Good for them. I get sick of doing peoples computers covered in their own snot and semen. It is disgusting. Would you like to have to do a job where you sat in someone elses crap?

I hate to think what a stinking hovel your house is in. In fact I bet the mechanics had a good old laugh and played a game of "spot the bag lady" when you came back.

Speak for yourself not everyone shoots over their keyboard.

Good point about the computers. It does happen.
But... working in a computer workshop is different to working in a garage. In a garage you expect to get dirty anyway and are dressed appropriately. Sitting on a dirty seat is just no problem. Unless it is incredibly bad (I have visions of mechanic not being able to see the seat for the layer of rubbish including syringes etc).

They refused to do it because my car is too dirty! They said it's a 'health hazard' :rotfl:

It's basically a mobile ashtray. I could well understand why someone wouldn't want to be in it.

What an awful thing to be proud of. :eek:

in my first job years ago, one of the blokes had a Ford Orion that was literally a bin. The cr!p was level with the back seats and the back seat was full of junk as well.
