That Saturday where three bikes came in with the exact same derailleur hanger issue

Last Saturday was something else. First customer rolls in at 9am with a Trek Emonda, hanger bent to hell from a minor crash. No big deal, I've got the part. 10am another guy comes in with a Domane, same thing - hanger twisted. Thought it was weird but okay. Then at 11:30 this kid brings in a Checkpoint, hanger snapped clean off after hitting a pothole. Three different people, three different models, all needing a Trek hanger replacement in under three hours. I had to dig through my stock to make sure I wasn't going crazy. Has anyone else had a day where the same problem shows up back to back like that? I swear it felt like a prank.

Oh man, that's prime gremlin energy right there. Like the bike universe collectively decided you needed a test of your hanger inventory and patience all at once.

Nah, that's just regular maintenance stuff (and bike parts are cheap anyway).
