But you know the job was done right!
 
We must do it wrong.

My shop man tells me I need to get a few filters for the ___ tractor.

I call the local parts place but tell them the wrong tractor.

Wife picks up parts and delivers to my shop.

Shop man drains oil and then looks at the filters to see we have filters for something we don't own any more.

I get pissed and drive down to the parts store and call my shop and pick up filters and everything else we should have on hand.

I get home and give my wife the bill and get cussed for not returning what she bought.

The tractor gets burred behind other stuff needing parts and it starts all over again.
 
My wife "won" a $50 gift certificate to one of those nationally known oil change joints. When she went in for the $29.95 oil change they told hef the transmission fluid looked a little off color and they thought it should be changed .($169.95) She called me for my advice. I told her to just drive it home and I would look at it when she was home. I thought it looked OK and just left it alone. That was 25000 miles ago.
I don't have to wonder why there are so many of those places ......
