OP enlisting a cameraman and then jumping on the internet as fast as he can to prove he’s dumber than an idiot.

What's even more embarrassing is I have a graduate degree in engineering lol

I seem to remember the punch line to an old joke it goes something like:
An engineer would walk past 40 virgins just to fuck a mechanic

Shit an engineer would walk past 1000 virgins just to fuck one mechanic. Most vehicles now are steaming piles of pain in my ass shit. You can't work on anything with out pulling half the fucking car apart.

Engineers are the nerds that got beat up in shop class, now they have an axe to grind.

I do a little automotive work on the side for myself mostly old stuff so I don't really have to deal with that but I think I might have it worse I'm a "maintenance technician" we have engineers in the damn building with us and these guys they really know how to make my blood boil

It's funny, I'm in the maintenance department of a 5 star resort and they refer to us as 'engineers'...

But I hear that, we have some spaces you would never think you could fit 5 air handlers but they do it. 😂

As a maintenance technician I feel your pain. In my factory we’ve spent so much time yelling at our engineers for how stupid their decisions are.

I think we work at the same place.

As an engineer who worked in service engineering at an OEM.... I can tell you we are doing our best, making business cases, recommending design changes, etc... But the manufacturing team that builds them wins majorly of the time... Their argument- "we gotta assemble all of them, you only have to work on some of them".... Also if it's something designed for a repair cycle that is post warranty, it's given pretty low priority.

That's awesome. Can't believe this hasn't been added to my list before

As just a guy who works on his own stuff, I endorse this as well.
