I bought brake pads to do the front of my F150 yesterday @ Oreilys.

I had to go back to get the right pads. For real.

When I returned the first set they sold me, the pads were still in their little shrink wrap (I saw immediately when I opened the box that they were DRASTICALLY different than the ones I was taking off)- the box was open, but the pads were still in plastic.

Counter lady, "If you installed these, we cannot take them back."

One more then back to work.

At Christmas one year, my sister gave me two new shirts and said "You need some shirts that are NOT from a thrift shop."

“If you would have sold me the right ones, I could have.”

If you took this off the transmission after you took it out of the bath tub so your wife could get a bath, you might be a....

My brothers used to always say 'burglar' when they'ld visit each other. At least, they weren't encyclopedia salesman, right?

And how often is that backup line run in the same trench...

Welllll... done correctly it's called "Redundant" and if the redundancy is properly engineered not only will it not be in the same trench none of the physical nor logical routes will be the same.

What Doug said. Our redundant vpn fiber connections are not anywhere remotely close to each other geographically, unless you generalized it as in the US.

We all know what they are supposed to be. But I have seen cases where that did not happen.

How many times have you seen critical backup servers on the same electrical circuit side by side in the same room?

Never in my data centers. Data circuits came from different POP's. Typically entered different ends/sides of the building. Back in the late 80's or early 90's Sprint Telecommunications learned a valuable lesson as it relates to redundant POP's when they had a flood, I believe it was in Fairfax, VA. Whut'a mess that was - for them!

ETA: If it was "supposed to" and it wasn't - bet'cha that didn't happen but once! Easy enough to test for redundancy under controlled conditions!

Classic was the nuclear reactor in GA where a worker knocked over a CANDLE in the 5 way redundant cable run and put the whole reactor out of service.
