Me: oh, it's cloudy and not all THAT hot out, I can save gas by just using the fan-without-A/C and the stereo while I'm stuck in the car for ninety minutes for alternate-side-parking on a sick day
Car: hey remember how you said it's cloudy? I'm gonna turn the headlights on
Car: hey remember how you said it's cloudy? I'm gonna turn the headlights on
Car: also, an hour in, I'm going to panic and shut off the stereo
Car: also, everything else!!
Car: did I mention that I turned the headlights on and drained out the whole battery? 🤔
(a very nice smart-meter contractor jumped the car; it took long enough for me to realize we'd replaced the dead-shit cables from last time that now I'm stuck in the car for a full two hours instead...)
f yeah I have run my battery flat SO many times trying to run the fan without the engine running
good luck...
oh nooo
Ochrona: thank! On the bright side at least I did figure out the problem, had the tools, had a friendly stranger with a big ole Chevy right there...
Plurking when bored: safer than plurking when panicking
