Things that DIDN'T make you laugh today

Surely there's something annoying that your day would have been better without. 

I'll start:
Speeding tickets.

I took the unicorn* in to get the TVs fixed - "we will need it all day, sir".
Next day - "you had better plan for us to have it for today as well, sir"
Day three "it may not be ready until tomorrow, thank you for your patience ..."

* my latest Jaguar

I feel that I have betrayed the point of this thread ...

Yes, I laughed today
Don't put off until tomorrow, what you can put off until the day after.

There is an exception to every rule, apart from this one.

Day 5: still no unicorn, and no prospect until at least day 8 (Memorial Day weekend).

Stop sniggering at the back.

It must take them a while to strip out all those immaculate parts under the hood, and replace them with old tat they bought from eBay.

Better check the odometer when you get it back.

Ha!  That reminds me of a similar plot from Ferris Bueller's Day Off.  The mechanics took the kids' dad's Ferrari for quite the ride.  The velocity is in kph
The kids propped it up and tried running it in reverse to get the odometer to reverse.  The results were catastrophic of course.

Day 8. Still no sign.

This is getting silly.

Let's hope it's taking so long as they're taking special care and attention.

To get that circlip out that they dropped in the block.

Maybe they're trying to clone it?
