Fat ass in the car shop complains about an easy task, Then gets fired for severely damaging a customers truck. A bit of a back story. I'm in my late 20's, 6 foot 2, and 178. I work as a mechanic for a chain service shop, and have been in the auto industry for 7 years. One of my coworkers is a fat ass that likes LOVES to complain and has a reoccurring foul odor emanating from him. He was doing a job that required 4 tires to be replaced on a bigger truck. Now for those of you that aren't really car knowledgeable, Truck tires are quite cumbersome. They aren't heavy, but the size of them makes it a bit awkward to carry. He pulls the 4 tires from storage and brings them over to the tire mounting machine. At that point, the bitching commences. It's easy to change a tire with the mounting machine. You just have to keep aware that screwing up can damage the machine, or the tire. He starts flipping out over the fact that the tire won't come off. And he starts to make a big deal out of nothing. After listening to the whimpering from the other end of the shop (where I am rebuilding a transmission), I decided against my better judgement and see what I can do to help. The customer was already pissed that his truck was taking so long, so the service manager puts me with lardass to finish the job faster. Lard keeps complaining that the tire wont come off and I discovered that the tire's bead wasn't broken off its seat. So I tell him and he gives me lip, and I fire back about his smelly ass and his lack of adequate work ethic. So he get's pissed off, waddles away, and hits the customers truck while it was on the lift. Then the worst of it occurs. The locks on the lift were not engaged, and one side of the lift starts to come down. a few moments later, the truck FALLS OFF the lift, dealing over $10,000 in damage to the brakes, suspension, body, and the transfer case. The big boss at that point steps out of his office and was red in the face from anger. I explain everything that had happened, to which the big boss pulls me into his office so we can review the cameras to corroborate my observation. That day, My boss cut a $18,000 check to the customer for a new truck, Lard got fired, and me, my boss, my boss's boss, and the other technicians in the shop spend the rest of the day breaking down this now ruined truck while laughing about lard.
