5 minutes before I was due on the tee at Turnberry this afternoon, tells me she accidently put £40 of petrol into our Audi Q3 TDI, and drove a few miles before she heard a funny noise coming from the engine.
But I've not to worry because she's already phoned the Green flag recovery people and they're on their way.
WTF tell me now, she knows I'm 50 miles away and I can't get back anytime soon and I'm about to tee off on one of my bucket list courses.
That my excuse for playing crap today ;) Move to the Random Irritations thread, please

She did it coz she doesn't like the amount of time you spend on the golf course ;). She'll say all the right things like 'you go and enjoy yourself' etc but deep down you know she resents it. Expensive way to make a point :poop:. Hope it didn't turn out too bad, and hope you enjoyed yourself.

Don't you worry mate, after all it was her own car, but there will be a few choice remarks coming her way, like " diesel do nicely darling " and ok Pet--rol. :love: .Anymore ideas guys (y)
 
My wife does the same, not filling the car with the wrong fuel but the call when you can do nothing. Her favourite is when I'm abroad with work. If you can't help them why make someone worry?
 
Hahahahaha...... mine is the same. Phone calls about anything and everything. "Just to let you know I've locked myself out of the house but I've got the spare key from next door." Thank god for voicemail. If I'm doing something I enjoy I'll let VM take the call, listen to it and then ring her if its urgent.
 
Someone I once knew, I won't say pal. His wife rang him four times before the fourth hole asking him what he wanted for his dinner when he had finished golf. He thought it was amusing his other two PP said " if that phone rings again it will be buried in the nearest bunker with him" he thought that was even more amusing. They never played with him again and he wondered why. Gotta give her credit for not ringing you on the course 😂 Before you had teed off
 
Mine not yet my wife till next year but already does this, rang me the other week when I was away in Derby for work to tell me that our kettle had packed in, my answer "go buy a new one"
 
But don't worry about the car! Just the cost of recovery (if any) and of draining the fuel tank and replacing it with diesel

It would have been a disaster the other way around though, I believe Diesel nozzles are larger than Petrol ones, so the nozzle won't fit into the car.
 
Back in the late 1980s, a well-known professional footballer filled his car with diesel near Paris because he thought "Diesele" was French for petrol.
He called in every favour going not to have his name put to that story.

except now cos you are going to name and shame.(y)(y)
 
Mine is the opposite. I was in China last time we got burgled. I didn't find out til I got home, and asked why the window was boarded over.
 
I got a call last week after West Hill asking how to plug the sky q box in?

Why? It’s all set up?
I moved the furniture around and I took out the wires and now there’s no picture. Can you FaceTime me to show me how?

Aaaaarrrrgggghh

Didn't realise you were there Friday. I played Friday morning and the place was in superb nick and the course was probably playing as easy as it can (not that my score was any indication of that.
 
The car is now running ok, so except for her losing £40 worth of petrol plus another £40 to refill with diesel plus about 4 hours of her life waiting for the recovery people then the actual repair :). Everything is back to normal, she called me again yesterday for no particular reason, knowing I was watching the football on tv. o_O:LOL:

She's very lucky, apparently doing this to diesel engines can cause a lot of damage.
