My wife's old pal Josh just rolled through town on business. He and Jen went to lunch and stopped by the office afterward. He asked me to take a look at his mountain bike as it was making some strange noises. Upon pulling it out of his van, it was immediately obvious to me, someone had put a ball bearing in his frame.
"Have you recently had work done on it?" I asked.
"Yes, a tune up." He replied.
Turns out, he had work done at BGI in Indy. For those not in the know, a bearing in the frame is the oldest gag in the book, something you do to your buddies, or enemies. Not to decent paying customer. Having worked at shops for a decade, wrenches are the guys (or gals) I'd go to bat for every time. But not this time. In closing:
Hey guys at BGI, A bearing in the top tube? That is not PRO.
You guys are fucking hacks.

I spent a weekend at BGI when I worked for Trek, they're wrenches were a bunch of pompus punk ass kids, "hipsters" if you will, who'd be more likely to use a hammer than a grease gun. You're assessment of them is absolutely correct.
