I had a lady come in a while back that said her factory radio wouldn't work and she couldn't figure out why. It powered up, but no sound came out. As I pulled it out of the dash, it made this wierd rattling noise. I got it all unhooked and gave it a good shakin' to find out that it was filled with pocket change! I told the lady what the problem "seemed" to be, and she just looked at her 3 year old daughter, shook her head and said "I wonder how all that got in there?" That was so funny! We still laugh about that one to this day!
Anybody else have anything like this happen? I know I can't be the only one!

Never messed with my dad's radio, but I used to drop marbles down the AC vents when he wasn't looking. Gave new meaning to the term "rattletrap".

We had a service shop, and saw things in VCR's from dead/live ****roaches, to Oreo cookies (we took pics of the cookie with a digital camera to show the customer). I've had customers come in with dead systems, only to find the amplifiers they installed in the trunk, doing the breast stroke in a pool of water.

Saw a kid (read, my kid) use a brand new Dennon (one of the first, mind you) cd player as, of all things, a microwave. Yes, a slice of pizza (thin crust) fit in the drawer and closed. What a mess.

If it dont fit, force it... if it breaks, it needed to be replaced anyway...

Installed a full system in a long haul semi. Guy comes back in a month or so swearing and stomping that the Pioneer cassette I sold him was a POS and the tape quit after a week.
We send it in...
We get it back...
Taped on top is a toothpick and a note that toothpick removal is usually not covered under warranty.
I show Mr. Trucker the toothpick and the note and he's obviously embarassed.
When re-inerting the deck I notice the toothpick holder stuck to the dash right under the deck,,,and the one on the dash,,,and the one stuck on the door. Seems he really likes toothpicks.
Had another guy lose 2 CDs one night by jamming them between the case of the player and the cage. Stoned much??

And that's the bottom line, cuz: LORD DUKK SAYS SO!

2 things actually 1)had a sony cd changer come in one night, customer said it brought up an error # every time he played a cd. we pull the cd out, notice the spot of CLEAN in the middle of the pieces of candy and munchies around the changer, turn changer upside down, out comes about 2 handfuls of popcorn, runts, sweet tarts, m&ms, chips, doritos, and assorted soggies, which means colas or juices of some sort... we figure the error message he was getting was the changers "i got a bunch of **** in me" error message
2)had a woman bring her computer in, AN OLD woman... in her 70s maybe... and she said her cd drive didnt work anymore, that she put a cd in the other day, but it never did anything.... please know that this cd rom is the slot load type, just like our cd decks in cars.. NOT tha tray type we open the case up, and find the cd down at the bottom of the case.. seems the cd didnt go in very easily... she just missed the mechanism and jammed it in anyhow, and it fell right to the bottom of the case..... hahahahaah retards i tell you... retaaaaaaaaards
