Sadly, this story may not translate well since none of you know the guy it happened to, but Ill make an attempt at humour. Not an install nightmare, but this did happen to an expert speaker reconer at the audio repair shop I owned 20 years ago. We had a rather portly guy that was an amazing speaker reconer. He had done this all his life, and could take any speaker, look at it, and tell you the history of it. He could also dissect a speaker, and replace a voice coil only, even if a cone kit wasnt available, etc. He was amazing. Our shop got really hot in the summer months, so due to his size, hed come in in the evenings a lot of times to work when it was cooler. Since the shop was closed, hed strip down to his boxer briefs and a side door to the shop was propped open with a fan. The shop was in an industrial area of town with little traffic at night. So one Friday night at about 10PM, he was doing his usual thing. All of a sudden, a very attractive female cop comes walking in the side door to see why the door was open, and finds our tech working in his briefs. He explains why hes working at night, she takes it all in stride, and leaves. About 2 weeks later, hes downtown on some errand, and as he was still working, he had some speaker glue in his pocket. Some of the epoxies used in speaker repair generate a fair bit of heat when bonding, and it just so happened that he had some of that glue in his pocket. As he gets out of his car, the glue container opens, drips into his jean pocket, and apparently starts to bond with his skin... which generates heat. Hes walking down the street and feels the heat, and realizes what happened. He happens to be.. outside the cop shop in downtown Vancouver. Hes not close to his car, but realizes that he could be in trouble if the epoxy continues to bond with his leg. He does the only thing possible at the time.. he takes off his pants. Just then, a cop walks down the stairs of the Vancouver cop shop. Its the same damn attractive female cop from 2 weeks earlier. She looks him up and down, shakes her head, and says: Thats... TWICE I swear this is a true story. :)
