Friend left his Golf Gti at Kwik-Fit today. About an hour later one of the
monkeylads phoned him at work to say that the locking wheel nuts were fitted
so tightly that they (the monkey lads) were afraid that they might shear the
removal tool and should they continue with the work. Meaning 'if you tell us
to do the work and we shear the tool then its not our fault'. Instead of
walking 20 yards along the office and asking me what I thought, he told them
to carry on. 10 minutes later he got another call to say that the tool had
sheared - what a surprise. What's the betting that I was correct when I told
him that the monkeys had probably already sheared the tool _before_ they
called him the first time?

BTW, this is the same place that put a new tyre on my pos coupe a few months
ago and fitted adhesive balance weights without cleaning the road dust off
the rim first.
