 we can't blame someone for not knowing. it happens. i got a good laugh out of it, but i needed it too, as besides the fact that this is monday, the day was going like $%$. this lightened it up.

 also, in nearly 30 years working on cars, i've never seen a spare mounted backwards before.

I once saw someone put the acorn lugs on backwards. I'll never figure out how they never loosened before making it to the shop.

I helped a person on the side of the road one time. Their tire was completely shredded from running flat.  They were lying under the back of the truck directly under the spare tire trying somehow to hammer the spare tire off with the tire  iron.  I got them going again showing them how to lower the spare and use the rest of the emergency tools.  They just complained the about their dealer how they bought this new truck and how the dealer should have shown them how to use all this and that they would go complain to them..... I still chuckle seeing them under there banging away at the spare tire.

My favorite donut spare tire trick is when people put the little spare on a drive wheel, drive around like that all week until the weekend before getting a new full size tire put on, and then wonder why their transmission or differential sounds funny forever after that.

For full size tires, its funny to see guys who spend big bucks on ultra high performance uni-directional tires and don't realize they're ALSO left and right side specific.  They mount them all rotating in the right direction, but one tire has in big block lettering "THIS SIDE IN" showing on one single tire, since they bought 3 of one side and only 1 of the other.  The first time I bought race tires, tire rack shipped 3 right tires and one left tires, and discount tire tried to mount them without telling me.  That one was pretty funny after the fact, since both tire rack and discount tire had to eat the cost of shipping/remounting one tire since they both fouled up.  It wasn't funny at the time though, since I missed one race that season due to the extra week delay getting that last tire shipped/mounted.  Maybe they thought that the guy who bought race tires doesn't actually LOOK at the race tires he puts on his car before driving ludicrous speed?

Deep dish! Fantastic!

Maybe they thought it was a directional Tyre and could only find the spare for the left hand side of the car

I stopped and helped a lady that had a flat, I could see that the spare was already on and flat so I didnt pay a whole lot of attention until I talked to her.  So I asked her if she had a jack so we could take her tire off and run down to the store which was about a mile away and plug it(I always carry plugs, never thought of how to air up the tire afterwards   ) ahhaha.  So she tells me her jack is already under the car so I bend over and look, a guy had already stopped to "help" her and jacked the car up by the rocker panel    and the jack went through the rocker and was stuck quite good in it.  took almopst an hour and a half to get the jack out of the body of the car, jacked it up, and took her tire down and fixed it for her.  Dont guess the guy that stopped to help had any idea of where to jack a car up at    never seen a spare put on backwards like that.

  there is a dodge pickup in town here gotta take a pic of it if I see it again, he has tiny tires in the front, looks like a 235 75 15 maybe, and then looks about the same size as my trucks tires which are 265 75 16.  I guess it would be okay if he re geared the whole thing, but wow I would hate to put that in 4wd and run it 30 minutes

 i've seen people put jacks right through the floorpans of cars. a mechanic i used to work with lifted an old mid 80's f-body on an above ground lift. by the pinch welds. any of you guys that knows f-bodys knows what happened.
