            LOL, I’ve actually used thread locker before on my past vehicles, and still never had as much issue as trying to loosen and remove nuts and bolts from someone else’s neglected vehicle… ☹️

              Loosen isn’t an issue, it’s when i want to spin it out with my hand because there’s no clearance for tools or socket or ratchet and i have to spin it little by little with a spanner that i wish i anti-seize it instead, yet it’s the bolt/nut i wouldn’t want it to break loose while the vehicle is operating, so all i can do is bitch and whine while doing the work. But then it’s way better than a rusted bolt lol

    Not a mechanic, but I work from home and my wife gauges how busy I am by the intensity and frequency of the swearing. Post checks out.

    my cousin, who conveniently lives next door to me has been a mechanic for probably 30+ years and i can confirm excessive amounts of cursing being involved in any car maintenance.

    Literally why I didn’t want to change my car headlight yesterday, also can confirm it was a bitch and bit my knuckle and received choice verbage.

    ITT: I learn that despite never even attempting to fix a car ever in my life, I’m a natural mechanic.

      I’ve got plenty enough hours years under both fields to confidently admit, cursing comes with basically any field of repair.
