More of a funny story...
Quite a few years back I had to replace a gear on an old analog copier in a dentist's office. Got the set screw out just fine but the machine was so old and rusty that the gear had seized onto the shaft. Tried every lube I had in my kit but the damn thing wouldn't budge.
I don't carry rarely used tools in my kit so I went out to the car and got my big ass channel locks. I didn't think about how that would look to the patients in the waiting room. But their faces were priceless! I have a habit with opening my mouth and blurting out what I find funny comments at some inopportune times. Without a thought, I said "Got a tough pull back there." Hey I thought it was funny! The receptionist gave me 'the glare' pulled me aside and asked me never to do that again.
Got the gear replaced and got the heck out! Had to use the back door after that one.
Also have broken shit, got cut and shocked over the years like everyone else and probably still will in the future...nature of the business.
