You’ve likely heard of the psychological model called the five stages of grief. It’s used to describe the various emotions people might experience when dealing with a significant loss, and the the five stages of grief are commonly defined as denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.
Well, a friend who owns an auto repair shop recently sent me this funny YouTube video from Carl Carlsson, which applies the model to wrenching. Check it out!
