I was once at a small town Virginia auction where one of the things dropped off was described as a "Refrigerator that runs, but it don't cool." The auctioneer refused to sell that one and insisted that whoever brought it needed to leave with it.

OCD college Prof bought a new Renault 16. FM stereo was a new option and reception was fair to middlin at best. He always had it listed as a complaint on the repair order along with other minor items. He always made an appointment for the following week before he left the building.

I was asked to fill in for injured road tester/customer delivery person. This brought me in contact with all types of car owners. The incident that stands out was a customer that claimed something was taken from his car while in the shop. I searched the interior, under seats and glove box. Nothing, so I went to the trunk, opened it and it appeared to be empty. The customer's wife reached in and lifted the trunk mat. About 6 porn magazines were under the mat. Customer pushed the mat down, slammed the trunk lid and left immediately.

That letter, the first one, is incredible. He gives you details of a ding on the car!  Clearly not as acutely mentally ill as the second one, but something's not right nonetheless.

Well, he is an engineer

That was my coworker's response. He was reading it and went "Oh, an engineer. That explains it."

I met a woman at a party a few years ago and during the initial pleasantries she asked me what I did for a living.

When I told her I was a millwright she seemed genuinely interested and asked what kind of work I'm involved in. After just struggling for a few weeks to make a bunch of brand new equipment actually run, I explained to her that I fix the mistakes engineers make. So what do you do, I asked? 

I'm an engineer.

I didn't care that I wasn't gettin any. Millwrights hate engineers
