Yeah, actually, was with Jason today, and he loves puttin his little Focus into 1st, second, then drive, he really wants a standard, and does the gearing for fun sometimes, really makes a difference sometimes in acceleration. Terrible on the tranny though, and he knows it XD. He does it only when he feels the urge to, not overdoing it.
i used to work at a marriott hotel here in town and i remember one night i gota WO in from the desk asking me to go assist a customer in calming down because he was paranoid that we installed cameras in the rooms and they were watching him.
well i went and checked it out, turns out, some one covered his ENTIRE room in sticky notes with his name on every one. so after having to call the cops to get the guy to calm down and running key code checks on the door lock. turns out it was his friends who played the pank, the guy was in ruins after it.
other strange orders ive had to deal with were commonly plugged toilet issues. one in piticular the lady caled in saying her toilet backed up, well i ran the snake and as it turns out, it appeared she flushed what loooked like an entire box of bloody tampons down the toilet, she didnt think i was a problem to flush all of that.... i had a few where people would flush towels and junk too...
and probably the strangest work order ive had was a complaint of a stinky room.... turns out the guest took a bunch of pain killers in the bath tub... a week before. ( if you can immagine how aweful of a stink that was)
also remember one time when rosy odonald stayed at the hotel a maid stole her camera... ahahah good times.
weird and scary, and some times excellent fun stuff happens in hotels.
Yeah, no joke! I used to do some under-the-table work with them (when parents were gone, hehehe), but they hired me to clean up the rooms after the people left, I got to keep the stuff they left. I have found everything from used condoms to $300 gold watches.... guess which one I threw away? haha. It can be gross, but rewarding sometimes. I have been called in to warn people about a phsyco on the loose (April Fools Joke by the manager), and we emptied the building faster than the fire drill did back in 2007! We had one guy jump the 3rd floor fire escape railing, land on his feet and gun it in a random direction, I got his watch..... he stole a towel though for some reason.....

This one is from a year ago:
I was at the counter at the Polaris dealership here, nice guys that own it, very bright, and very fun to talk with, but anyways, we get a customer comin in that wants his Polaris Ranger fixed, so since everyone was basically at lunch, and I can work on ATV's a bit, he had me go out and take a run over the damage for the guy. I walk outside and see a pile of nice Polaris Ranger being pulled by a shitty-ass crapped-up Chevy, looks like it drove through Nam during the bombing.... anyways. The guy starts up, and it putts like a broken Model-T, and the axles are creakin, he backs it up to the loading dock, so we can back the ranger off, and he jumps out and asks me what I think will need to be done.
I point at his truck and start telling him it'll need a new engine, some axle work, and some new suspension, on TOP of getting a new tranny. He turns and looks at me and says "WOW, your good at this aren't you? I thought my Ranger only needed a new tire!"
