Had a summer job as a lot attendant with a Honda delarship and things never went right for me. I was very ignorant at the time and showed up for the interview in a suit with the owner saying you don't need a suit to clean vehicles. He asks if I can drive standard and I said nope. Figured I lost the job but instead the owner assigned one of the salesman to teach me. By the end of the day I thought I had it mastered.
The morning after I was hired I walk into the showroom and I spot my boss with a huge smile on his face. He tosses me the keys to his car and asks that I take it up the road to get it filled with gas. I get in the car, start it up but for whatever reason I couldn't find reverse. A quick look in the rearview mirror and I see a crowd of people standing inside the showroom window watching. When I returned the secretary mentioned to me that the boss knew I wouldn't be able to find reverse quickly and the whole thing was set up as a gag. The laugh was on me.
This one time I had this Accord in the wash bay to get detailed for a customer. I'm drying it off when I decide I should get some tunes playing. I open the passenger door and reach over to turn the key to the on position. I had forgotten that I had left the car in gear and when the key turned the car lurched forward hitting the wall and doing some serious damage to the front end. Dealership lost the sale and I had to pay the deductable on the insurance, which I might add took a huge chunk out of my paycheck
I come in after lunch one day and the owner says he parked his Jaguar in the wash bay and wanted it detailed. After everything is done I get in and try to start the car, No matter how many times I turned the key it wouldn't turn over. Next thing I know the owner comes running into the wash bay screaming and asking me what WTF am I doing?! I roll down the window to hear the engine is running. It had such a quiet interior I couldn't hear if the engine had started
