Car warning lights are a mystery to me (I’m looking at you, cruise control indicator light!). Mostly because they only make sense if you already know what they’re telling you. Take this one:

*It’s a drop of something hitting something and evaporating, because something is overheating!

*It’s a reservoir of some sort that is empty!

*It’s something very important because there’s an exclamation point!

Of course, I now know that is the tire pressure warning light. (Much to my dismay.) This one is a particularly embarrassing light, since it’s perfectly possible for someone to fix this problem on their own, given some basic tools and knowledge. I don’t personally happen to have either of those things, so I called the garage. Car!spa appointment at 11, coming right up.

OMG That light! I will forever know what that light is due to a freakout when it happened in a rental car. XD You'd think tire preasure warning would somehow resemble a tire...

Right?! And when I looked it up online, responses ran the gamut from 'sometimes this light just comes on' and 'this could mean that your tire is about to explode.'
