Amazing displays of ignoranceSandettie Light Vessel Automatic tells us: "My dad's friend told us there's no such thing as gravity - it's just the weight of air holding us down". Tell us of times you've been floored by abject stupidity. "Whenever I read the Daily Express" is not a valid answer.

Sometimes its cute, sometimes its not.Traded in my old car, and had to tow it onto the dealers forecourt. ZING! Offered me £300 for that puppy unseen, haha! Drove away in my "new" car, noting that yes, it had a full tank. Drove 50 miles down the M6, it coughed and stopped. Managed to coax it to Keele services, called AA, who said "Check you've not run out of petrol". "Nope, just bought the thing, it's full." Wait an hour or two, man in van turns up. "Has it got petrol in?". "Yes, I just bought it, it's full." He dismantles the fuel injection system, checks a whole bunch of things, can't find anything wrong. "Look, are you SURE it's got petrol in?". "Yes, look at the gauge, it's full right up to the red bit...". Fucksocks.
In my defence, my old car fuel gauge was empty on the left, full on the right. My new car (and the only car I've ever owned or even seen that did this) was full on the LEFT and empty on the right.

On my old Transitsthe closer the needles on the fuel/temp gauges were to each other, the better. I also used to check the handbrake was off while driving by kicking it. Happy days.
