Haha! I had a manual XE sedan, and the clutch went one morning, so I limped it home.
I still recall whittling a broomstick down to make a guide shaft for the clutch plate! I'll never forget just how heavy that 4-speed box was, too... for a scrawny 20-year old...
Alex, it's good that you bare no malice. A great attitude to take.
Personally, I think if you're behind on a deadline, you advise your customer. Not an hour ago, I had a customer down in Sydney freaking out, because the courier had not delivered a parcel for the last 2 days (on an overnight delivery, to a school). They need the goods for tonight, so I offered to re-pick the order, and hand-deliver it to them, if the courier didn't come through. Then I fired a rocket up the courier. It was delivered thankfully, but I was able to calm a lot of nerves, by offering the customer a solution that didn't leave them running around town on a Friday afternoon, for a problem that they didn't cause.
