Auto-Mechanical Malpractice

Funny thing happened at the Mobil Quik-Lube. Upon having my oil flushed and replaced (high-mileage for those who were concerned), the mechanic came up to my window and proceeded to hand me a dirty screwdriver. "Sorry, but Chanukah ain't till November" I say to the dude. He says, "We found this under your hood and assumed it was yours. "Well, sorry to burst your bubble. I'm a female and do you actually think I look under my hood that often (stupid of me, of course)." I told the guy it was probably from the last person who changed my oil at this place. I told him to keep it. Upon thanking me for the gift, the manager of the station comes up to my window and apologizes for the problem (G-d forbid it could have gotten caught somewhere in the engine possibly allowing my car to go up into a firy blaze) and gives me a $5 discount on the oil change. Talk about a strange situation. I almost compare it to those Dateline NBC stories where a dude gets a clamp left inside of him after a surgery. Oy.
