Apparently the goons at Les Schwab don't know how to tighten a bolt!

well uh clearly a bolt was not needed there. Duh.

Friends don't let friends go to chain-store type tire centers. (The one possible exception is STS in NJ, which I've had consistently good luck with.)

Inconvenient is having to drive a teenager from the hood to school 20 miles away during rush hour because he missed the bus and needs to graduate.

There are many other things in this world which are inconvenient.

Having one of your MANY vehicles out of action for a single day because you have too much money to do the work yourself is not inconvenient... it's slightly irritating.

Quit your whining....

...but ya still need to get the thing fixed. That's inconvenient, whether you DIY, start a war with the shop, or just pay someone else.

Also, it could have been an on-the-road failure... very inconvenient.

Looks like they didn't wrap it with enough duct tape. I hate it when my mechanic skimps on tape.

I'd be pissed in any of the cases. Even at myself for such a stupid error. More so at a shop because I just paid money and lost time having to deal with it.

Idk I think in this case, they should have used some wire. Tape might not have been enough..I think this was on a truck after all.

Well, I'll concede to wire coat hangers with a touch of duct tape.

I am picking apart the use of the word "inconvenient". It was not injurious or a great injustice to him, therefore it was irritating, but not inconvenient.

Plus the whining...

I cried because I had no shoes. Then I met a man who had no tact.
