Taking things too literally and refusing to ask.
Earlier today I had a driving class. Near the end, my driving instructor told me to park the car and change the gear to neutral. She left after that to check on her other student. Nothing more. So I simply left the car on neutral and got off, believing she'll drive the same car with other student shortly after. I didn't turn off the engine.
Later when I got back home, she texted me, asking if I had left the car on. I said yes. She replied saying I shouldn't have done that with stressed tone. I wonder if something happened after I left (pretty sure something did lolðŸ˜).
I know I should've asked first before leaving the car but I didn't think of it that time. My brain was empty the whole class, if that made sense. Hopefully nothing too bad happened.
Also, does anyone else put the seatbelt strap behind their back too? The one that you're supposed to put above your chest. I don't like feeling it rub against my chest so I usually slip it behind. Nobody really pointed it out before until recently. I got self conscious and started to wear it normally nowadays.
That's all. Just felt like sharing this embarrassing and stupid story. Thanks for reading lol. Feel free to judge in the comment ðŸ˜.
