    Defrost it for MEEEEEE!!!!!!

    I went to fill up Klaus the car last night. The petrol station was rammed with people, probably something to do with the insanely high snowfall in England at the moment. My home town has been pretty much ok, but that could all change...

    Anyway, as I stood in queue to pay for my fuel, a woman strode to the front of the line. Strike 1.

    C: Cashier
    EW: duh

    EW: Why are there cones in front of the carwash?
    C: Um, because the carwash is closed. It's frozen.
    EW: What? Why?
    C: Because it's several degrees below freezing. several waiting customers giggle
    EW: But I need my car cleaned.
    C: Well it hasn't been usable for a couple of days now...
    EW: ...
    C: I have to serve these people. Next please.
    EW: Wait, I need my car cleaned.
    C: The jet wash is still working.
    EW: I can't use those.
    C: Well that's all I can suggest.
    EW: Can't you defrost it?
    C: Um... no. a bloke at the back of the line says 'I'll lend you a hairdryer!'
    EW: But... I need my car cleaned.
    C: Then use the jetwash. Please step out of the line, I need to serve these people.
    EW: Buuuh, I need my car cleaned!!!!

    Eventually she wandered off. What got me, was why the hell she would want her car cleaned, when the moment she drove off the water would freeze and she'd be driving a popsicle...

    I have to say that the amount of grit (rightfully) spread on the British roads at the moment can indeed cause damage to some mechanical parts (the exhaust pipe above all), but of course this risk is preferrable to a near certainty of ending up hugging the nearest tree while still in your vehicle.
    I *will* wash my car. As soon as the temperature goes above freezing for a couple of days on end (which will probably happen at some point in March, but that's not the point).

      Who washes their car in freezing weather? Then she'd want you to scrape off the ice on her car...lol.

        If we could just persuade her that the correct cleaning method is to lick her car...

          A lot more people then you think.

          When I worked at the 'Lounge, we had a car wash. The two(?) winters I worked there, I spent a LOT of time outside trying to beat the ice off the doors so people could wash their cars in the cold.



          Every once in a while, we'd close it down (-5º temps, anyone?), and the DM would roar in or call demanding to know why we had it shut down. He'd tell us to reopen it. The sad thing is, he used to be the manager of that particular gas station, so he knew what we were dealing with.
          I'm bringing disdain back...with a vengeance.

          Oh, and your tool box called...you got out again.

            As soon as she gets frozen out of her car, she will be back wanting you to unfreeze the door locks be cause of the water from the carwash.

              Funnier if she gets frozen *IN* to her car.

                I'll drive into town during a bad winter,my car'll be covered in mud & ice & inevitably someone'll say "Why don't you wash your car?"

                  The guy who mouthed off 'I'll lend you a hairdryer!' when she asked about defrosting the car wash just made that story all the more hilarious. XD

                    Gives "Defrosting the Ice Queen" a new meaning, doesn't it?
