Who here has completely lost there temper while working on their car?
I have often used my cars as a punching bag when things wont go too well, worst off case would be slamming the door on my old gemini so hard I smashed the glass, cracked the windscreen and busted the door trim and window winder linkage
So fess up everyone it's time for therapy

Your a crazy man

I get angry but not that bad!!

I don't hit my cars - it's not their fault.

I throw tools - ever seen a pair of vice-grips lodged in a tree?

I found that kicking/hitting a car will result in the car hitting back harder. Car always wins so i have given up on try to beat it.

Drove home in wife's Hyundai after heavy rain and got bogged in the table drain out front of the property , got angry and walked in to get my car to pull it out. Decided that it would be better to drive through the drain and pull her car out onto the road. Result was both cars bogged in tandem, right beside each other. Must have looked a sight to people passing by.
My car (my old centura not the datsun) got a few more dents in it that day through no fault of its own.

After 10 years of working as a tradie, I developed good collection of swear words.

I usually find myself digging into my repetoir when I skin my knuckles or make a stuff-up.

The more painful the injury / greater the stuff-up... The louder I get .

as most of you know i work at supercheap.
I helped this woman with her battery, i gave it to her to hold onto while opened the bonnet, and she turned the ####en thing upside own to look at the bottom. Acid all over my hands and her bonnet i called her a ####en idiot and nearly lost my job! upon which strike 2 was telling my area manager to suck me off! coz he said it was my fault she turned it upside down!!!
moral of the story ANGER MANAGEMENT!

Mmmmm, let me see... I once worked as a rep selling/servicing/installing automotive machinery, like re borers, crankshaft grinder and surface grinders etc. We were selling newly imported AZ(Alvise Zanrosso) machines.

This one particular VB150 boring machine had one boring bar that would shudder when boring, and as a result screw up the bore so much that you had to bore it to the next size up. Well after an inordinate amount of time trying to adjust it, and having given every one in the shop a go, I completely lost it after trying again, and threw it across the workshop floor. It skid out the door onto the side walk.

The shop went quiet, and every one was waiting for my boss to fire me. Luckily my boss was Italian, and completely understood my anger... He actually laughed his ass off.

So after standing around a while I went and picked it up, and fitted it to the machine again. Lo and behold, it didn't shudder anymore, with no extra adjustment. To this day it still works like a charm. Now explain that to me...

EDIT: TYhis is the particular machine I'm talking about, VB150
