And THIS is why tigers eat their young.
TM is on the way to the beach with her roommates. The car, (not hers) is overheating, so they had the good sense to pull over and shut it off.

They thought they could just open the radiator and add water. Before it cooled off.

I may throw up.


Thank God for AAA. :eyes:

3. If they even managed to get the radiator cap off?
I could imagine one of the idiots peering into the radiator as it spewed like a fucking volcano.

AAA--- on its way. Thank God. They're about 3 hours away.

My husband is freaking out.

7. Oh wow,
Years ago I did the same thing when the car was still hot (it wasn't overheating) thought I could open the cap with an oven mitt and put in water...well BAM, off came the cap and hot water gushing. Good thing it didn't burn me though, I knocked me down XD.

She's been TM in the lounge for a couple of years now. Sorry. I should have been more explicit.

23. My babysitter killed my Dad's Saab that way.
Note to parents: if you should happen to have two small kids and an expensive imported car, do not entrust the three to a stoned teenager who will load the car up with teenagers and drive to another county to go buy some weed.
