I have a mower than ran before I sold it, it ran when I sold it to him. Now he tells me it doesn't run. The first thing, "gas" smells like paint solvent- the kind I use to regrip my golf clubs. I tell him and he says "nuh uh!!!".
I dump it, add gas, and it runs like a top again.

Maybe he should have tried a bottle of Absolute next time- he has a better chance of it running.

Alot of people i have met especially in the military, the smarts waved bye bye to them. He must have been hit with the STUPID STICK.

The term that comes to mind is "Do what I said to do and you are not to think about it."

I had a boss once to do this to me. I was working on a $2000 calculator. He came by as I was trying to diagnois the problem. He said for to something and I said it will blow it up. Well he got mad and said "do it because I said to it, I paying you to do what I want and you are not to think differently.". Well it blew up and he end buying the customer another $2000 machine. Boy was he pissed. Never had an argument from him after that when I questioned something he wanted done.

According to him he was the brains of the operation or he needed a brain operation.

Nothing to do with mowers, but my definition of stupid
I was delivering 22,000 magazines to a building with no parking nor loading dock on a narrow street that I could not double park on .
So I was trollying them 200 a time from a block away .
Sitting on the corner were some black fellas strumming a guitar and having a bit of a sing song
The corner was next to a railway station used by university students who were going home en-mass .
It started to drizzle so the black fellas shifted their hats and the guitar player tilted the instrument so water would not enter the sound box and they continued their sing along .
The university students OTOH started to race to the station and one after the other , tripped, slipped & fell over to the point that 2 needed to be carted away by ambulance .
I am a bit chatty so was having a few words to the black fellas as I walked past .
As they were loading the woman who broke one of her high heels then broke her ankle into the waggon one of the black fellas looked at me saying "So universities teach people to be afraid of the rain ?"

Apparently the manufacturer must have ran out of operator instruction booklets.

We used to call that a "Code77". On the old OBD code readers, a code77 was "operator error"!

Several years ago i used to work on (alot) of mowers and people wouldn't stop coming to me for help with their mower problems. One day this guy stops and buys a used push mower. He was shown how to start it. The next day he brings it back and tells me i sold him a piece of junk. He says he used it for 30 minutes and it quit and won't start. The first thing i did was check the fuel tank. I told him, you have to put gas in the tank. His response was, I FEEL SO STUPID. This guy was going to college, so much for education.

Welcome to the forum!
This is what I call an "Educated Idiot" and we have "MANY" walking around.

Fyi- Old Mopar man myself but sold my last one over health 3yrs ago, an original lady owned 69 Superbee. My daily driver well over a decade. One of the original 5000 N96 Ram Air/side scoop models.
Looked OEM down to the bones so I could still show its stock form but I built its 383 Magnum up some. Mopars 509 full race cam, Keith Black pistons & "secret" machining tricks by a race shop (Mopar Man too). 391 gears she was a super stop light runner, true seat gripper for passengers...lol Lope was absolutely beautiful , drone your teeth lose at 55 up, God I miss it all!
Owned over 200 cars, idk # of Mopars, owned a bunch..lol
Peace

Sounds like my brother's boss that his mower quit and he couldn't start it so took a sledge hammer and beat the living hell out of it. Then he checked the gas tank. it was out fuel. So there is at least two idiots out there.

 

[moparjoe]

So much for intelligence. Guy comes to work, tells me his mower wouldn't start so he beats it with a sledgehammer. I said, Matt, what the hell did you do that for, you know I work on mowers. Now you have to buy another one. He says it made him feel good. I didn't even advertise and I had plenty of work. People coming from other counties needing help all because I didn't F them on a price.
