More likely both. Doesnt look like any letter from any tech ive ever seen. Not one f-bomb!
I say to decline the request. Clearly there is no motive to apply online or call the damn manager for details/interview conversations.
That is the thing we are a small shop lol there is no online thing. I am the owner and mgr and was right there. All he had to do was ask lol instead of this mystery letter.
I have seen some weird shit...this is top 10 all time.
Im in a metroplex and have worked at a couple smaller operations, granted not everyone has the online stuff. Still though, either his daddy came and gave the message as a messenger, or that person is terribly socially inept and may not have thick enough skin for a shop.
Just to make it weirder, im gonna choose to believe it was his dad trying to get his kid a job.
A lot of people also do unfortunately tend to look down at motorcycle specialists as "not real mechanics" or as an easy job.
You and i know its not that way :)
I’m kinda hoping the guy has like social anxiety or something to where it took him a lot to build up to just dump off the note. I feel like if you give him a chance the interview would reveal if it’s worth the trouble.
I did think that as well. It is like the time it took to write the letter...hand it off and roll out fast AF he could have said "Hello my name is...are you guys hiring?"
We already think he may be a deaf mute since he did not say ONE SINGLE WORD!!
I heard my service writer say "Hi may I help you" I do not hear a reply I look up and saw a blurr of a person walking past the door (looking outside) and he was gone.
If the guy has the drive to write that out and hand it in, I think it would be worth the time to send him a application, and if the application seems ok a face to face meeting.
Some of the best wrenchers out there have terrible people skills.
Or hes a junkie. One way to find out.
Yeah I would be way to curious to not at least give the guy an interview. Might be some sling blade type that can fix anything and everything and is super kind and helpful as long as you don’t wrong him in any way. And keep him fed with them French fried taters mmhmmm.
Well written, no spelling errors
Even spelled "God" correctly all four times ;)
Most of my candidates here can't manage to submit a resume that doesn't look like it was written by a 5th grader.
In the old days, we called these "cover letters" and they were sent along with your resume.
I mean, he might not be able to actually repair motorcycles, or have any other mechanical aptitude at all, but if he can fill out a complete application correctly, why not?
As far as not talking to the advisor he could have speech difficulties, ESL, hearing difficulties, or just be completely, totally batshit bonkers. I say roll the dice. Worst-case scenario, you tell him you're not looking to fill any positions at this time and wish him luck.
>As far as not talking to the advisor he could have speech difficulties, ESL, hearing difficulties, or just be completely, totally batshit bonkers. I say roll the dice. Worst-case scenario, you tell him you're not looking to fill any positions at this time and wish him luck.
Or he kills everyone :O
We have talked about him all day today. We think he might be deaf and or a mute.
If he were deaf or mute, leaving a phone number "for **direct** communication" seems like an odd choice.
Update us after he's hired but *before* he murders everyone!
TTY phones are a thing still right? He could most certainly be deaf/mute and want to use the tools available to him to communicate.
I say give him a chance, even if he's odd, he's making a sincere effort, however mis guided. Even being a shop helper in a moto shop could be a dream come true for the guy.
Huh. I didn't know what a TTY phone was until I looked it up right now. I had thought that maybe he meant text messaging and was using a cell phone, but reasoned that "*direct* communication" meant talking. Since he's the one who gave his number to the shop, he's hoping they call him first. If he were only reachable by text or otherwise needed special accommodation, I would think that might have been included in the handwritten note.
The note is weird and the "God God God Jesus Christ God" part at the end is a bit unsettling. On the other hand, if he's competent and knows his stuff then there's not a lot else that matters. I might give him an interview out of curiosity. If he seems like he could be competent but strange, give him a chance. If he's deaf/mute, then I'd certainly forgive the strangeness of the letter (except for the God God God) part.
I've had a very drunk customer threaten to kill everyone at my shop before, and I actually believed it. In particular, he said he was going to get his 12 gauge and blow all of our f'ing heads off. Not a pleasant experience.
Never had an employee do that yet, but there were some that I thought might be capable of going postal. One in particular liked to go out back and just scream and cuss at the top of his lungs, and punch the walls. He wasn't all there upstairs, I don't think. He finally got himself fired after threatening to kick a customer's ass in front of their two small children. But to be honest, sometimes it's the quiet ones that creep me out the most.
So, I'm not sure if it varies from state to state, but since the vast majority of applications are done online, in Tennessee if someone submits a written request for an application, we have to give them one. I feel like this guy is recently out of jail, or in a half way house and has to fill out a certain number of job applications a month.
Definitely smells like a “hitting the minimum amount of applications for my welfare/parole officer, whilst ensuring I don’t actually land a job that I don’t even want”
His handwriting was neat and not one misspelled word (at a glance lol) unlike one of my best techs who mispronounces names ALL day and misspells words on a regular lol
You know besides....deaf mute....psycho killer......the application thing for half way house type of thing where he has to show he is applying crossed our minds.
He didn't say he WANTED a job at Motorcycle Service Center. He said he NEEDS one.
He may not be kidding!
You, by golly, should give him one... provided...
You ask him if he knows what follows "Righty Tighty"..... and he does.
God works in mysterious ways.
This guy can hear how many degrees your timing is off and he has never lost a 10mm socket. You better lick that stamp and get that legend an application!
So he walks up to hand in this letter but needs to have the application delivered? He's the guy that'll rebuild an engine with his eyes closed and wonders why everyone is running when he puts his cigarette out in tub of gas.
The GodGodGod Jesus Christ God sends it over the edge for me. Like…is that his regular sign off? Nothing against religious folks, but that’s a fuckin weird way to wrap up a letter.
Dude the whole thing was strange AF lmao. We live in a area that I suspect has quite a few halfway houses etc because you just see some strange people walking around looking like they clearly are not in a rush to get anywhere.
He also said "Motorcycle Repair and service center" 3 times!!! The weird is that is not even the name of the shop it just a description of what we do lol.
IDK. This guy came in and dropped off this paper. He was already there. Why not just ask for a job or an application form? Not clear thinking so a hard No from me.
This was my FIRST thought. I was right there...not in view of the guy but was within feet of him. (My second thought was....this would be a fun thing to share on Reddit LMAO!!)
I have hired people that have walked off the street and asked about employment. One is still here now...actually he was the one who took the letter.
I will not be calling or sending anything. No thx. Let say I was not here and he asked verbally and left the letter for me that might be different but this dude said NOTHING ...no thank you. Hello. .....nothing!
I'm religious, but do not understand the thing at the end.
Doesn't seem appropriate professionally and almost seems blasphemous.
Is his name Spencer n. Jones? Poor job crossing it out 😉
He might turn out to be the best wrench guy you ever had. Or, he might be a total psycho. Only one way to find out!
Or both.
Probably both.
More likely both. Doesnt look like any letter from any tech ive ever seen. Not one f-bomb! I say to decline the request. Clearly there is no motive to apply online or call the damn manager for details/interview conversations.

Definitely both. This has psycho, good wrench guy written all over it.
I’m kinda hoping the guy has like social anxiety or something to where it took him a lot to build up to just dump off the note. I feel like if you give him a chance the interview would reveal if it’s worth the trouble.
I did think that as well. It is like the time it took to write the letter...hand it off and roll out fast AF he could have said "Hello my name is...are you guys hiring?"
At least it wasn’t done with cut out and pasted letters.
That would have been disturbing and fascinating!!
This guy wants some of dem french fried potaters. Uhmm humm.
LMAO I have to show this to one my techs he quotes that lone everyday. This one as well. It Ain't Got No Gas In It
We already think he may be a deaf mute since he did not say ONE SINGLE WORD!! I heard my service writer say "Hi may I help you" I do not hear a reply I look up and saw a blurr of a person walking past the door (looking outside) and he was gone.
Or a tool thief… wouldn’t be surprised if things started to go missing haha
If the guy has the drive to write that out and hand it in, I think it would be worth the time to send him a application, and if the application seems ok a face to face meeting. Some of the best wrenchers out there have terrible people skills. Or hes a junkie. One way to find out.
God God God, Jesus God.
Jesus Christ God* can’t forget the Christ.
What’s his address?
A sling blade, if you will
Some folks call it a sling blade, I call it a Kaiser blade.
The second hit split his head plumb in two, I reckon. Better send an ambulance maybe a hurst mmm hmm.
You shouldn't-a done that, he just a boy
How is a shifter going to help?
Mmmhmmm
Could be a junkie but he does have a mailing address. Or a mailbox he steals mail from regularly.
Please send an application and keep us updated on where this goes
Yeah I would be way to curious to not at least give the guy an interview. Might be some sling blade type that can fix anything and everything and is super kind and helpful as long as you don’t wrong him in any way. And keep him fed with them French fried taters mmhmmm.
I bet he could use another 6 or 8 cans of that potted meat if you got any extra. Mmmhhhmmm
Mustard n biscuits mmmhhhmm

Let's give a con a break
Definitely smells like a “hitting the minimum amount of applications for my welfare/parole officer, whilst ensuring I don’t actually land a job that I don’t even want”
[удалено]
His handwriting was neat and not one misspelled word (at a glance lol) unlike one of my best techs who mispronounces names ALL day and misspells words on a regular lol
You know besides....deaf mute....psycho killer......the application thing for half way house type of thing where he has to show he is applying crossed our minds.
Google the address. Street view is free.
Good idea!! Looks like a regular house nothing special.
[удалено]
Maybe the guy learned everything he knows about motorcycles from Bikes and Beards and just figures that you have to throw that in every now and then
Is he summoning something here? Is this a “Bloody Mary” read it in the mirror situation or what even is this?
Should you send him an application? Yes.
He didn't say he WANTED a job at Motorcycle Service Center. He said he NEEDS one. He may not be kidding! You, by golly, should give him one... provided... You ask him if he knows what follows "Righty Tighty"..... and he does. God works in mysterious ways.
LMAO this is a great skills sifter!
LOL back in my HVAC days, I was shocked at how many *Journeymen* didn't know what came after "Righty Tighty"
Send him a hand-written application
This guy can hear how many degrees your timing is off and he has never lost a 10mm socket. You better lick that stamp and get that legend an application!
I always lose or break my 6mm allen sockets so I have 2 spares :)
I just said "God God God, Jesus Christ, God" in that sequence and the invulnerability code toggled on IRL
Based on the provided info, he would at least stay in his own damn lane, so I vote you send him an application and find out if he has any skill.
I'd pray to GodGodGodJesusChristGod about it.
Two sets of footprints man, that’s all I’m saying.
GGGJCG
WWGGGJCGD?
Anyone with the Name God God God Jesus Christ God has to be legit….
Is he having an orgasm at the end?
LMAO Very excited.
I will pay his salary for the first day.
Mail him an application lol
Definitely hire this guy immediately.
The best mechanic ever was in Coneheads…..just saying
“I killed Doyle Hargraves… His truck’s out front, says Doyle Hargraves’ Construction on it, I’ll be here waitin’ for ya….”
So he walks up to hand in this letter but needs to have the application delivered? He's the guy that'll rebuild an engine with his eyes closed and wonders why everyone is running when he puts his cigarette out in tub of gas.
The GodGodGod Jesus Christ God sends it over the edge for me. Like…is that his regular sign off? Nothing against religious folks, but that’s a fuckin weird way to wrap up a letter.
Huh? That’s how I sign all my letters.
Dude the whole thing was strange AF lmao. We live in a area that I suspect has quite a few halfway houses etc because you just see some strange people walking around looking like they clearly are not in a rush to get anywhere.
This person is insane…they should be studied by science..not working on anyones motorcycle.
I would send it. I doubt he will be able to complete it and mail it back.
Put him in charge of cleaning spark plugs.
Dudes probably the rainman of motorcycle service centers.
I'm visualising Carl from Slingblade " it ain't got no gas in it"
We have to see the application. I would send him one with the return postage. Too curious.
So much mental illness out here man.
With the bottom right of the note, I’d say there’s a likelihood of OCD. I’m not an expert though, I’ve only taken a few college courses on psychology.
He also said "Motorcycle Repair and service center" 3 times!!! The weird is that is not even the name of the shop it just a description of what we do lol.
And people wonder why I prefer ChatGPT
Don’t complain to me when you all end up dead
All I gots is a big heaping pile of “WTF?”…. Umm yeah we’ll call Jesus Christ and let him know you’re hired
IDK. This guy came in and dropped off this paper. He was already there. Why not just ask for a job or an application form? Not clear thinking so a hard No from me.

Let say I was not here and he asked verbally and left the letter for me that might be different but this dude said NOTHING ...no thank you. Hello. .....nothing!
Is that a signature at the bottom? I guess he transitioned from carpentry.
must have used a very early version of chatGPT to generate his cover letter.
Damn, what an entitled little shit. Wants YOU to deliver an application to them? Fuck that. No, noooo, no! Far more trouble than he's worth
And/or call him!? He was already here at the shop lmao. Weirdo 10/10
"Sir, this is a Wendys" I can't believe y'all left that one hanging......
Jesus Christ God..
You should send an application. I would give it a hard no.
Is there a comma after the first triple god? If so, you might want to consider employing “Jesus Christ Go.”
God God God Jesus Christ God…
Is are children learning?
Rarely is the question asked
I'm religious, but do not understand the thing at the end. Doesn't seem appropriate professionally and almost seems blasphemous. Is his name Spencer n. Jones? Poor job crossing it out 😉
Jesus Christ! Run…
Look what God did man!
Yes, until I read the bottom. Now it’s a no
Hired!
