A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Oh, Gud. Oh, dear, dear Gud.
Your DW needs a serious cluesticking, and I live real fucking close.

Because books.
I'm just frustrated and worried because I don't know if it's a real problem or not.
If it's the emergency/parking brake, you can actually drive for a while with it on. You just have to disengage the thing. And as far as I know, that's the only time the brake light comes on, isn't it?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
And as far as I know, that's the only time the brake light comes on, isn't it?
Modern cars have two separate hydraulic brake systems. If one fails, the brake light should come on. The brakes will still work, but not as well.
eta: The parking brake is a separate, cable-activated brake system that only brakes the rear wheels.

Oh. Oops. I guess I should know that, huh?

I offered to come out, but then she said I didn't have any good ideas and hung up on me before I could ask if the parking break may be up a little.
This is not the first time I've wanted to take a large, heavy cluestick to her.
Poor Raq and Mallory. What a dreadful day.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, Raq. I'm so sorry you had to go through all that.
And also Gud. I hope your wife and the car are both okay. What a distressing phone call.

Oh, Raq. That does sound like a horrible day. I'd loan you mine, but it's covered in words like "meeting" "cover for D." "cover for K." and "write letters to ..." {{{}}} (Although, at the end of the day, there is a wonderful word -- "ashtanga.")
Gud, if something is seriously wrong she won't continue driving the car. She may be mad at you, but that doesn't mean all common sense has gone out the car window. Is there a friend you can call, to ask to call her and ask how things are, in case she's screening your calls in particular?

Oi, Raq, Gud.... Yeesh. Sorry about the bad days.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Sorry about the bad days, ya'll. It will get better.
Why do the older, sort-of skeevy guys always identify me as people to talk to? This is my second day of work, and the guy with the mullet and the oddly-shaped eyebrows who has the general air of the perpetual bachelor who does not leave his hole has made a point of talking to me four times over the last two days? He seems like a nice enough guy, but I just want to be as unobtrusive as possible, and get through to August 20 quickly.
