This is a question "You're doing it wrong"

Chthonic confesses: "Only last year did I discover why the lids of things in tubes have a recessed pointy bit built into them." Tell us about the facepalm moment when you realised you were doing something wrong.

Car trouble
I started to notice that often when I took a turn at a fairly slow speed a "gooing gooing" noise would be heard. It sounded like an over-stretched wire, or a spring, and seemed to be coming from the driver's side of the car. I took it into the dealership and drove around with the mechanic for 20 minutes while he listened to it. He finally told me that he'd never heard anything like it before, but "we'll find it and take care of it."

Got a call later from the dealership. The cashier read me the report from the mechanic: "Customer reports 'gooing' sound when turning. Removed half full water bottle from under driver's seat. Sound gone."

I had similar with a really odd vibration, only to discover I had left my phone in my back pocket and my fat arse had muffleed the ring...

They didn't, actually. I would have paid though. His time was worth something.
