Ha, at least you took the PH, I knew a guy left everything.
Chainsaw pet peeves?

Let me guess, he left the whole saw and it was your saw?

People that don't know what a wedge is for, let alone own a couple.

I have chainsaws and chainsaw accessories.
My uncle got the bar stuck after when the tree he was cut sat down in the v shaped
Cut he made(no face cut and went the holding wood). Week or so later we go back to check, the tree fell into the road, we met our now good friend mark who removed the tree from the road, and my uncle got his bar back.

But it was the guy that brought my saw back with no oil and the chain off.
Saws with clutch covers that are held on by both nuts and screws.

When a saw that you just bragged up to high heaven cuts like a dud around an audience...

Yet the same saw cuts like a beast when no one's watching.
People who use fish and chip oil and sump oil or gear oil in their saws,I refuse to work on them.

Pet peev number 1: My local Stihl dealer whose automatic response for whatever you ask for is, "it would be cheaper to buy a new saw". Last time he said it, I said,
"at $900, no it wouldnt."
And if no one else has mentioned it: the Stihl oil filler cap. Hardly ever goes on first time or even second for that matter. Been like it from new.
The Makita cap is so much easier and less complicated. Too much German engineering I reckon.

When a guy tries to tell you his dilapidated 032 will out cut a 395 or a 50 rancher will out cut a 066,just feel like administering a quick blow to the neck to stop the ******** flowing.

I did till someone stole it last week. Was on a pallet near my 500 gal diesel tank.

I charge extra cause they are a nasty mess and just about need to be pressure washed. I doubt it'd be too bad if the chain was kept sharp, but nasty oil mixed with fine dust of the typical dull as **** chain makes a lovely stinky goop.
Of all the "won't oil" saws I've fixed, 95% of them have been "I refuse to buy bar oil" saws.

I cleaned up a Husky 395xp 24" bar for a customer. I wanted him test it before he took it home. He drop started at WOT. The chain caught his jeans. He was lucky to only leave with a hole in his pants.
If this wasn't bad enough, when he tested it, he stuck the bar straight into the log with the tip in the kickback zone.
I haven't heard from him again. Hope he's still in one piece.

I started carrying several felling wedges and a 2lb sledge for this very reason. I'm terrible about getting bars pinched! Too impatient, I reckon.

I had a guy tell me his 5020 and 4218 Poulan were better that any Stihl or Husqvarna.
He also told me ported and muffler modded saws didn't make a saw cut any faster.
That's disgusting! Clean veggie oil makes enough of a mess, I can only imagine stinky fry oil.
My 2-10's previous owner ran used motor oil through it. It was a freaking mess!

When your best neighbor sees how your saw cuts and wants to run it and his first cut goes all the way through to dirt.
