Me, pulling up to my daughter’s school next to a guy getting into his new-ish Chevy: I like your truck. It looks damn nice.
Chevy Man: Thanks. *smiles*.
Chevy Man then turns the key in the ignition and the engine sputters/refuses to turn over for ten seconds. Chevy Man stops trying.
Chevy Man just sits there, doesn’t try to start the truck again until I had walked into the building.
It still was a nice-LOOKING truck.

Why are you swearing at your daughter’s school?

Like a rock. A big rock. That never moves.

This is a car anyway, not a truck.

Have you heard middle schoolers’ language these days? If I had added “motherfucker” to my sentence, it still would have been comparatively nicer.

Chevy; Uhh uhh, buddy. You ain’t sliding into them DMs this time. No more of that. *died*
Chevy guy; Truckblocked? Again? Goddamnit...

I’ve definitely done the “the car isn’t broken down... I’m just checking my phone” maneuver before.

Then again I’ve also hot-wired a dune buggy in a busy Target parking lot so....

It now comes in half ton form!

I’m actually the opposite. I’ll get out and start cussing at it.

I so wish I could swear back at them. If I ever win the lottery (I guess I’d have to play it to win it, whatever), I will not quit my job. Instead I will be fired for swearing at them.

hahaha fucking hell, I’m not even creative with profanity and these kids out here are making an art of it!

Hah, always happends at the worst of times. I was at a highway reststop with my sis, get in, turn the key, nothing. not even a slight dimming of anything to signal any power drain, just no action. Well then, some banging at the starter+solenoid later to see if that’s the issue i use one of the jumper cables to jump the solenoid with the constant live on the starter and it fires up.
All while some 2-3 people were standing at the next car over looking really confused...

They’ll cuss at you with words that you’ve never heard before, but know that it’s a cuss word.

Most annoying thing is it hasn’t happend since(a few months) so no chance to try and diagnose it. But yeah, shit happends, gotta just work your way out of it.

Sometimes, it’s just the proverbial “gremlin”. It comes out, does something, then hides until it wants to do it again.
