Mechanics!
In particular, the kind who make sucking noises through their teeth whilst assessing the work that needs to be done. The ones who think that, because I happen to have been born in possession of some ladyparts, I must know absolutely nothing about cars, and therefore that they'll be able to get away with adding a little bit of headlight fluid to the invoice...

Mechanics
I'm not a mechanic but I employ some. We happen to be honest so won't try and con you but I do have a hate too. Customers!

People who don't know anything about cars are fine.

The problem ones are people (normally men) who think they are god's gift to cars and try and tell us what is wrong and how to mend it.

If we took their advice we would normally end up 'repairing' the wrong thing.

If we don't take their advice we are trying to con them!

We can't win sometimes and I hate dealing with them.

Rant over. Sorry.

Length? About 48 mpg.
