Heh, just thinking a few years ago, when I had my smash in in the snow and couldn't get the engine to startup, my car was stuck on the road and some punks walked by (about early 30s) and said "You've been working on that for two days str8 m8) I didn't say anything, but with the freezing cold weather and the fact that I had been starring at the engine bay for 2 days straight (anyone who knows me knows the harder something gets the harder I push) I was envisaging cracking one of them over the head with the ratchet
As they walked on one of them said "probably not even worth fixing", I don't know whether I was supposed to hear that or not but I was this close to running up behind them and bopping one of them on the back of the head. I am not normally that highly strung but my hands were freezing, I was tired, my back was killing me from leaning over the engine and I was fresh outta ideas.
Anyone got any tales "from the darkside" about similar situations they've been in? Even working on the driveway I feel self conscious nowadays, I wish there was somewhere I could hide and work, maybe when I get a flat I can get a unit (although you are technically not supposed to work in them, everyone does).
