well and truly under way


here we see the lesser spotted spastic, for reasons we have never been able to work out, feels the need to go for a little drive while inside the carwash hall,

the lesser spotted spazmo usually just goes for a drive in a straight line, but today we found an exceptional example, that likes to live life on the edge and play with the steering wheel as well

the spazmo usually (and indeed did in this case) claim that the car wash machine caused her to start the car up and crash saying that her car was switched off, she was not in gear and her brakes were off.

you should have seen her face when i brought her into the office and gave her a copy of the cctv footage = pmsl

she went from "its your fault!!" to "ohh god im having a bad day, where is the nearest bodyshop" PMSL

she smashed the front wing in quite bad and broke the wing mirror :roll:

this happens at least once per week during the winter season to be honest, i have not been able to upload the videos to show some of the stupidness as the dvr program has a strange file name.

but today i found a workaround to get the videos uploaded to youtube

will probably update with more when they happen

Now, how did I KNOW, even before getting to the relevant words in your post, Sticky, that this was going to turn out to be a lass?

That really IS stupid!
Is that an ARC carwash (or whatever they are called)?

Always used them in Bristol but none down here. Always do a fine job.

I can understand somewho tries to steer: on some cars it does pull the steering wheel around quite alot so you are tempted to correct it by holding on (seeing its pointing towards the wall, and you want to go straight ).

But this muppet? WTF

I bet it was an automatic too

StickyMicky

i couldn't name the name for various reasons

but this kind of muppetness used to be a major ball ache, which is why i fitted 8 cameras up around the site to help with the knobbers who crash and then try to claim from my insurance

it happens all the time, the camera system has saved me a small fortune so far in covering our backs.

one time (in band camp pmsl) this bloke crashed into somebody else and then tried to blame us, only i could prove that the track and roller was no where near his car, so how did he shoot forwards? he told me the wash MUST have done it so i told him it was probably the car wash monster that lives under the track, and he better **** off before it comes back out and eats him for lunch

Class! lmao Always wondered where the scratches on the walls and stuff inside the car wash came from!

StickyMicky

if you have the brakes on, or the car is left in gear/key removed from ignition it will turn the wheel to one side, usually to the left, if the car is free moving it will turn a little side to side, but is impossible for it to move enough to cause the car to physically drive over the track.

I've been in car washes a couple of times when they have put a driverless car through.

The car behind (in one case mine) was being pushed closer and closer to the driverless car in front, until the sound of the horn woke up the operators.

This bint really did deserve to damage her car with her being such a biffa!

StickyMicky

cant really speak for other types

the wash should close down when the cars get to close anyway

they fire beams across the hall and they know where each vehicle is, any kind of problem with one beam getting closed for to long and it shuts down.

well mine does lol

they cant detect anybody actually driving while inside mind, as the beams are only situated at the entrance and exit (2 beams per entrance/exit)

doing it this way means it also knows how long the vehicle is so it knows how long to run the soap/wax for

maybe the site you were at had disconnected the rear beams ? (maybe they never had any?)

scarey

can remember working with a dizzy blonde quite a few years ago, she came back from lunch break looking very unhappy.
She had taken her car to a car wash and at last moment remembered her ariel was up. She jumped out to lower the ariel, did so, turned round and it had taken her door off.
She was upset because she couldnt understand why all the staff "were laughing at me"
