Been there, done that. And one time, I changed out a u-joint on my car in the parking lot of a Dave and Busters. It dropped out on me on the street and I coasted into the parking lot.
It wasn't in front of a parts store, but I did overhaul a ford c6 automatic transmission in a Best Western parking lot once. Fredericksburg Tx

fake news……no C6 ever needed overhauling, just change the fluid every 250,000 miles and keep going…..

I changed the lifters on my 302 Ford, in a vacant lot in Seattle. Was on my way to Alaska for a few weeks. What went wrong is that when I rebuilt the engine, I pre-lubed the hydraulic lifters with my assembly oil. That oil was 50% STP. The lifters would not compress correctly, and probably on startup, slightly changed the cam lobe ramp. Took six months for the lifters to start making noise.

So after swapping the lifters only, I had about six more months before it was time to change the cam and the lifters. But at least I was off to Alaska, drove both ways on the Alcan.
 

During my son's first year of youth soccer and my first year coaching, I think he was 10 years old, there was a kid in a game doing that shit. He was running around behind the play and kicking kids for no reason. I complained to the ref multiple times and she did nothing. The kids on my team were in tears and had bruises on their legs from getting kicked. I told them between periods when I yell "Seven" everyone on our team go kick that kid as hard as they can. I yelled "Seven" and even the kids on the bench ran onto the field and kicked him. We forfeit the game, so I took the whole team to DQ for Blizzards. I got a call from the league commissioner asking what happened. I told him the kid on the other team was intentionally coming up behind kids and kicking them for no reason, the kids on my team got tired of it and took it into their own hands because the ref wouldn't. We never saw that kid or that ref again.
