That one Tuesday where everything that could go wrong did go wrong

Honestly, I had a day last month that still bugs me when I think about it. First customer comes in at 8am with a 2015 Ford F-150 that had a simple dent on the rear quarter panel, but when I pulled off the tail light I found a ton of hidden rust underneath. Then a lady showed up for a bumper replacement on her Honda Civic and her insurance company hadn't even approved the claim yet. By 2pm, my paint gun clogged on a metallic blue coat and I had to strip it down and start over. Has anyone else had a day where three things just stacked up like that?

Three bad things in one day sounds pretty normal for this industry honestly. Maybe it was a rough Tuesday but it doesn't sound like everything went wrong.

Buddy of mine had a day where the server crashed, a client threatened to sue, and he locked his keys in the company van. All before lunch. He just sat in his car for twenty minutes eating a gas station sandwich.
