A mechanic that ain't cursing is a mechanic that ain't working.

Fuck this bolt is stuck!
Goddamn I busted my hand again!
Oh shit, I lost another 10mm socket!

And the list goes on and on...

Playing the 10 mil game.
Not a mechanic, but I work from home and my wife gauges how busy I am by the intensity and frequency of the swearing. Post checks out.
Just to give a shout out to my boss when I worked as a mechanic, I'd like to say "get the fuckin' torch. She's hogged up tighter than a nuns cunt" and also a "she shakes like a sick whore shiting blood". Lastly, I'll add "fuck you shit whore fucking cunt"
Duane, you made amazing progress in the world of profanity and you were an amazing mentor.
Thank you.
my cousin, who conveniently lives next door to me has been a mechanic for probably 30+ years and i can confirm excessive amounts of cursing being involved in any car maintenance.
Literally why I didn't want to change my car headlight yesterday, also can confirm it was a bitch and bit my knuckle and received choice verbage.
Is there a Correlation between the Use of Swearwords and Code Quality in Open Source Code?
ITT: I learn that despite never even attempting to fix a car ever in my life, I'm a natural mechanic.
- I've got plenty enough ~~hours~~ years under both fields to confidently admit, cursing comes with basically any field of repair.
  
  I worked on computers for years and I can confirm that fixing software and I can confirm many vulgar epithets coming out of my mouth.
I think if you work in any mechanical shop this comes with the territory.
