Yep, sure did. I was coming back from a service call from our store in the Mohican Forest. The route I take is sorta backroads type road, mostly traveled by local residents.
I came up on a small car with NY plates on it. It was sitting along the side of the road with the hood up. They flagged me down and asked if I had an extinguisher. I looked puzzled cause I didn't see any smoke coming from their car. What I saw was steam coming off the gravel underneath their car from the catalytic converter. No fire,,,,nothing under there to burn. But they insist that something is burning.
They were jumping up and down with their noses pinched between their fingers ranting and raving about what they were gonna do. One of them said that smell is so terrible that she can't breath and wants to call 911. The other one has the idea of walking away from the car to get some distance from the smell. About 100' away they realize the smell isn't their car after all.
I started to laugh which really made them mad.........The only way I knew how to tell them this was "Ladies? Haven't you ever smelled cow manure before?"
Glad I took that "h" out of the title.....
