Car Acting Out, Lol

It’s like your vehicle always knows when it’s the worst time to act up and does so accordingly. Yesterday, my left blinker went out for no good reason as I was coming home from McDonald’s after getting my little coffee and hash brown. The car made a little dingy noise and then the blinker started going really fast. I assumed the bulb went out but did the necessary testing to be sure. When I found out it was true, I proceeded to “have my mechanic swap it out.”

Things were fine for the rest of the day but then the car went into limp mode just as I was starting my day today. Two lights came on at the same time, and so I needed to drive it to the nearest local mechanic shop and have them run some diagnostic tests on it. The test came up with one or two possibilities, so the mechanic removed item number 1 to get a better look at it. He said it was dirty, but he also heard a rattling sound inside the actual device. He doesn’t think cleaning it will resolve the rattle because it sounds like loose parts. Thus, I’ll need to pay this kind man to replace faulty component number 1 and see if that does the trick.

Most newer car issues require a diagnostic process that involves computers and processes of elimination. Not everyone gets it right the first time. The computer is a guide, but one also has to have some mechanical knowledge and critical thinking abilities, I suppose.

The light situation was easy. This issue may not be as straightforward because there’s always a chance the car’s computer itself is acting up. Newer cars also have a bunch of sensors and things like that. So sometimes a problem occurs because some sensor isn’t giving the computer the right information, so the computer doesn’t turn on XYZ and then ABC doesn’t work, lmao.

We’ll see what happens. I’m actually quite calm. I went out for a while today, but like I said, the car took a poop. In the middle of that fiasco, I had a strange customer trying to accuse me of “being upset” and “acting a certain way.” Dude, I was simply speaking clearly so you could hear me over the HVAC, lol.

The GPS had taken me to the end of a building where the office was instead of the rear. So there was no name plate on that side of the building. Just the address, lol.

I was in the right place just the wrong end where there was no building name. The customer had not provided the name of the building either, so I didn’t actually know what facility I was looking for. The street number and address was all I had, and it showed that I was there. All I was doing was communicating with him so I could find him. I tried to get some help from some dudes in the parking lot, but they said they didn’t know the name of the building, either, yet they were there conducting business. Pfft.

Anyway, the man said he was “scared” of me because of the “way I was acting.” Huh?????

Okay, honey. Let’s just get you taken care of so you can have a nice day. I’m sorry for being so majorly intimidating that I can scare grown men with the sound of my voice, ha-ha-ha. Whatever.

This is the second time in the past two weeks I’ve been falsely accused of acting a way I wasn’t acting, both times by a person who was acting the exact way they were accusing me of acting, lolz. I’m sure there are recordings of these “intimidating conversations,” so I’m not too worried about them.

I am not upset about anything. Sorry, but that’s just not true.

I’m handling these issues and situations as they arise and thinking of solutions. That is all.

I’ll update if and when the mechanic works on the car.
