You got a cute clumsy Gf! It's not really a FML
Not the brightest bulb in the shed, but the idea was nice enough to give your relationship a jump-start, no?
...unless he ended up stranded at work late because of it and she later freaked out thinking he was cheating? 0.o
Well communications key, you should really shed some light on this topic next time you see her, so maybe she might note to herself not to do the same mistake twice.
People never keep spares? Oh well, what do I know about these things :(
1, I believe you combined the two phrases, brightest bulb in the box, and sharpest tool in the shed.
You know, car puns drive me crazy. :P
I'd hate to see a "Dear John" letter from her. I don't even want to think about what might happen then.
Meh. Nothing a quick jump-start to the engine can't fix. Your lucky she cares enough.
You jump start the battery, not the engine. There is nothing wrong with the engine once your battery dies. The battery simply doesn't have enough juice. The jumper cables are clipped to the battery and your car actually starts from the other car's voltage.
Surely the battery is a part of the engine... I don't see much wrong in saying 'jump-start the engine' / 'jump-start the car'. It means the exact same in my eyes.
It would because you probably don't know a thing about engines. A battery is part of the car's 12 volt electrical system. Totally separate from the engine, excluding that when the engine is running the alternator charges the battery.
Even I know the battery is different from the engine... And I know ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about vehicles... Except which pedal makes it go (; On a serious note... Please don't ever try to help someone jump start their car. You'd probably end up connecting it to the gas line or something.......
At least it was an accident and she didn't purposely leave your lights on and leave a hate letter.
Yea, lucky for him she didnt smash his headlights in and clog his exhaust pipe with dog poop and key his paintjob and train chimpanzees to slightly change the rearview mirrors' angles and jump through rings of fire whilst playing bop-it on stilts and backflip of a stack off of a giant house of cards onto a miniature trampoline attached to a cheetah's back... Where was I again?
Now she can be even cuter, by purchasing you a new car battery. Ah, young love is just so precious.
yep.. they run out of juice eventually. i had to replace mine once
It's true, once they run down too low they are sometimes unable to hold a charge.
At least you have a caring girlfriend, batteries are easy to replace, your girlfriend, might not be as easy to replace.
Are you talking the headlights or the inside lights? Because if it's the headlights, why did she turn them on in the first place if all she was doing was leaving a letter?
Exactly. The OP probably left them on without realising.
Forgive me for having no knowledge of cars as I'm not yet old enough to drive, but don't some cars require you to have the key in the ignition for any sort of power to work? Or am I wrong? >_
If she didn't have a key then how did she get into the car.
At least she wrote you a letter. Most people are lucky to get a text message.

Just don't hit her for her mistake! You'll definitely be charged with battery.
