This thread is open to anyone who wants to get it off their chest!!!!!!
Had a fellow Honda owner come to my house to change his brakes and rotors. This was at 4:00.
10 min in we are missing the right socket. Trip #1 to the Auto store and pick up a larger socket set. and head back. The socket was just a hair too small.
Trip #2 we get 3 different sizes up to be safe. Then we get the first rotor off and replaced brake pads and all. So far a little frustrating, but we are 50% done.
Then we get to the next wheel and 20 min in and 4 tries between the 2 of us and we cannot get bolt to budge. Trip #3 to Auto store and pick up a compressor, air hose, ratchet, etc. to finish the job.
Get all the hardware in and things are looking good and come to find that we are missing one piece (nozzle inlet) that didn't come with ratchet set...WTF!!!!!
Trip #4 to the Auto store and get some WD40 and the needed piece. Come back and ready to go and 2 min in the air compressor dies.
It's now 8 O'Clock and I am so pissed off. We called it a day and will resume tomorrow.

Got pulled over the other day for no front license plate. Cop harassed me and made me pop my hood. Long story short, he stood there looking at the red valve cover stating that "this is aftermarket and that it shouldn't be there blahahaah" stood there for an hour calling another officer to come by and look at it while I sat on the curve.....MOFO ended up giving me a fix-it for my front plate and that was the end of the story....dumb ass....
