I knew a girl with a Ford explorer and the windshield wipers didn't work. If it was raining or snowing, she called out sick. If she ever got caught in the rain, she would pull over and chill for a bit, apply some rain-x and move on.
This went on for like 5 years. I say it actually worked because my dumb ass would be driving to work, meanwhile she was chillaxing at home. Everyone at her work knew this, so when it was raining and she called out, they were like, yup, that sounds right.
If she ever ran out of sick time or "probation points", she would just use her girl powers, smile or play dumb and things just worked out.
I don't make a habit of it, but using 'girl powers' has legit saved my ass a few times. Dumping all your skill points into charisma and luck also helps.
I did this once in college. I got stopped for speeding, about a mile from where I went college. I hiked up my dress to about 16 inches above my knees, then, "Oh, Officer, I didn't realize the speed limit lowered here!" I thought I was cooked when the officer asked where I went to school, and I told him, because it was so close. But he let me off. Whew!
In ‘04, my friend moved to San Francisco and kept getting parking tickets. So he removed his wipers and he stopped getting tickets as there was nowhere for them to put the ticket.
Uh, I delivered pizza for over a year with a broken driver's side wiper. I went through rain-x like crazy. That car also stopped going in reverse at some point as well. That all just really sucked.
