Hey, I’m all about giving people second chances, but sometimes, it’s so crystal clear who someone is that the best course of action is to call it a day and leave them in your rearview mirror.

Sure, that can be easier said than done, but when it comes to business, you gotta be ruthless sometimes!

Check out what this guy had to say about a mechanic who he vowed to never work with again.

Get off your property? That’s a splendid idea.

“Several years ago I worked as a tool guy. For those who don’t know, mechanics buy ALL their OWN tools, shops provide very little.

They’re also incredibly busy people so I’d drive shop to shop with a big truck full of tools to sell, fix, order, tools and help find solutions to things they were coming across. Plenty of mechanics spend as much on tools as students spend on college.

This was a difficult job as my customers were a very rough bunch, you had to have thick skin to do this job and those that didn’t wouldn’t last long at all.

Sounds like a good gig.

I was running one of the most established routes in the area to the point where mechanics from other territories would travel to me due to my knowledge, reliability, and inventory.

I was well known in the local automotive community, and I pampered my customers. The issue with pampering your customers is that some of them grow used to it and don’t realize how good they have it.

Most everyone was a delinquent at some point in their life but they would often mature enough to be tolerable as they get older.

Not all of them though…

Uh oh…

One guy I saw had an unbelievable temper – he’d regularly talk down to me, demand everything from me, zero tolerance, and would even complain about the free candy I’d have on the truck for everyone.

One day I showed up and he asked, “Hey do you remember that time I told you my jump pack was acting up?”

“I don’t, sorry. What’s wrong with it?”

He did NOT like the fact I didn’t remember a conversation from 4 months ago.

He flipped. He started complaining and going on a tirade. I don’t remember what he said but only half was in English so you KNOW he was mad.

What a jerk!

He ended up throwing a Ratchet (Part# SHLF80A) at me and yelled, “JUST FIX MY STUFF AND  THEN GET OFF MY PROPERTY”.

Finally, an out.

I picked up his ratchet and rebuilt it, made a repair order for his jump pack, left everything nice and neat on his unbelievably messy toolbox, and never stepped foot on his property again.

Done and done!

My boss asked me why and I told him, he never argued with me about it. I worked 12-14 hour days, I wasn’t going to put up with that and he agreed with me.

From then on he had to go way out of his way to get everything he needed and it was likely a lot, he even moved his shop to a different area where a less reliable tool guy was.

I heard a rumor that he wanted to apologize to me so I’d come back but he never had the stones to do it.”

This guy had it coming!

And all he had to do was be respectful and not act like a total jerk.

What a concept, right…?

This mechanic definitely realized that he blew it…
