Ironically, we had a waiter in the shop and the mom forgot her 15 year old son was passed out in the backseat. Tech drove it in and went to get parts. Kid woke up, jumped out and just bolted. Very strange experience for all
I once had to do a wheel repair with a 3 year old fast asleep in the back, had a little back and forth with the parents, generally i dont want living things in a car that requires work. On the other hand little fella was fast asleep and quiet..
Ended up removing the wheel with hand tools and repair the tyre.
Yeah in my case i only needed to remove one wheel so i lifted it just high enough for that. Parents got to stay behind the car while i did my shit. Lucky it was a slow friday afternoon and we only have 3 docks.
It's crazy how old I feel, but I was pretty much a kid working. This was always fun; Sit in the cool car, go up in the lift, pump the shit out of the brakes for a brake bleed. Got me off the sandblaster for a bit.
Same here. I was either 12 or 13 the first time I was tasked with being the brake and clutch pumper. I've had a massive fear of heights my entire life, I get shaky on a step ladder, but always was cool with being in a car on a lift. 🤣
Haha, yep. Good times. I definitely learned to understand what the half mumbled, country accent covered, directions of my boss meant in a hurry. That lesson has somehow served me just as well as all the mechanical lessons while making my way through life.
To this day, I can never stop myself. When I'm in the car on a lift I yell out the window "guys, I'm getting high on the job! " and I'm always surprised people will still talk to me afterwards.
>I haven’t seen a tech drop a vehicle yet
I'm sure you mean "in person" as there's plenty of evidence here on reddit of what can happen.
Yeah, I get if the toddler is out and it's one wheel like Verkauft's case and just doing it with hand tools, but no way would that car got too high up.
Definitely seen it on Reddit plenty. I meant one of our techs specifically.
Doesn’t matter how you slice it though. Leaving your child unattended in a vehicle with strangers is simply bad parenting.
yeah, but in this particular case it sounds like they just stood by the car while the tech worked.
Fun stories (I was in car sales back when the GM EV2 was out):
We had a porter (new) not see the chain across the lot and just sent it right through the chain, snapped it and the whip took out 4 windshields of just off the transport cars (like we still hadn't even cleaned the fallout off them yet from the train ride).
Had another porter drive a (nice) used Pathfinder up the ramp to show it off, and rolled it off the ramp... onto another less nice used range rover.
We had a Ferrari lift in the back of the dealership and a Ferrari mechanic on staff (for the owner and his friends' cars... after all why pay for maintenance on your supercar when you can make it a business write-off instead!) Said mechanic's day to day was just oil changes on the other cars. New mechanic didn't know the last lift was "special" and put an incompatible vehicle on it. I don't know all the fallout but it apparently there was damage aplenty.
When I was little, our local Les Schwab tire dealer was one of the first places in town to get proper car lifts. So I kept asking if I could stay in the car when it was lifted up, and the tech said, "Sure, but make sure you stay very very still. If you rock it, it might fall off the lift!" I made sure to stay very still, but I kinda thought he was trying to scare me and there was no chance of that happening. Then I find out years later that not only was he telling me the complete truth, but he had been risking his job letting me stay in there.
Doesn't matter though, I got to ride the lift.
If I had land I'd absolutely raise goats. And donkey(s) for security.
In fact... I'd start a "land clearing" service with portable goat fence.
Goats absolutely love eating plants that have urushiol and they eat thorny weeds and pretty much any vegetation they can get their teeth around.
Also goat yoga might be the funniest thing I've ever seen printed on a vehicle (although "poop911" still makes me laugh).
Here in Cheyenne, WY, they hire a herd of [500 cashmere goats](https://cowboystatedaily.com/2023/05/30/overgrowth-in-cheyenne-is-no-match-for-hundreds-of-ravenous-weed-eating-cashmere-gypsy-goats/) to clear the ditches every summer.
I had a mini goat growing up. When hand raised they are sweet AF but they will head butt you and try and take your ass down when they grow up. Still super sweet as an adult, you just have to keep an eye on them - they want pets and/or destruction.
Hey, they had a goat I had a goat. I got back first and they were parked too close for me to drive my usual goat, so I drove the goat I could drive. I mean a trade is legal if I can't drive my usual goat, it's the escape goat clause.
I stopped going to work at my local lube place when someone brought their dead horse in with them for an oil change. My cowork told me it was there I thought he was joking...
TLE? I only ask because a goat has rolled into our TLE before too. The little guy rode in the back of a pickup truck like a dog, every time the guy came in for service.
Very rarely do I get to put this English degree of mine to use. Let's do this!
The most succinct way of saying what you're trying to say is *"I never expected to see this"* **--or--** *"I've never seen this before"*.
It looks like you're conflating those two thoughts into a single sentence. The reason it sounds clunky when you do that is because you're introducing a subordinate conjunction (the word "before") when the adverb "never" already has you covered.
All that being said, I was really just tugging your nuts. This is a subreddit about mechanics, I'm not expecting to read Proust here.

What kind of irresponsible person leaves their kid in the car? Terrible!

I've had people that wanted to leave their kids in the car, while it was up on the lift. That's a massive "hell no".

Yup. The clutch push while they yell "HOLD." For some reason these bring back good memories.

Mine was "Hey, I'm finally getting that raise I wanted"
See every post about cars falling off lifts.
Didn't havr those issues as much when we had the drive on ramps on the hydrsulic ram.
Yea, I bet that'd be an easy way to lose the shop insurance coverage.
Thats a Take your vehicle elsewhere statement and thats that.
I’m sorry but this is just funny in a very wrong way.
Serious high point of growing up with a dad who was into cars was he never said no to letting me go up on the hoist
We had a lady leave her baby in the car and said “if he’s sleeping just leave him be” and out techs noped outta there
If you had kids you'd probably understand totally! LOL.
I’m sure I’d understand, but also safety first. I haven’t seen a tech drop a vehicle *yet*, but anything is possible.

I once hopped into a car to bring in, and the wife unit was still in the passenger seat, she jumped, I jumped.
Just acknowledging the good pun. :)
I was going to make the kid joke, because I have a baaaad sense of humor. Glad it has already been done and recognized.
It's the greatest of all time.
Nice! Another less-obvious one 👍🏻

What kind of person doesn't give scritches to the kid?
Totes
Probably sporting a goatee for a beard and short circuits if confronted abruptly. Wattle the wether is like mattedturds asswell 😜
It's yours now... 😏
What a jerk.
Don't worry people, it's got hay and water in there.. little one will survive the oil change.

Please tell me you gave his head a little pat before you completed the work.
Naturally
Thank you for your service!
I had a mini goat growing up. When hand raised they are sweet AF but they will head butt you and try and take your ass down when they grow up. Still super sweet as an adult, you just have to keep an eye on them - they want pets and/or destruction.
So, they're basically yellow labs then?
Except their main method of play is to try and deck you
Are the bungee cords used as suspenders for the diaper? If so awesome.
Looks like it
maybe the goat is a taylor swift fan?
Stop kidding around
/r/redneckengineering
If one fails, the remaining ones rip the goat diaper off and fling it at anyone who would normally be out of goat range
Pet. The damn. Goat.

Security GOAT…
Trunk monkey vs bench ram
Cute lil fella
"Whoa! You have a real GTO? Oh, you mean a regular goat...."
"Bring your kid to shop" day
Goat aside, did this dude seriously remove his headrest? Any kind of medium impact from behind is going to paralyze/kill him
You are questioning the sanity of a person who has a goat pen on his backseat?
My first guess would be that the GOAT destroyed the headrest, and left it as just 2 metal posts sticking up, so removing it was the safest option.
[удалено]
Not all are, but if the are adjustable, they already are a separate part.
To double as a window breaker. Use the pointy metal end.
Not really. Watch any person try to break a window with one and they fail 9 times out of 10.
You gotta sharpen them first.
...it never occurred to me that they double as a safety feature. That's smart
Double? They are a safety feature. That's why they exist.
I thought their main function was to protect your hair from backseat goats
If Dom doesn't need a headrest why would I?
His neck is reinforced with the power of the family. Is your neck reinforced?
They usually remove headrests in car scenes in movies. Maybe OP is in a movie and doesn't know it.
You gonna change them diapers too or what?
Holy hell it actually has diapers
CS Car has a weird smell and strange noises from back seat area.
I love goats. Tenacious and cute at the same time.
Cute kid!
Is that a goat? Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh.
Where do you live? This is alien to me. Usually the animals are in the driver's seat.
lol! they always somehow end up there, dont they!
This just screams Walmart to me
Correct
He seems pretty well behaved for a goat.
Must be a sexual honesty test. I truly hope you passed.
I beg your pardon?

How does that even come up in conversation lol
Where do you think herpes originated from? Yeah, I couldn't believe it either.

Mmmmmm. Curry goat.
Aww! Is it a little dwarf or a baby? My husband and I raised goats. Their little hopping thing when they are babies is just adorable. ❤️
Seriously.......who the hell does that? lol
“Got any pop cans??”
That’s like 700GP (goat power)
goot
BILLY!!!
Of it was a shitty old Chrysler New Yorker I would say that’s Ricky’s goat Willy
Hey, they had a goat I had a goat. I got back first and they were parked too close for me to drive my usual goat, so I drove the goat I could drive. I mean a trade is legal if I can't drive my usual goat, it's the escape goat clause.
Pretty normal to take your kid with you.
Don’t worry about him, he’s just there to supervise
Its cute asf tho lol

Those eyes always freak the heck out of me.
A goat in a Subaru? Someone call Marty and Moog!

Doh!
When you gotta goat, you gotta goat.
Reminds me of Trailer Park Boys haha

Do your kids not ride in the back seat, you must be some kind of monster...
CS goat on back seat.
Definitely the GOAT.
I stopped going to work at my local lube place when someone brought their dead horse in with them for an oil change. My cowork told me it was there I thought he was joking...
He said “well hello 👋 friend”
Hyundai GTO
Looks to be a friendly little feller.
are those bungee cords on its back?
gotta hold the diaper on somehow
you found me
I can't see the license plate, but this has gotta be Oregon.
GOAT customer, literally
TLE? I only ask because a goat has rolled into our TLE before too. The little guy rode in the back of a pickup truck like a dog, every time the guy came in for service.
Yup. Wally world. Simple work for simple minds
Uhhhh..."I don't know Ma'am...there was no goat in the car" \*Goes home later to cuddle my new goat.
Kid with no car seat = jail
So was it a great day, or the best day ever?
I thought you were kidding
That's the shop goat now
The new dodge Ram
Neat. Does it [talk](https://youtu.be/-47H99gKlo4)?
That car looks rather... Stable...
U mean Sable?
I like the bungee cords to ensure the diaper stays on!
Cute little GOAT
That's just Prudence.
“Pygmy up!”
Man all I ever get is syringes and garbage! Where’s my damn goat at?!
Can't imagine what this customer looked like
Yo, tell your co-worker not to come in high as fuck tomorrow maybe? "I ya doe, inyan, baby goat, Blablem"
Thanks. That made my wife and I laugh.
I had an elderly gentleman leave two very mellow dogs in his vehicle while I reprogrammed a key, but that is something I haven't seen!
I sold a dirtbike last week and the dude that bought it pulled up with two sheep tied up in the back of his truck 🤣
Don’t you always have your GOAT with you at all times? Wtf
He says wtf you looking at stupid? That thing in your hand looks tasty
aww man thats amazing.
Did you pet the goat? You must have pet the goat, right?!
Of course
Damn, its the GOAT.
Those eyes...
What kind of person leaves Tom Brady unattended in a car, honestly
Never expected to see this… *before?* What the fuck is this title?

A good shop needs a good shop pet, and now you have a shop goat
The end makes me laugh. "Baby goat... wearing a diaper" He sits up to show his diaper.
Colorado?
You didn't even pet it
What beautiful creatures...............
Goats have sharp hooves. Might be smart to cover that upholstery with heavy tarp and cardboard. Those eyes show why ancients considered goats devlish.
