A guy I know used to park his POS Ford Ranger in the shop everynight. So he's driving it in one night, goes to do a burnout into the bay, blows a brake line, straight into the back wall.
I put a 4oz wheel weight on a tech-buddies wheel once.
Everyday after work he would ask me to balance his tires, me being sneeky would remove the weight, balance them and re-apply the weight. Took him a good month to figure I was messing with him.

did this with my friend who owned an audio shop next to our lift truck shop.
every few days we would put about 1-3 oz in the same spot on his one front wheel. eventualy we got to 12 oz or so before we told him
he said the vibration was so bad the whole dash was shaking at anything above 40.
I reached into a car once to start it to check to see if belts were gonna squeak...... no clutch safety switch.... BAM. smoked a toolbox w/ my 82 Supra.
lawlz.
Especially after it hit and the top chest fell into the engine bay. :icon_bigg

when i first started at the dealer 2 yrs ago i was doing an oil change and a P/S flush.I drained the oil lowered the car and sucked the power steering fluid.Long story short i started the car up with no oil in it while i was toping off power steering fluid.started knocking i looked on my bench and still had 5 qts of oil lol.hurryied up shut the engine off topped it off started up slight knock but it went away...I got REALLY lucky.the person came back 4k miles later for his next oil change.I remembered the car cause the rocker panel was smashed to shit.the motor sounded great :icon_bigg

Exact reason I will never pay another person to change fluid in the Supra. Unless, I suppose, it's a system flush using special equipment I dont have.
^^^yes you are right, but then again ive done hundrends of oil changes after that without forgetting to put oil back in.I know somebody that has forgotten to screw the oil filter back in twice while ive been working with him.Rookie mistake?you bet your ass, i was 17.Your bound to fuck something up working on cars, its unavoidible.The only thing you can do is learn from your mistakes.
I once saw a brand new car fall off a 1 post hoist onto the roof of another brand new car

This one guy at work had a really hard time removing a drum from a durango when he decided it would be a bright idea to start the car, put it in gear and give it hell!lol, i've never felt so unsafe in my life, that 12" drum flew all around the shop.
also we had this one car with a bad fuel pump.We didnt feel liek pushing the car in so i climbed onto the engine bay and sprayed throttle body cleaner in it and my coworker drove the car in.The look my boss gave us as we limped into the shop was priceless.

One guy where I worked backed a brand new Honda CR-V out of his bay with the passenger door open. Damage was so bad we had to buy the owner a new one.:biglaugh:
An oil changer forgot to put all 4 legs under an accord and started lifting the car while not looking talking on his cell phone. The front bumper smashing into the floor woke him from his daze.
