Got in my cart, put it in reverse, stepped on the gas, nada. Tried going forward a little, zilch. Sat there a few seconds, tried again. Still wouldn't move. Called my mechanic almost in tears. Said he'd be right over. Stared at cart. Well, to be honest glared at cart. Immediately called mechanic and said never mind, I fixed the problem. Turned the key in ignition to on position and went on my merry but decidedly embarrassed way.

Once upon a time my young children had bunch of friends over and they were having a great time playing games and such in our basement. I ordered a couple of pizzas and ran out to our neighborhood place to pick them up. The owner was the epitome of the Soup Nazi, having a well known reputation for surliness. He barked at me that no such order was called in. Not to be deterred and desperate to feed a boat load of kids I held my ground. The pizzas were produced the kids ate and enjoyed. I taxied some of the kids home when the time came and upon arriving back at our house my husband casually mentioned that a chain pizza store called and wanted to know when I was going to pick up my pizza order. I didn't do this once to the neighborhood pizza guy I did this twice! The second time he was in a better humor (knowing this lady is a dingbat we'll just do the order). After the second time I would have my son go in to the place and pick up our pizzas. I'm sure he had a picture of me in the back kitchen.

On my first car I thought I would surprise my Dad and do an oil change all by myself. I had seen him do it many times in the past and it looked easy. I had an hour before he got home from work so I had plenty of time. I drained the old oil with no problem, sealed it back up, opened the 4 cans of oil. The rest would be easy. Anyway, 45 minutes later Dad pulls up and my head is still under the hood. He takes one look at what I'm doing and busts out laughing. I had been adding the new oil drop by drop through the dipstick. Boy was I embarrassed when he showed me where it was supposed to go.

One hot summer in New Hampshire I was home for a few weeks and my son let me have his Camry while I was home. He was a mechanic and had an old truck to get him back and forth to work. One hot morning, I get in the car and turn the key in the ignition. Then I start to set up the air conditioner and other buttons and panic. I can't remember all that was wrong but I remember the air conditioner would only blow hot air. I was in a panic because it was my son's car and I thought I already broke it on him. I sat in the car crying and called my son at work. When I told him what was happening and all the things not working, he said to me, "is it on"? To test, I stepped on the gas, and nothing... Evidently, when I turned the ignition on, I didn't hold it long enough and I didn't realize that the engine never turned over, so it was only on accessories. To this day, he has not let me live that down.

Did similar thing but only 150 miles round trip. One week early, so had to repeat the trip next week.

This photo is documentation of the stupidest thing I have ever done...I know it was 1974 but really, Daisy Dukes?

In 1972 I was in the Army stationed in Savannah, Georgia. I was driving my roomate's car, a 1970 orange Z-28 Camaro. We had stopped by a few of our local hangouts and it was a pretty quiet scene. We decided to hit Brunswick, which we had not done before. It was 60 miles south on I-95, I won't tell you how fast we were going, but I got to the Brunswick exit in 40 minutes.

You obviously have many qualities that overcame a minor error with a tomato. But I do have to say I wish that scene was available on YouTube. LOL.
