Yea, it was stupidity at its finest. There own "friends" were getting flats too. We were wondering why there were so many flats on the site. I know construction sites are prone for tire issues, but it was so bad that we started trying to figure it out. Sure enough, there they were, sowing drywall nails as if they were planting seed. On their last days, so they couldn't get fired anyway. I would have liked to give them a little vigilante justice, but never saw it myself so I couldn't justify it. Bastards.

 

huh.... thanks for the job, in return for paying me under the table so i don't have to worry about taxes have a flat tire or 2..... and people wonder why some people hate illegal immigrants so much.

 

That's always been my theory. The front tire stands the screw/nail/bolt/etc. up and it goes into the rear tire. I would take a wild guess and say that motorcycles get flats in the rear versus the front tire at least 2 to 3 times more frequently.

U tell us,, anyone after Ya......???

 

Got 3/8 ratchet extension stuck in my truck tire once

 

The was this girl once and I stuck this ...

Oh ****. Wrong forum ...

 

correct me if I am wrong, but they are illegal aliens not illegal immigrants

 

I've been working on the highways for years. It's incredible the amount of screws and nails that can be found in the breakdown lane just after bridge joints. They bounce out of the bed of contractors pick-up trucks at the tailgate hinge space. Eventually, after bouncing around the highway from traffic (with some of them once in awhile ending up in tires) they gravitate to the breakdown lane just beyond the bridge (or bump, or whatever). Don't pull over in a breakdown lane just beyond a bridge... trust me. You may end up broke down.

I would say you picked that screw up after it was jarred from a pick-up bed in a similar manner. Either that or you should quit smoking pot if it's having a paranoidal effect on you.

 

My old excursion picked up a padlock shackle once (minus the lock itself). Looked like it was out of a pretty good size master lock or something similar. I had the local tire shop in the not best part of town go nuts on it and they ended up plugging one of the holes with, no joke, 4 tire plugs! The other hole only needed 2. This guy went nuts and had a bunch of plugs ready to go in the lil install tools, and ended up having to have his kid come help him shove more of em in. I was like, wtf? If this gonna hold? He was real confident and said it'll be fine don't worry about it. Being the tire was around $250 bucks and I was a lil tight at the time I let it go for a lil bit and forgot all about it. Sold the truck 3 years later with no problems out of the tire. I thought for sure in a couple days I'd be flat again.

 

The only reason I posted this is because I was wondering if it was picked up from the road or not. I have never had anything like this in any of the tires on any vehicle I have owned.

And to all you haters, eat a dick
