True colours

Pseudonymph tells of black and white thinking. The next day Idiot Girl proves she works the same way.

Idiot Girl takes her long suffering car for the annual MOT test. This is supposed to detect if things are worn out to the extent of being dangerous. She comes back with a pass, but with advisories. This means (usually) something is 95% worn out, and will not last 12 months to the next test. Smart party members investigate and fix the advisories.

Idiot Girl is black and white. Pass means 100% safe brilliant car, fail means death trap. So as it's a pass, insert fingers in ears and go la la la can't hear you!

Her advisories where:
Rear brakes have an efficiency of 52%
Parking brake has an efficiency of 16%

Totally safe to ignore them then. Who needs brakes anyway? And you can carry a brick around to fix the 2nd one....

You know Idiot Girl is going to do nothing, as you point out the potential result of wall / car interface. Oh yeah, I'll get it fixed. Just not this month 'cos I'm sooooo busy. My diary is overflowing and I don't have a second spare.

Er, you're off work Two days next week... Yeah, but I've got 'stuff' to do.. you know, STUFF.

~sigh~ Makes note not to go anywhere near her car...

Lazy blog has to be poor dead Eva Cassidy's cover of true colours:

Hey, stuff is important! Not quite as important as things, but stuff and things make the world go round.

p.s. I think Eva Cassidy made sting sound like a bit of a dud with this tune
