Getting ready to go on a trip, I ask my wife"how many days do I need to pack for" , answer " what did I tell you the last time we discussed this". Why couldn't she just give me a number and get on with it. Ahhhh

They're all about the same, Ted. My favorite is when I ask "Have you seen my (whatever)" and I get "Where did you leave it?" If I knew where I wouldn't be asking, DUH.

I would just look in the trunk and back seat. Then I knew.

Since I do not like traveling most of the time I get few games like this. She knows I will pack nothing and stay home. LOL

Best trip advise I ever received was, "pack light and carry cash"

I will admit my wife solved a problem for me when I was a GM Assistant Service Manager. I had a lady customer who insisted the cruise control didn't work in her car. I'd take it out and check it, and it would work fine. Then she'd be back saying it didn't work. After that went on four or five times, I mentioned my frustration to my wife when I went home for lunch.

My wife asked, "Does she ride the brake?" Duh!! Lights came on all over the place.

Next time the lady came in insisting the cruise didn't work, we went for a drive with her driving. Sure enough, she let her foot drag on the brake pedal just enough to disengage the cruise. I pointed it out to her. I don't know if she changed her habits, but I never saw her again.

Always let the customer drive. Buddy worked a dealership and old man came in with newer car. About two months of ownership. "Every time I make a right turn, I get a horrible screeching noise." Everybody in the shop drove the car from slow turns to full broadsides. No noise. Customer came back several times. Never found the noise.
Finally my buddy let the customer drive the car. First good right turn and sure enough there was a very loud and disturbing screeching noise. My buddy then asked the customer to remove the hearing aid from his left ear.
It seems the right turn make him lean left in the seat and got feedback from the window making the noise. No more broadside test drives for the shop.

Noise in the trunk? Remove the bowling ball.
Not enough power going up hill? Take out the 2 yards of dirt from the trunk.
Car gobbles like a turkey in the morning? Air in the cooling system going through the heater core.

Reminds me of the couple that got to their hotel only to find the bag containing their underdrawers was lost. What to do? Clerk says "we have a boutique down stairs. Pick out what you want." Wife says "great I'll take seven sets. You know...mon. tues. weds etc." Husband not be outdone says " I'll take twelve sets. You know...jan. feb.Mar.etc."

Dumb azz people, did a valve job on a 68 Impala, woman called next morning hot, car wouldn't do anything. Boss sends me to the old girls house, old red head crazy looking woman gets behind the wheel to demonstrate, nothing, reach over and stick it in park for her and schazam it starts. Thirty mile round trip for nothing, been on many.
Another was an old guy bought a new Chevelle and could rarely turn the switch in the column. I could never find anything wrong but replaced a bunch of parts in the column and then the whole column and he still couldn't turn the key half the time so the boss sends me to watch the guy try to start it. Turns out he parks it down hill on the street and rams the wheels into the curb, then just shakes for five minutes trying to stab the key in the switch and expects the key to turn without yanking on the steering wheel. Glad I'm done with that, was constant mass confusion.

We sold a new Chevy minivan to a lady once. She was back about a week later, livid about a rattle in the floor.

We ran it into the shop and found a jar of pickles rolling around under the passenger seat.

I always pack 1/3 of what the wife does and still bring some clothes home without wearing them.
