The day a washing machine tried to fight me and lost
So I had this call last Tuesday for a machine that was shaking like it was possessed. Got there, pulled the panel off, and the counterweight bolts were completely loose. Tightened them up with my 13mm socket, ran a spin cycle, and the thing walked across the floor anyway. Turns out the customer had stuffed a king size comforter in there that was way too heavy. Had to use my level to check the feet and adjust them three times before it stopped dancing. Anybody else ever get called out for a "broken" machine that just needed leveling?

And man, I feel you on this one. Nothing worse than driving out to a job and realizing the "fix" is literally just turning some feet. I had a similar call where the customer swore their machine was possessed, but all I had to do was move the rubber shipping bolts from the back where they left them.
