How would you like dropping your vehicle at the mechanic and he told you "Short amount of Time" and "Check back soon"... yet it wasn't fixed until the next day!

Most mechanics expect us to pay them for fixing our cars. If on the other hand my mechanic is a friend who happens to be letting me drive his car and it breaks down, I don't think I would feel right complaining about how long he said it would take to fix it before letting me drive it again.

And I must say that equating that message to "lying" and being "dishonest" is a real stretch. "Short amount of Time" and "Check back soon" involve generic measurements of time and mean different things to different folks.
