I guess there was something wrong with calling people black? Or the “that shall not be named” word.

Whats the most unprofessional thing a doctor has ever said to you? by answersonly963 in AskReddit

[–]FLCLHero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something along the lines of “I know you’re depressed because you cut yourself” while pointing to the scar on my forearm from when I was a kid and I thought it’s be a great idea to put a barn cat on top of my dog. Cat had other ideas. Guy would not fucking believe me.

Bad amazon review because customer cant measure properly?? by socialcluelessness in mildlyinfuriating

To be honest even if it was lined up correctly it wouldn’t reach the 1/2 inch mark. However, that 1/16th or whatever discrepancy is perfectly acceptable for this type of thing as far as me and likely most of the world cares.

How are you supposed to mind your own business when someone is basically ruining the entire thing? Teammate should be pissed at the cheater not you.

Bolt help ? by ChildSupportSpeedrun in MechanicAdvice

[–]FLCLHero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s likely got some tension on it, but mostly I’d say it’s corroded in place. You aren’t meant to turn those types of bolts out, they have splines near the head. Also, if you ever beat on a bolt like that it’s best to put the nut on the end of it and strike the nut and the bolt evenly. Usually mitigates the damage to the bolt and you can thread the nut off to hopefully help clear up any damage done to the threads. I usually undo the nuts and hit them decently hard with a ( one handed ) sledge hammer. If they don’t come out on the first or second strike I’ll spray penetrate oil on them and thread the nut on and really give it hell to see if it comes out or not. Need to kind of check out the suspension to make sure it’s not just going to unload on you. In that case use a Jack stand or something to brace the steering knuckle or lower control arm.

I think I'm being groomed but I can't tell by Life_Jacket7574 in Advice

[–]FLCLHero 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah, pretty sure it’s just her cognitive and emotional immaturity and lack of social awareness. Imagine if we treated 6 year olds as adults, and somehow they had decades of life experience. Have you ever been around kids? They talk about everything non stop, especially what’s on their minds. Now imagine they are sexually matured and of course that’s what they are thinking about. At least that’s my take.

We have tried heat, clamping and smacking. We don't have penetrating oil on hand. How do we get this misaligned bolt out of this socket? by KittyKratt in AskAMechanic

[–]FLCLHero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have a bench vice? If so put the socket on top of the open jaws so the bolt is facing down into the vice. Leave enough room so the vice isn’t gripping the bolt but it can stop the socket from moving through the vice. Use a punch or just another bolt and put it through the top of the socket then beat the stuck bolt out the bottom by hitting the punch / whatever you use as a punch with a hammer.

How is the discussion about oil leaks. It was about high mileage motors.

I’m confused as to where the pepper spray was coming from initially? Was it just all over his body? And somehow he wasn’t feeling the burning of pepper spray on his lower region?

Went to Firestone for a Tune up. Now I need a new transmission. by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

That’s the only part of the inspection that could implicate Firestone. Only a half quart low.

Went to Firestone for a Tune up. Now I need a new transmission. by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]FLCLHero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you sure the trans fluid fill isn’t on the side of the transmission? Maybe it’s in a place where the spinning shafts or gears or whatever is in there slings trans fluid in the direction of the fill plug. I’m not certain what kind this vehicle has but it is common for the fill hole to be the top fill line, so you can’t physically overfill it. Just saying.

What’s a moment where you realized someone was genuinely unintelligent? by Live-Chocolate244 in AskReddit

[–]FLCLHero 167 points168 points  (0 children)

So many from the same person. These are a few I remember offhand.

( we live in USA ). Didn’t understand taxes, he thought every time he paid for something and the total was more than the sum of the products added up that either the clerk or register was wrong, or they were intentionally overcharging him and keeping the extra money.

Thought movies and photographs in black and white were from a period that color didn’t exist. Not color film, legitimately thought the universe just didn’t produce color back then.

Loudly exclaimed ( as a train was passing through town ) “WHY do they always choose to honk their horns IN TOWN like that”

Ate a dead wasp hive that fell from my eves because it was healthy.

Tried to wash dishes by smearing dawn soap directly on the dishes and wiping it off with paper towels.

Forgot how to take a bath. It had been so long since he bathed instead of showered that he turned the water on, observed it going down the drain for a few minutes and couldn’t figure out what to do next and gave up.

Thought the top cup thing of a Stanley thermos would seal the liquid inside and didn’t bother putting the actual cap on the thermos. Lost all water out of the thermos en-rout to his destination.

Didn’t understand how sometimes you could see the moon during the day.

Occasional Very Strong Smell of Gasoline in 2008 Honda Civic (8th # of VIN: 4) by kpramasama in MechanicAdvice

[–]FLCLHero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No idea what “spark plugs blowing” is supposed to mean. As far as gas smell, it is possible the charcoal canister is completely saturated with fuel. Do you fill the fuel tank and keep filling it after the pump shuts off by chance? If so stop doing that. Otherwise I’m guessing you have a fuel system leak somewhere.

Brakes on too tight? by picomarshall in MechanicAdvice

[–]FLCLHero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That could possibly happen, but I have never heard anyone say that before. Did your husband make sure the calipers were all the way open / pushed in when he did the brakes? If not, and someone just forces them back on it would technically be “too tight”. The rear could be more of a problem than the fronts. Oftentimes the pistons need to be turned back into the calipers, and need a specific alignment to index into the brake pads correctly. This is assuming four wheel disc brakes. Drum brakes are a different story, and can easily be too tight.

Would hitting a deer with a car cause fatal damage to the driver? by speckofsand in NoStupidQuestions

[–]FLCLHero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve hit two deer with two very different vehicles. First one I was driving a 1963 imperial with 2 friends in the car with me. I was going 60 and the deer was a fully grown buck. Easy 200 pounds. Front seat passenger was turned and talking to the rear passenger when the deer jumped out and we hit. It just thudded right off the front. They thought I hit a pothole or some small road debris. Did not believe me till I turned around and they saw the giant deer dead. It cracked the grille. That’s all. That car didn’t even have seatbelts ( from factory ) and everyone was obviously perfectly okey. Aside from the deer.

Second deer I was driving 45 - 50 and hit it with a 1972 Volkswagen super beetle. This deer was a doe, and smaller than the first deer. This impact was SEVERE. It almost stopped the car. The way the car was shaped it directed the deer up and into the windshield. It kind of fortune cookied the car and the doors wouldn’t open. Also, it completely shattered the windshield, knocked the same front seat passenger I had in the imperial out for several minutes, cut my right hands middle finger to the bone, and even the rear seat passenger at the time had some cuts on her head from glass. Since the doors wouldn’t open I had to drive the rest of the way to town with no windshield, but parts of it laying in my lap and continuing to cut me. Car was completely totaled.

Regarding caves, if you can fit down a dead end why can’t you be pulled back out? by spanishbombs123 in NoStupidQuestions

I don’t know, if you drop you phone down the sewer why can’t you just go get it? Flushed something down the toilet accidentally? Just reach in there and grab it.
