 'em some' and get them to replace your wiper blades.

Ex has offered to do them at the weekend.... besides, I don't want to give the garage any more of my money than absolutely necessary.
I will mention it next week though....they will know of my 'displeasure', don't you worry!

Just can't rely on men these days!
More women mechanics needed, they could manage to fix more than one thing at once! and do it properly..............what have you started!
