Default Blinker fluid....

:Story of the day: old but still funny

Ok, i have this friend who drives a H3. Hes the kind of kid who tries really hard to fit in but we just make fun of him anyway. So my two other friends (04 GTO and a turbo blazer) and I convinced him that his 'blinker fluid' was dangerously low while he was getting his oil changed. He began to get really paranoid..."Are you serious...is that covered by warranty" "Dude how much does blinker fluid cost". We let him go on like this for a good 10-15 mins until we couldnt hold it in any longer. Hes NEVER gonna live that one down.

I guess that you kinda had to be there but i figured that some of you would get a kick out of it.

I work at a parts store and we had this girl who transfered from another store. She was a bitch to the rest of us and she was car ignorant. One of our regular customers has her looking up the specific blinker fluid for his car, muffler bearings, with the high temp bearing grease, and my personal favorite, was he wanted a level bubble, but just a single, not a three pack. we let it go on for 15-20 mins before we finally clued her in.

We convinced a friend of mine that hers was low too. She ended up going to Wal Mart and asking for it, classic.

He may want to check his ***** magnet too. Those things get de-polarized over time.

Several years ago I sent the then company dong to the hardware store for a 24/32 diameter drill bit. The gal at the hardware store told him she didn't have that size. Took him twenty minutes looking at the drill size chart to figure out its really 3/4" in lowest fractional terms. He found the 23/32 and then the 25/32 and in between was the 3/4, he threw it at me when he got back. LOL
