That one Tuesday where every wheel bearing failed at once
Last Tuesday I had three cars come in with bad rear wheel bearings before 10am, including an 07 Subaru Outback and a Ford Taurus with 180k miles. Worst part is my impact gun died halfway through the first hub job, so I had to break all the bolts loose by hand with a 4 foot breaker bar. Ended up working until 8pm just to finish all three, but the shop made $1,400 that day. Anyone else have a day where one specific part just dominates the whole schedule?

Man, those days are brutal but honestly kinda satisfying in a weird way lol. I've had the same thing with brake calipers, where I just stocked up on the common ones and kept a spare breaker bar in the bay so I wasn't scrambling mid-job.
