Back in the '70's I worked at a place called Fleeners Auto Store, part of a now gone nationwide chain of stores. They used to carry a line of wrenches TAT (Thorson Allied Tools) that had a lifetime guarantee to try and compete with Craftsman. Break one, no problem, bring it in, exchanged no questions asked. So one time a fella brings in a big boxed end wrench that he broke the box out of, so I traded him and sent him on his way. Super Glue was new then too, so I got an idea and super glued the pieces back together and tried it out. Super Glue might have been good for a lot of things, but that wasn't one of them. It came apart pretty easily. So, I glued it back together and left it on the counter where I knew that my unsuspecting boss would find it and tell me to put it away, and he did. He picked it up, took a quick look at it, didn't notice the crack, handed it to me and told me to go put it away.
"Why do I have to do everything around here?" I demanded to know giving a real good hard slam onto the counter in fake anger. That thing shattered and sent pieces flying in front of him and customers. He stood there looking at me in disbelief to the point where he started laughing, not knowing whether to be mad or not, not knowing whether I just really broke that big wrench...in front of customers to boot.
So most people are not car mechanics and need your help. If they didn't, you might not have a job, something that lots of people wish they had these days. Tomorrow's another day. Good thing they aren't all the same and event free or we'd be pretty bored this only time that we're on earth.
