It could be literally anything related to cars or the automotive work field. From not changing the oil filter when you change your oil, to guess-torquing rod bolts.
This is not a thread to argue, call people out or make mean fun of each other, but rather a fun way to share stupid things we've done when working on these cars (or any other car).
Let me start first:
I have only one torque wrench, it goes from 28Nm to 220Nm. When the FSM called for anything between 20 and 28, I would unwind the handle below the lowest 28 mark and count the steps, to make it equal, say 20. I actually did this to the rod bolts, where you torque to 20 then do 90 degree turns...
