I used to work in a transmission shop as a front wheel drive transmission puller. A friend of the boss brought his car in for a rebuild, so that made it a rush job. After getting the car in the air I find out that it has locking luggage nuts and he hasn't bothered to leave the key. I report this to my boss who screams "I DON'T GIVE A G*DDAMN HOW YOU GET THOSE WHEELS OFF, JUST MAKE IT HAPPEN NOW!" No problem, boss-man. I go back into the shop, grab my air chisel and start cutting the lugs off. This has the wonderful side effect of leaving large scars across his $3000 set of rims. I was halfway through the second side when the boss comes back into the shop and completely loses his mind. I very calmly remind him what he had told me earlier. He turns immediately back around and goes back into his office. To give the man some credit, he did come back an hour later and apologize to me for going too far.
