My friend who works from home asked me last summer to watch his girls so they wouldn't freak out with cabin fever or something before the week was out. So I spent the night (since I don't have a car it was the only reasonable answer) and the next day at lunch I decided to take the kids to McDonalds. Well I live in a place where standars aren't standard if you don't get it it means if you drive a car with a stick I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DRIVE ONE! So anyway they didn't have a standard but they are used to having one so they always leave the parking break on since its nothing I'm used to I didn't check for it but instead drove the car 10 minutes down the street with it on. I thought the car was driving funny but b/c it was a car I wasn't used to I didn't think about it till one of the kids pointed out when we got to McDonalds the break was on. I immediately told them it wasn't on except when we stopped at the light then realizing the kid meant the parking break I started laughing b/c a 4 year old knew more about cars then I did.
so not such a funny story this time but still just as humiliating and my friends call me the Breaker now
