need an eye-rolling icon

Note to future self.  When you've got a trivial problem with your car (eg, indicator is not working^[1]) do not tentatively ring the AA's "general information" line, as they will be generally unconcerned and unhelpful.  Instead, go straight for the "emergency breakdown service" number.  If they can't help you they'll direct you elsewhere, but chances are it's covered.

Advertisements to the contrary it is not an actual emergency service and you are not taking valuable aid away from people who need it; it is something you have bought and paid for and you're damn well entitled to it.

You rang the AA because your indicator doesn't work? You're such a girl!

In fairness, I changed the bulb first. I only called them when it still didn't work...

You'd better not post a translation of the latin joke. People who don't understand latin should go and get a better education.

do you mean an expensive education? or a better one?
