Maybe less fun than others here - but I emailed my HQ directly about a question. It was like a scene from Office Space where I had about 5 emails telling me that that was not the proper way to ask questions, along with two Resource Officers AND a Team Leader. Fun times.

How bad must this guy be at writing emails?

Corporate hierarchy is so nebulous and ill-defined that it do be that way, though. I have to assume it's because the uppers want to enforce their own little wankfest instead of just bapping a message to the right person with a quick "FWD" like literally every reasonable person does.

I misread this as 'work ethnic' and was confused, because work ethnic is when you repair rust by cutting it out, gluing a coke can over the hole and filling it up with body filler/bondo.

A repair we did to a buddy's car when his heat shield fell off. He's probably done the exhaust by now with some tube and hose clamps.

If it looks stupid but works it ain't stupid. I ripped the rubber boot on my prop shaft while wheeling so I refilled it with axle grease, wrapped it up in a trash bag and gaffer tape. Lasted a week till I got around to fixing it

I prefer to put a piece of cardboard in the hole and then backfill with expanding foam before applying bondo
