One time I replaced a heater core in a 91' S10. Finished it up and had about 10 screws/bolts I forgot to put back in. It worked and never fell out.

With that rats nest of wiring, that may be exactly what happens.

It's not really an irrational hate kind of thing. More of a dumbass, convoluted, more complicated than it needs to be thing. The thing that makes Hamas' car cockamamie is that it takes 18 ****ing hands and an hour just to strap the battery to the box. It has nothing to do with the fact that it irritates him. |

When 14 cars turn left without using a turn signal meaning YOU could have turned left if even one of the selfish assholes had signaled...

My normal trick when working on a car is to have everything going great and then right before I'm done, I drop a nut/bolt/tool into the rat's nest around the engine, usually never to be seen again.
I also can't seem to work on a computer without cutting my hand. I refer to that as my blood sacrifice to the computer demons. Electrical work in the house sucks too. It's really hard to believe that wire nuts were the best we could come up with to connect wires together. |

About a month ago a dog wandered into my yard at night. It was cold and rainy, and he was just standing there staring at my porch. So I go outside and bring him up on my porch and look for a tag. I couldn't bring him in because my dog is an asshole but I called the police with the tag number. They located the owners from the tag number. It took a long while for the owners to find our house, but they eventually pulled up and I returned their dog to them. Turns out it had been missing for a few days. That's it. End of story. |

They just wander up to me. Happens a lot. You can tell from the body language that they're just hungry and freaking out because they're lost.

I'm on a Facebook page for lost/found pets in our county and there have been a rash of pets "rescued" from peoples' property and then ending up in the pound or local shelter. It seems to be primarily asshole neighbors doing it.

Heh. Most of the ones that come around my place just don't give a ****. About anything. So I take them back, because typically the owners are melting down.

Yeah. I don't get the "finder's fee" crap. Just get the dog back where it belongs.

That is a lovely story with a happy ending. I'd have been grateful to you.
It is different than picking the dog up and hauling it 7 miles. I've discovered something else happening in our area....on craigslist or fb swaps....People are "rescuing" dogs and then listing them as needing a home for a "rehoming fee" of $25-50....and was shown a couple of examples today where someone said "hey, that's my dog that disappeared yesterday".
