So back before I knew anything about cars, my first car was a 03 Camry V6. I was once asked by a soccer Mom in a parking lot to help jump her car. I told her I'd never done it before but that I would do my best. I got the owner's manual and followed the instructions, it warned not to remove/attach a particular end of the cable at one point, warning that it could cause an explosion... She kept telling me this wasn't true, and when I told her I'm sorry I'm not going to do exactly what this says not to do, she grabbed the cables and told me to fuck off. A 40 something year old woman told 16 year old me to fuck off. I felt horrible for months after.

Was I really so wrong without knowing better to follow the manual? Anyways, poast moar fuckups either from you or others, with or without car know-how

She asked you for help and then told you to fuck off? Sounds like a bitch who wants to wait for a tow truck.

Don't offer to jump peoples' cars, half the time it's a scam. Either they want you to "cause damage to their vehicle" and then give them a few hundred outside of insurance, or the car is a fucking shitpile and the battery isn't the problem and you're wasting time.

If your car dies and you can't push start it, you deserve to be stuck.Or you can call your autoclub and have them boost you, or call a friend for the same. But don't be putting that on strangers, that's a nigger thing to do.

And if you're novice at something, always follow the written instructions. And if there are no instructions, assume you're better off blindfolded with clubhands than you are listening to a 40-something soccer mom who let her battery die. Stupid hussy.

>>16709458
no you did right. many people are hateful. your biggest mistake was agreeing to help someone. lesson learned i hope.


>explode
you have to charge the battery incorrectly for a while before this would happen and many batteries will vent off before they pop

just a fyi

You are a disappointment. I bet he regretted not aborting you.

legally, the manual has to say that. Most people just connect the negative end anyways. The concern is setting off hydrogen gas -> boom. I had a batter that would not fucking jump unless the negative was connected, but most people do not connect the negative end and instead ground it to some metal on the car. You did fine, people are just terrible
>tfw some older black guy blew his tire at a gas station
>was asking where to buy tires nearby
>asks to borrow a jack and if I could drive'em to get a tire
>was like why not
>ends up paying me $50 for my time and helping him out since a tow would have been $180 + his tire cost
Tried to turn down the money since I've had a lot of car trouble before and it's not like I had shit to do that day, but hey $50 is $50.

nice, well thanks guys, I feel a bit better now. I think what it was now was that it was saying to first attach black to frame of car, and then attach to battery, but she wanted to take the things from me and do it herself, and I was like "no I'm sorry you're not touching my car, I want to help but it says to do it this way and you're refusing to let me do it the way it says"
>>
>>16709697
actually most people do it her way. but if a woman was so familiar with how to jump her car its a little odd. but its correct just to clamp it so some bolt next to the frame or the frame. actually its a good way to make sure all connections are working that you see that little spark when you connect to the frame.

What type of fucked up place do you live where people asking for boosts is a scam?
>>
i was boosting my motorcycle from my own car and some retard came over telling me how to do it (wrong) as if i hadn't done it a million times correctly

i didn't tell him to fuck off in so many words
