I can see it now. Training a Detroit auto worker: "You only have one job to do. You need to assemble this smaller tube into the larger tube. That's all you have to do to collect your union pay and benefits. Make sure the smaller tube gozinta the bigger tube."
And s/he couldn't even do that. That has got to be the easiest job on the planet.
I needed to take the spare tire off of my Silverado in order to access the underside of the bed to install a 5th wheel hitch. In order to lower the spare tire you need to assemble two pieces of the jack handle and stick it into a hole in the bumper and engage it with the spare tire raising/lowering mechanism. There are two pieces of tubing that guide the jack handle directly to where it needs to be to engage the mechanism. Unless the jack handle is guided through the tube it won't work. The tube consists of two pieces...a smaller one and a larger one. Naturally the dumbass who's supposed to put the smaller piece inside the larger piece, didn't. Now I can't remove my spare tire. Which means I can't install the hitch. Which means all the tools and other items I got out to do the job, I didn't need. Which means I have a 250 pound hitch assembly that's essentially a paperweight. Which means I now have to drive to a Chevy dealer and leave my truck for a day while it's repaired and then drive back to pick it up.
Son of a bitch.
