Garage
One of the chicks I used to work with stopped to get gas at a local service station and had the attendant pump in the gas because she did not want to risk breaking a nail. The attendant figured out right away she was clueless. He pointed at the exhaust pipe and told her to pay attention to the exhaust tip as he worked the throttle and of course water was coming out.

He told he she would need to replace her entire exhaust system because it was waterlogged, and he fuel system was contaminated with water. She was in a panic, but already late for work so she said she would have to come back.

She was crying when she came in to work. I asked what was wrong and she told me about the water. I assured her that mechanic was a lying jerk, and all cars dribble water as part of the combustion process and her car is fine.

She called her boyfriend, who was a large very fit man. He went to talk to the mechanic and explained that trying to rip off his girlfriend was not nice.
