It has become customary to associate the phrase “Day ...” with some professional holiday that has a specific date in the calendar. Tinsmith Day is an exception. If it can be perceived as a holiday, then only as a labor, lasting “until the last client”. Everything in this event is associated with complete surprise, guaranteeing trouble (mainly on the roads), and full-time to the glorious representatives of this specialty.
Peculiarities of Tinsmith Day Celebration
The profession of tinsmith, which, along with the profession of a janitor, has only recently been associated with the future of the lapman, in our time is becoming not only popular, but also prestigious. In numerous auto repair shops, it is one of the most important.
Its need will grow in line with the increase in the number of cars. In any case, as long as they have a tin body.
Tinsmith’s day is associated with the arrival of winter, or rather, even with the first snow, that is, with the first troubles for motorists. The number of such days varies. And any day fraught with traffic accidents takes on a name that causes irritation in some people. Indeed, why the carelessness of road transport services (Russia's legendary misfortune - fools and roads) should be playfully called "Tinsmith Day." And this "holiday" is already devoted to a lot of humorous poems, stories, jokes. It is clear that everything is relative, and not everyone is inclined to joke on this topic.
2013 records
It is also clear that the harsher the winter, the more happy days the representatives of this necessary profession will have. Therefore, Tinsmith Day 2013, due to unprecedented natural disasters, broke all previous records. Very heavy due to the incessant snowfall were January 17 and 18, 2013 in the city of Ryazan. The number of accidents at times exceeded the usual rates. Things were no better this year in Petrozavodsk and Krasnoyarsk, Yekaterinburg and Novosibirsk. The country is big.
Of course, all the troubles, especially those associated with nature, always come unexpectedly. It is difficult to foresee and predict a sudden heavy snowfall or freezing rain . Especially if a person lives outside the city, and personal transport is the only way to get to the place of work. That is, Tinsmith Day is in some way a national phenomenon, including the condition of roads, the Russian “maybe”, and natural anomalies, and belonging to the determined territory of the country.
Future Tinsmith Day
Of course, calls to change tires on time have their effect, and there are more and more law-abiding motorists, and sand is imported in most cases systematically. And to believe in civilized relations on Russian roads, that their state and road transport services will eventually meet the best world standards, is necessary. But Tinsmith Day, to the delight of a fairly large number of car service employees, will not disappear in the foreseeable future, or maybe it will receive the official status of the holiday with a specific date in the calendar.
