Hey look, there's a new icon thingy lighting up on my dash. I have no idea what it's for, so I'm not going to worry about it.

Jay, something popped up on my car and my friend told me I should tell you about it.
Oh? What is that?
I dunno. Some kind of red thingy next to the thingy that tells me how fast I am going.
Hmm....
[It was her check engine light.]
How long has this been on?
I dunno... Maybe since, like, umm, I dunno.
Come on, try harder.
Oh, I was on when we went to the beach!
OK, that was three weeks ago. You really should tell me these things as soon as they come on.
[Turns out she is low on oil.]
OK, I put some oil in it. Next time tell me right when it happens, OK?
OK!
[ring][ring] Hello?
Jay, the red light came on again.
Really? The same one?
No! This one is different!
OK, does it have a name?
Yeah, it says break.
OK... Are you parked right now?
Uh huh!
And are you on a hill or anything like that?
Yup!
Did you put on your emergency break?
Yeah...
OK, put your foot on the petal and release the emergency break and tell me if it goes off.
[done as requested] Yeah, its off. Should I just leave the emergency break off then?
No, that light is just letting you know it is on so you don't drive around with it engaged. It is supposed to come on.
Oh, OK! Bye!
This is my usual day when it comes to her...
If we are at a restaurant and the waitress asks her, Do you want that small or large? She will say medium even though it wasn't an option.
