That LRU swap that took 8 hours instead of 20 minutes
Last week I was replacing a comm unit on a CRJ700, should have been a quick swap. Turned out the previous guy had zip-tied the harness in a knot behind the rack. Took me forever to untangle it without breaking pins. Anyone else find stuff like that where someone just made a mess and left it?

Hard disagree on this one. Eight hours for a harness untangle sounds like a chance to slow down and do it right instead of yanking on it and breaking a pin. Last month I found a bundle wrapped around a fuel line on a 737 that the original installer had intentionally twisted to reach a connector. Sometimes what looks like a mess was actually a field mod that kept the plane flying that day. Ever ask the guy who did it why he left it that way?
