The wife has an Audi A6 bi-turbo which she has to add in oil every now and then just like our 996TT's. I've shown her on many occasions how to add in oil to her car. I even have a stack of funnels, paper towels, and oil for her car in one corner of the garage.

So this past weekend her low oil light comes on, so she goes to add the oil which she had done before. Later the next day she tells me that her car was leaking oil and showed me several huge oil puddles and a trail of oil all the way down the paver stones on our driveway.

I asked her how the heck she made such an enormous mess. She said that he funnel was too big for the oil spout, so it spilled all over. I was thinking, WTF is she talking about because the funnel spout is only 1/2inch wide. I had her show me what she did.

She proceeded to pull out the dip stick and tried to pour oil in via the dip stick tube!!! She had basically poured an entire quart of Mobil1 oil onto the dip stick tube, where 99% of it ended up on the driveway! I was in a state of shock, anger over the damage she caused to the driveway, and laughing my *** off over what she did. Am I the only one who's spouse (wife or husband) had done something totally ridiculous to the car?

Unfortunately oil cleaners didn't work, so now I have to replace a ton of stones in my paver driveway. That's going to cost me...
