1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Atleast you arnt cramped behind a dirty ass fridge brazing stuff while its hot af outside and even hotter inside because the old people are cold and have the heater full blast.

 

Or working in a factory where most machines run on steam. Gives a whole new meaning to "wet" heat.

 

underground access tunnels in really old high schools, 105 outside temp, no A/C (except for the office) ... and every steam pipe elbow wrapped in asbestos insulation

 

job paid very well though!
paid to sweat non stop all day long
plus my truck at the time had no A/C for the drive back home

 

I need a fan. I deal with shit like this all the time

 

Thats clean by my standards for homes in that area.

 

Brand new ones? My neighbors had new highlanders. They looks really nice, idea how they road. Probably most of been nice seeing how they got a 2nd one

 

what's the temp in that room?
i been stuck working in one of those too with no A/C +100 degrees, dripping sweat nonstop all day long trying not to get the polishing paper wet making my figure 8s all day long
could not use a fan, it would blow the paper around

 

That house? Probably a million degrees.
But really it was like 75°-80° outside and hotter then that inside. They were old people, and old people love having the heater on.

Just standing in that room i was dripping sweat

 

It’s pretty bad. Ive walked out of many homes because of roaches. And some homes have small kids.

But the worse thing is when a fridge stops cooling and they leave everything in there for a week vs cleaning it out before i come

 

I think some are a hybrid? Idk. It’s probably a nice cross over for daily driving and occasional ski trip to the mountains or camping trip to koa lol

 

Yeah buy they dont have a repair man coming to look at their fridge and try to fix it.

Im not touching the inside of the fridge if its like that. Ill sit there and wait while they clean it or reschedule the call to give them time to clean.


One time I canceled someomes warranty because i went 3 times and told them they have to clean the fridge before i can work on it. They never did

 

Especially when said machine breaks down.

 

Has he looked at the rav4? Newer ones seem nice and come in awd

 

4th gen runners look like soccer mom cars until you build them up a little imo. But arnt they the only gen with a v8? So thats pretty cool

 

That place rust cars faster then anywhere lol

 

3-4 year old 200 goes for like 50k from what ive seen. Js

 

Just talk your dad into getting a 200

Looks like the 09 and older are dropping in price too. 25k range

 

Wtf? That suuuuucks. I'm mostly in middle class to up scale homes. We're expensive to use for repairs.
But dude, I get a call for a whirlpool cabrio that just sits on the 'sensing' light and doesn't start cycle. I get to address and it's a trailer park... I call office quick and was like do these folks know it's a hundred bucks just to diagnose the problem? And they said yeah. So I go in and it's an older Hispanic couple. And come to find out old man had same name as me but in Spanish and we hit it off, like usual. Everything going along and I figure out it's the shift actuator that has the built in optical sensor for main control to know how fast/slow drum is spinning, etc. Wife comes running into room(it's been about 20-30 minutes since I started) and was like we have the 5 year warranty plan! And it was still under warranty, so I stop and put it back together (remember I'm not paid hourly, I'm paid a percentage of repair bill) and tell them to definitely use the warranty cause a repair with us is likely gonna be around 250-300 bucks. I told them I wasn't gonna collect the service/diagnose fee either and this old man was so cool he comes running out to my truck waving a 20 and was like please at least let me buy you lunch. Yada yada yada.
Dude the poorest people are the most giving and the richest are so dead set with death grip on their money.... Makes you sick. But the poor humble people are usually so gracious man. I love them and would work for them all day long if I could make money doing it lol

 

80s have came up in price while the 100 and 200 are dropping. Im still wanting to get a 100
