a friend of a friend's was asked by a girl he vaguely knew to help her service her bike. (this is one of those emoxfag stories..)
he was keen to get to know her and a nice guy so he said he'd do it. He serviced the bike, and noticed that she needed new brake pads. So he replaced them, not realising that he'd put them in backwards...
first time she rides the bike, hits the brakes, the pads come clean out and she crashes :-(
I don't think he saw her again
