Well, today, at work, the first truck I pulled in was an 07 F-150. It need the right rear tire patched because of a nail. The first thing I noticed was that the tires were Perelli's, so I thougt:
1. This guy wears out tires fast
2. This guy is an idiot since the truck only had 20K on it.

I pull the valve, let out the air, break the the beads and start to take the tire off the rim. I pulled the out side bead off the rim, no problem. I got to pull the inside bead off the rim, and we had a problem. About half way through the process I hear a loud pop and see something hit the floor. Turns out this truck was equipped with band sensors. For those that don't know what a band sensor is, it is a tire pressure monitor that instead of using the valve stem as a mount, using a metal band to hold it to the rim. Here's the odd part. Instead of being held in place with a metal band, this thing is head in place with 3' zip ties and duct tape! Remember I said this truck had some after market tires, well the shop that put them on had broken his sensor and replaced it this way. I called the owner of the truck. Thinking he would be furious, he calmly said ok, and hung up the phone. They guy new, and didn't even care. Man, the nerve of some people. I bet he knew too and didn't tell us because it is illegal to work on a vehicle with a broken TPMS.:grrrrrr:

At least the customer didn't try to blame you. I've heard of tons of horror stories that go that route.

I used to repair business machines... One day I went to an office and the lady said her calculator "suddenly stopped working". I turned it over to remove the screws and a bunch of coffee came spilling out! I looked at her... She said "The janitor must have done that!"

Then here some of these clever people decided to do a bit of electrical wiring...

We are a society that lives beyond our means

What do you mean? Just because our previous two liberal presidents thought that "everyone should own a home"? And now we are paying dearly for that?

Our current pres thinks everyone should have a new car, so we'll give you 4 grand for that 82 Ford LTD. Does he really think someone driving a "clunker" can afford, or has the credit, to buy a brand new vehicle? Next we'll see Congress pass a bill to back up the loans. What a disaster.

LOL, I stole "west-o-plex" from a local radio station. It's what they affectionately call the area WEST of Dallas, to include Fort Worth and small towns generally west of the DFW Metroplex area.

Azle and Weatherford are west of Fort worth.

dont fret my friend in the last ten years ive seen common sense dry up and blow away.we are all fighting the good fight to bring quality back into the world...............But im afraid in the end we will all be piloting a broke down vehicle being pulled down a pot hole filled road by a donkey named pepe! But on the bright side i did finally find a new(but very cheap) set of gibson crome shortys for my nose heavy hoe.
