My grandfather used to own a auto repair shop. One time my parents took their car to him to have something fixed (my mom is disabled and didn't drive so it was my dad that always did stuff like fuse replacements). Well. my grandfather came in just fuming about my dads choice of replacement fuses. Nearly every fuse in the fuse box (this was on an old car with the glass tube fuses) had blown and as they blew my dad either wrapped a piece of foil around it and popped it back in or shoved a piece of coat hanger wire in the slot. My grandfather told him not to ever do anything that stupid again.
