Tell us something really trivial about your life (Vol 26)
Discussion
Special thanks today to the arse that reversed into my wife's car. I asked him to move forward to inspect any damage (some very minimal scratches, certainly nothing to worry about on a heavily stonechipped bumper), decided to just forget it and said as much to him. All I got in return was a grunted 'ok', as he jumped in his car and left. No apology, not even 'thanks' for letting him off with it.
Have old people forgotten how to care too?
An old lady once reversed into a mint condition Supra on our forecourt (a customers car in for an MOT) and I ran after her. She was doing that thing a lot of elderly drivers do, revving this st out of the engine with perhaps 1% clutch pressure engaged barely moving forward and so catching her was easy.
Me: "...You just hit that car!!!...
Old lady: "...but I didn't hit it hard...
Sigh.
In other news, I'm playing Pokémon Heart Gold.

The engine on the MG Metro I had from new used to run backwards. I would turn it off, it would run on by dieseling, shudder to a stop and then fairly often start running backwards. I got into the habit of leaving it in gear when I turned it off and gently engaging the clutch to make it stop.
Things like that could ruin a company's reputation.
