We all do dumb things, no one is perfect except maybe Pete and that is only because he is a Saint and all.......

Saturday morning I sneaked out in the garage early in the morning to have a cigarette before my wife woke up. While enjoying the the quiet of 5am, my coffee, and my Marlboro light menthol I noticed a huge puddle at the rear of my car. At least 3 cups of a thick liquid that could be either oil or transmission fluid. First it confused me because I do know the difference between the two. Second it confused me because it was directly behind the rear differential. There is simply nothing back there that could leak besides the rear differential and it would leak oil. 2 hours later after jacking up the car to inspect the differential and checking every on line resource possible I just could not figure it out. My wife talked me in to going to the dealership. 5 hours later I get a call from them.

"Mr. @#$$$. It seems you had a bottle of transmission fluid and oil in you trunk well by the spare tire. The spare tire came loose and crushed both filling your trunk well and thus leaking out of the trunk drain plug"

"fuck!~I will be right down to pick up my car"

"Thanks, the service charge is $116"

Bastards!!!!!!!
 
I make money off dumb people like that all the time too.

Except in my case it is usually a breaker turned off or just a switch turned off.

People like you keep the economy going.

Our new washer was making a weird clanking noise every time it went into the spin cycle. I called and had them send out a repair man to look at it. He walked in, opened it up, closed it, got down on one knee to look under it, and proceeded to pull out a long iron bar with a bright orange tag. The tag read "remove before use". He then turned to me, gave me a very cheeky smirk and said "all fixed, that'll be $50. I accept checks."
 
The dumbest thing you did was smoke.

I mean it tells you on the pack it causes cancer and obviously you been inundated with all the information about the dangers.

DUMMY !!!!

I say this because I care.

Should have pulled down your blouse a little and busted out the video camara...you could have made a movie and become rich!!!!

( I can just hear the cheesy music in the background as I type)
 
Okay, I'll share...

Two days after I got my sparkling new iPhone...I dropped it.

After that, the ringer wouldn't work. I was pissed.

Took it to the Verizon dealer, waited in line for almost 25 minutes. The tech takes one look at the phone and sez "Mr. Downsouth? See this slider button here? When it's slid over to the red color your phone is muted, which means the ringer is turned off...."

How embarassing.
 
A few months after I got my new truck my son can't get out of the back door.
Gotta roll the window down and open it from the outside.

I go to the dealer and explain the problem.

He goes out and opens the door, flicks the child safety switch over and that cures that.
 
About 20 years ago, my car kept stalling on me and I couldnt figure out what was wrong with it. So I took it a mechanic and he fixed the problem for me, I payed him and took off. I got about two miles down the road and the car stalled again. I couldnt get it started so I called the mechanic and he came out and towed my car back to the garage to work on it some more. I was already mad as hell cause I payed the guy a hundred and fifty bucks to fix it the first time and it was still acting up. He looked at the car for a few minutes and then came out to the lobby where I was waiting and said, sir, you was out of gas. lol My face turned red as hell. Luckily he was nice and didnt charge me for wasting his time.
 
new to the asst.manager's position, and having never changed the credit card machine printout roll before, i had all sorts of trouble trying to figure it out. i could change the till rolls, do the computer work, no probs - but trying to figure out how this paper spool threaded in and through the machine did my head in. the manageress was no wiser. for the till rolls it's a case of feeding the paper down a certain way and through for it to be accepted then drawn back and up ready for printing...

she got me to put in a call to the cash card machine helpdesk, and the guy couldn't help laughing. it was just a case of opening the machine, freeing one end of the paper, dropping the spool into the machine and closing it. done. no feeding, no tricky opening or winding or slotting. just in and close. done.

it gave us all a laugh especially because the guy found it so funny :eek: :D
 
i've done lots of dumb things but none of them ever lasted.
i suppose i could try dating smart things instead...

Not all of them may have been dumb....

Just because they told you it went in the wrong hole on accident does not mean it was true.
 
Menthols and coffee? Ew...

I've acquired a taste for fine cigars in the morning. During a long night of partying...
