I once was an apprentice aircraft mechanic... you just wouldn't believe what went on. I really think the FAA has improved maintance standards since i was doing that though.
 
You should have seen what we wrote sometimes in the navy when we signed off on gripes on our planes,,,, Had my a$$ chewed off several times by the old man! He would scream and hollar for 10 minutes and then laugh for an hour, usually on the beach over many beers!
