going on from evashams thread about the oil in her car, whats the funniest stories you have heard about women.

my ex FIL rold me a few, althugh they are from a while ago now.

one woman went into a garage to ask for some 710 fluid. the attendant didnt have a clue, until she took him to her car and pointed to where it went.

the OIL cap was upside down.

a woman went into another garage, where she had bought a car from, and told them the fuel economy was terrible. they had it ff her for a week, gave her a courtesy car, and when they returned it, told her it was fine. she came back a fortnight later saying it was just as bad, so they decided it was her way of driving.

one of the mechanics went out with her to see how she drove, and the first thing she did when she got in was pull the choke out and hang her bag on it.

what have you heard about??

Some funny tales on here, but to even things up, here's one that involved myself.

My first ever family holiday to Florida back in the 90's. At the time the British Media had been making a big thing about car hire companies in Florida not taking enough care about telling us Brits how to get to our hotels as a couple had been attacked shortly after leaving the car hire place.

I turned up on a dead quiet Saturday morning at Alamo Car Hire in Orlando, and got convinced by the admin guy to upgrade my paid for big car to a super dooper Cadillac. Obligingly he gave me a map and full details how to get to my hotel. So my Ex, and 2 young kids piled in complete with cases etc and set off. 2 miles in I realised we had hardly any fuel and was cursing the car hire place for giving me a car with no fuel. Pulling up at a BP garage, I get out and search all over the car for the fuel cap. 5 minutes later and no joy I go and ask the petrol attendant if he knows where it is, and he tells me it's under the rear registration plate. Feeling like a dumbass I find the cap, open it and start to fill the car with fuel. ONE dollar later, fuel starts spilling out of the car and I realise it's full so sheepishly go and pay my bill. Getting back into the car I then realised the digital fuel guide was showing full, not empty as I had first thought. In my defence I'd never seen a digital fuel thing before.

A few times whilst filling up my vehicle at the fuel pumps, ive seen many women & guys with brand new vehicles wandering around there vehicle aimlessly or constantly opening and closing the boot.

I didnt think anything off it at first, just thinking they admiring there new purchase or company vehicle?

Its when they come over and ask, how or where the fuel cap is and how do they open it??

Sometimes people get out of the vehicle and 'blip it' to lock it with remote central locking, which as you wouldnt guess at first, locks the fuel cap too!! DOH!!

Others are that there is a handle or button ( on some makes & model of vehicle )that opens the fuel cap / boot between the drivers seat / door, most people either 'Push it down' without realising its opened the boot and not the filler cap, when your supposed to 'Pull the handle up'to open the petrol cap.!!

The other ( and I admit that ive done it once!!) is put diesel fuel in my vehicle when it was a petrol engine!!

I argued like mad with the poor cashieer saying I wasnt on a diesel pump, as surely I knew what fuel my own car ran on!!

I had to pay for the fuel as its illegal to refuse paying for fuel, it was when I trundled down the road and the car starting billowing out loads of smoke like a tippee from the exhaust and the acceleration was very poor, that I realised what Id done!! A few hours later being laughed at constantly, whilst syphoning out the diesel and fuelling the car with petrol, I did go back and apologise ( like a twat ) to the cashier for the earlier argument.

I have to say my car ever never ran the same again, even after changing the carbs, the fuel lines and the spark plugs etc. My friends never let me live it down!!

We are all human, and we all make mistakes!! Some more than others!! lol.

I remember a woman bringing her car to a place I worked. It was covered in scuffs and scratches and she asked what was wrong with it as she had only washed the bird muck off.

When we asked what she had used, she replied she had only used wash and wax stuff and a scouring pad!

Let them use there own car and say it instead!!

I have a funny story about a woman and her car.

I went to buy a new battery for my car, a 1960’s Viva.

The guy at the garage (a well-known national brand garage, not some back street place) kept trying to sell me a new alternator, despite me saying I just wanted a battery. He began to insist if I didn’t have a new alternator fitted I would be back in a week complaining the battery was faulty. He got out a calculator and tapped it for a moment or two before declaring what a great deal he could do if I had the battery and alternator both together that day. He explained again how it was a faulty alternator which had killed of my battery.

Eventually I got bored with trying to spare his feelings and lifted the bonnet of my car. I asked “Can you show me where you will fit the alternator? Because I can show you were I have just fitted the new bushes on the dynamo.”

The twat walked off muttering and sent the apprentice to sell me the battery.

i knew a woman who took her new car back to a garage and had a right go at the mechanics because her radio kept coming on when she was listening to CDs without her doing anything.

She didnt realise that the radio had RDS and traffic news and the local traffic bulletins would overide the cds every 20 mins or so during rush hour.

Here's my list of stupid moments with cars:

1) trying to start an automatic in drive

2) taking a year to learn how to lock the boot of my car

3) numerous times of indicating with my windscreen wipers.

4) the inability to change a tyre and needing help to do so everytime I get a flat.

5) not knowing how to open the bonnet of my car.

I am utterly useless with cars!

Delta decided she was going to treat herself to a new car and did some research, she then decided she new enough about cars to comfortably control the conversation in the male dominated car salesman world. Confident in her new found expertise she confidently told a rather bemused sales guy she wanted a rear wheel drive 4 x 4

still blonde

I knew a guy who went to check the engine oil level by pulling the dipstick out and putting it in where the oil filler cap is!!

a few guiding words of wisdom put him right....

still laugh about it now
