THIS is why every woman needs to take a course in basic auto mechanics. Have effing mercy. I'm too sympathetically embarrassed to find it as funny as it actually is.

2. Yeah.
I know a little bit about autos enough to suspect that mechanics try to con me from time to time...

5. That's a total DJ voice, isn't it...I'd be so pissed if my mechanic handed over my phone number for

a prank. I mean, jayzus.

ETA: I've had mechanics try to screw me over and there is great pleasure to be had in schooling a mechanic on the work that has been or needs to be done.

6. People who don't make the effort to know basic things deserve to be screwed.
While we need policies and whatnot to protect people from scammers and charlatans and other human garbage, there comes a point where we as a society have to also put some pressure on people not to be so goddamned dumb and stop asking the nanny state to protect them.

13. Reminds me of a TV advert I saw a while ago
Slightly dishevelled husband walks into the house, looking as pleased with himself as a toddler who has taken his first unaided poop. "I had a flat tyre", he tells his wife, puffing out his chest, "but I changed the wheel!" The wife looks amused, and says "you know our insurance includes breakdown cover, right? You could have called someone out to do that!" The husband's pride visibly deflates. And I'm like, WTF? When did being self-sufficient, and able to perform a simple emergency task, become (a) exceptional, and (b) a cause for patronising laughter? If I get a flat, I'm supposed to wait 45 minutes for someone to come and change it, rather than do it myself in 5 minutes? If I want to understand and do things for myself, I'm an idiot? Fuck that!

14. Because knowin' stuff is unpatriotic, and being dumb is COOL.

9. You find out in the end that it was her Dad's idea,


...he put the radio guy up to it, and provided her phone number.

I hope they are one of those families that really has fun pranking each other... and I hope she gets him back, x 10.

No, wait. We did that one.









Okay, I hope she pokes around in his latch mechanism with a flat-blade screwdriver.

11. what an asshole.
He should have been fired if he was a regular car place employee.

I have met a lot of women who say "I don't wanna know about that." This is when I try to tell them how to jump a car battery, and I'm female.

I guess they would rather be stranded with a dead battery :wtf:

:banghead:

RED to RED, BLACK to BLACK......real simple.

12. sounds like my sister - she starts hyperventilating when I try to explain

that just CHECKING her fluids could save her ass big time.

Oh and if you drive any kind of junker, better to actually know what a ground is and not rely on color - sometimes things get used in emergency repairs that aren't exactly ...um... standard :rofl:
