I used to work in a coffee house, and this customer came in. She told me that she had this one drink at this place and she didn't remember what it was. That should have been a red flag. I asked her if the drink was hot and she said no. So, I asked her if the drink had ice in it and she said no. I then asked her if the drink was blended and she said no.
There's no other way to have a drink!
Eventually, I found out the drink was hot.

I was driving on the freeway and this chick in an old minivan was slamming the pedal to the metal, swerving in to lanes and making people honk their horns. She cut off the person next to me and nearly came in to my lane. As she zoomed ahead of me, I noticed her bumper sticker said something like “make peace”.
Kinda ironic, huh?

So, I really don't know anything about cars. Or I didn't. I do now.
I bought an old Volkswagen Beetle and I've had to learn! I was trying to adjust the points (two pieces of metal and a spring) in my bug's engine. I pulled the distributor cap off and couldn't find the points. I looked at pictures in my books that showed the distributor and the points right underneath the cap. I tried turning the engine over with a wrench, which supposedly allowed me to see the points move. Nothing moved. I unscrewed this box with wires that said “compu” on it that I thought was the condenser or something and I took the rest of the distributor apart. No points.
I was fed up and I put the distributor back together and drove to a friends house. Turns out I have electronic ignition, no points, and that box was my computer timing device. Oops! Knowing that would have saved me a 2 hours!
