Right, so the Check Engine Light Of Dooooom came on in my car as I was driving home from work today. Like a Good and Responsible Adult I took it right in to the service station. They identified the problem pretty quickly:

I'd left my gas cap off.

In my defense? The Check Engine Light of Dooooom came on about a week ago because something had come loose after an oil change. And I last got gas Monday -- how was I suppose to connect the two events?!

I'm pretty sure the mechanics think I'm not quite right in the head now. I could see the pity in their eyes.

Such is my life.

Poor thing! We can't all have the same gifts. I know nothing about cars whatsoever. I can't even put gas in the car myself... I don't even really know what a gas cap is... I am assuming it is the little think you unscrew to put the gas in? *shrugs* The nice boys at the service station used to do all the stuff for me (when I had a car).

I really don't either. I keep meaning to learn because it seems like it would be a really useful thing to know. I'm vaguely familiar with the theory behind changing a tire, but I've never had to do it.

Yep.

I'm pretty much car-disabled, too.

,It's tragic. And I'm normally so competent. Oh wait. No, I'm not.
