Did my good dtun for the day

[Elhuero]

So I stopped at sev for poptarts and gatorade this morning, and a woman in front was trying to handle a quart of oil and the hood of her ford exploder at the same time.

asked if she needed help, and she said she needed a funnel to pour the oil.

a guy that walked up said stores like 7-11 usually have paper funnels for folks to use. So we went in and couldn't find any funnels for free, they had a plastic one for sale but she said it was too big. I told her in a pinch all she needs is a piece of cardboard or something to roll up.

the other guy asked her if it was for transmission fluid, she said no, just oil.

he replied you don't need a funnel for that, we all went out to the car and learned that she was trying to fill the oil thru the dipstick tube. she said she'd always done it that way.

so I held the hood and he poured the oil, put it 1/2 qt and checked it, still needed it so he poured the rest in, then all went our separate ways.

I felt a little silly for not getting more info first, and trying to help her find a funnel to fill the dipstick tube.

Over the winter after one of the very small snow falls we had this year, I was at one of my customers shops and the shop kid had to go out and pick up some parts or something. He was in the shop truck, which was a REAR wheel drive Toyota pick up truck. The driveway was kind of steep so he was having a hard time getting out of the driveway, he just kept spinning the REAR wheels.

He gets out of the truck and comes stomping in, you could see the frustration on his face as he walks in and says "I cant get out of the driveway the tires just keep spinning" (we know this because we were all sitting there watching him). The manager says "go in back and grab the bucket of sand and throw it down in front of the tires, that should help you out". Kid goes in back and comes back out with the sand and a snow shovel. Cool smart kid he will remove some of the snow AND throw down some sand. Good for you kid, way to use your head, I thought to my self.

Back out side he starts shoveling the snow in front of the FRONT tires, ok, he'll get to the back...nope. Then he throws sand down in front of the FRONT tires, ok, he will definitely throw sand down in front of the rear tires....nope!!??!??? Throws the sand and shovel in the back of the truck and jumps in the drivers seat, slams that baby in drive.....and spins the tires like there is no tomorrow.....

We see him slam the thing in park and just out stompin his feet, eye brows furrowed and you could see the anger in his eyes. He busts open the front door and with as much anger as he could conjure up he says "its still fuckin stuck"........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh my gosh, I was already laughing so hard, and then he comes in and says that. I laughed so hard that I actually popped a muscle in my back and I peed a little in my pants. I can even put into words how funny it was at the time and how hard I was laughing!!

Sad, but true...This could have been my wife. When we met 10 years ago, she was doing the exact same thing!
