i recently went to my gf's mom's bf's (my gf's step-bf? no...) guy at Midas. he ended up not being able to fix my car, but when i went to pick it up, he handed me the keys, and said "no charge." it basically took everything in me to not turn to the lady in the waiting room and condescendingly say "i was like you once." you gotta have a guy!

i think this is something exclusive to quick oil change places. i was at valvoline, but the brand doesn’t matter. the experience started negatively, after the mechanic wrongly accused me of pulling the wrong lever to pop the hood. so i banished him, and thus began feeling like a princess in my castle. the pistons started roaring and i began to float. the pneumatic wrenches were vibrating the car from every tire and it brought me out of body. how strange to feel the extremities of a machine that has become become an extension of yourself. i used my $15 coupon (jesus oil is $89? i gotta learn to do it on my own 🤪), and rolled out while blowing kisses to everyone as they waved me on, including my giant inflated valvoline guard dog. my scarf billowed out the drivers side window (rear left window doesn’t roll down). i never get out of my car.

i don't rly want to buy a car at this point in my life and my best friend has a car so if i ever need to borrow a car, i just ask her. i usually do something nice in exchange like buy drinks or dinner or whatever. this is much cheaper than gas/insurance/car payment. sometimes it's awkward to explain i'm in the red car with the "i'm a horny wizard" bumper sticker but it's a fun lil icebreaker, too

that puppy not starting like it used to? the oil change guys telling u she is getting in the red zone and are u sure u dont want them to swap it out for a small fee?
get your booty to the car parts store. sit in the parking lot and watch a 240p video of a guy changing the battery while somehow holding his phone in his mouth or under his chin or something. ask ur fav LLM what size wrench u need and to reiterate the main steps. go inside and tell the manager who is talking mad shit on the phone with her boyfriend u are sorry to bother but what battery options are there? buy one and a pair of gloves. ask them if u can borrow the correct size wrench. open ur hood and change that shit (negative off first and on last, no metal touching metal). give them the old battery and get $22 back. now u have cute car dust on ur carpenter pants that have been wasting away while u work on ur laptop at coffee shops AND u just became a sexy apprentice mechanic

its the best way to consume media. DONT show me a trailer DONT let me read the flap on the inside of the novel DONT tell me there’s even an alien in it. Dont tell me what it’s about just be like “it’s good you should check it out”
