Well, I'm a mechanic so...

This week alone has had:

Cust (1996 C220) "My car is lacking power and not accelerating, it won't kickdown."

Us (after having spent over an hour driving the car on two seperate occasions and observing no problems at all) "Are you pushing the pedal all the way to the floor and engaging the kickdown switch?"

Cust "No"

As well as:

Cust (BMW E36) "My taillights keep going out, the bulbs burn out, or don't work or something. I keep putting bulbs in, but they don't work."

Us (after examining the rear lamps and assemblies) "These are the wrong bulbs"

Cust "Yeah... But they don't when I put them in..."

I'm sure I can come up with better, but that's just this week. And it's been a holiday week. And a slow one at that.
