I just got back from the local tire shop. They've always been friendly, know all of our cars on sight, and the manager always comes out to meet me when I pull up. Today, there were some younger kids working in the shop, who, apparently don't appreciate a work in progress classic car.
I was sitting facing the window looking in so I could see what they were doing to my car (goes back to the overprotective "parent" bit.) and I watched the kid walk up to my car, giggle, shake his head, and walk back and hand what I presume was the newbie the keys.
Kid: You drive it! It's your turn!
Newbie: Bah! No! You drive it!
Kid: Hell no!
Newbie: Fine!
The newbie got into the car after yelling at him for making her drive the car, all of which I heard from my seat.
Not necessarily sucky, but annoying nevertheless.
I got my revenge when she hit the brakes the first time, however. I've always gotten a kick out of people expecting modern power brakes and getting that really touchy early power brake reaction (IE - the car stops dead as if it hit a wall, and the brake pedal shows no resistance to your foot) Look on the mechanic's face is hilarious every time.
