, it's dark I'm tired. Grab o blue jug. Maybe beer was involved. Had to change out the oil. Once I changed the oil forgot to put in plug. All the clean oil just went thru to the catch pan. Sigh

At least you didn't run it...

When I was in school I was weekend manager of a car rental outlet and gas station. My boss hired the dumbest kid on the planet to pump gas.

Second day on the job, he poured gasoline into a guy's radiator. At least a gallon.

When I called the franchise owner at home to ask WTF I was supposed to do, he made me repeat what had happened. Three times.

The best part is that the kid pleaded for his job back and yes, it worked. A few weeks later we were robbed at closing time, at first it was assumed we had avoided an armed stickup because The Kid had left the bank deposit bag sitting on the counter in plain view and the thieves just grabbed it and went while we were super busy, no guns etc.

A few days later the story changed and the kid was arrested for having been part of the robbery.

After that we stuck to hiring friends or family of existing employees .

Had a cold snap in jasper tenn, had a 83 subaru and the radiator froze up. I got a few miles down the road and the temp gauge pegged and it was 5 degrees out.. I stopped at a closed paint and body place to find some water. On the side of the building I found some unfrozen water in a 5 gallon can. Not thinking why would this one can not be froze. Filled up the radiator. Turned out I poured a gallon of paint thinner or mineral spirits in radiator. Got to work on time. Subaru ran forever.
