I went to a non start (she'd left interior light on and flattened battery) and when I'm under the bonnet I have a quick look round.. No water in header tank, oil cap had huge build up of crusty oil clinging on & oil just touching bottom of the dipstick. Then she starts moaning about hating cars and it's been fine but now it's now letting her down.

I asked when she last had it serviced, she just looked at me blankly and said..
"well, I've never serviced it since I've had it".
"Ok, and how long have you had it?" I ask..
"Eight years" she replies!

It's not just women though, I'd say the majority of people neglect their cars. They tend to fix rather than maintain. But it does annoy me when people rant about how unreliable their car is because it's let them down when it's due to their negligence.

My ex is just as bad, moans about consumables like tyres and brakes as if the car is trying to purposely bankrupt her lol
