The Air Conditioning
I didn’t tell you about what happened at the mechanic’s place the other day when I took my car in because of the heated air conditioning.
Mario, the mechanic wasn’t there at 8:00 a.m., however, one of his employees was. And this guy was the stereotypical mechanic who must think that women don’t know their asses from a hole in the ground.
I told the guy that the day before the air conditioning had been working fine, and that after I’d turned it off and then turned it on again later, it was blowing heat instead of cold.
The guy looked at me and said, “well that’s a little strange, isn’t it? One minute it’s cold, and then the next it’s hot? How could that happen? Did you turn it on the right spot? Did you put it on heat by accident? Maybe you had it in the wrong spot.”
Can you believe that? The guy asked me if I turned on the heat. Like I don’t know the difference in turning on the air or putting the heater on. Oh, no wonder it’s hot *duh*, I turned the heater on. Fucking asshole. He then went on again about just how strange it was, all the time giving me some pitying little smile, almost as if he was patting me on the head for being “special”.
So then I told him that, yes it was strange, no I had it on the air conditioning and I’d turn it to all different levels and tried the max air, and when I’d brought the car in the night before, Mario had a look at it and thought that the compressor wasn’t kicking in.
“Oh, so Mario had a look at it, then? Ok, pull up over there at the third bay.” The only time he took me seriously.
So I pulled up and waited. The air conditioning happened to be working again, of course. He came over, had a look after telling me to pop the hood, and determined that there was no problem.
And he said that they couldn’t tell what was wrong unless it stopped working right again.
So I drove off to work with a recurring memory of what a fucking asshole this guy was. Smirk this, buddy. Yes, it is a strange occurrence, but then so is the fact that you’ve got permanent employment as a mechanic.
Big dorkhead ← and I mean that in ‘technical terms’.
