Tell her to leave her key zipped inside her handbag and never take it out!
If she leaves her bag in the car she'd never be able to lock it.

My one...

We were driving along, and I used the windscreen spray in her car.
"Did you top up the washer fluid?"
"No, you didn't ask and it's not saying it's low"
"But it smells like it's low"
"Wat...? Smells like it's low?!" *laughs for 20 mins*
I kinda understand that, fresh washer fluid always has a pungent aroma while squirting.

But that doesn't mean it's nearing the end of the bottle, it always smells. Her point was it smells more at the end, when it's about to run out.

So we get home after a meal out this evening, and my wife looks in the letter box, and one of my neighbours has put a Christmas card in.

On the envelope, it says "Mr and Mrs Tribbles" and a bit lower down "(no. 17)".

She looks at it a bit confused, and after a couple of seconds asks "Who's number 17?"

"We are." I replied.

You've been spoiling her with the Lambrini again, haven't you.

She’s just asked where the bit of paper was that was on the empty box of celebrations.

That she left on the floor in our lounge

That she told me was for the bin

That’d been there for a week, so I tidied up

But she knew the bit of paper wasn’t rubbish

And I’m the idiot...

In summer if you don't use it, and don't put enough wash fluid in, it can become a biochemical hazard. My sister had mould growing in her wash fluid. Probably legionaires disease.

On the subject, some years ago had the car in for a service, MOT are retro reversing sensors fitted, just over a grand, looking at the bill I asked why they had charged me for a bottle of screen wash, as it was full to the brim when I took it in.

Guy said we have to test it as part of the MOT and then refill it, the rest of the bottle is on the back seat.

Told him where to put his screen wash.

Our little electric meat thermometer has become wildly inaccurate. As we were tidying up after the meal I said I would throw it away as it’s broken.

Well, there are a couple of episodes where the killer is not revealed at the start (one of which you don't find out who actually did it at all). I'm guessing it wasn't one of those though!

And a couple where he lets the culprit off.

I have three meat thermometers, none of which is accurate. Stick them in a roast and three different temperatures will show. This is fine if you want medium to well to rare beef, but otherwise, very disjointed.
