Im a very new driver. Got my licence a month ago and god do I love it. I feel so free, having a car is great.
And so today I was chilling in my car, engine off but the ac on cause damn its hot.
Was on my phone watching a video when suddenly the ac and all lights of the car went off. Weird. I try to start the engine and… guess at this point you understand what happened.
I didn’t because I’m dumb and don’t know shit about cars. Just know it’s cool to finally have one. I try to start it again and yeah same pity noises.
And I’m not completely dumb, just good old Joe kinda dumb so now I realise what happened.
So yeah TIFU battery of my car is dead. Thankfully someone was able to help me starting it again.
TLDR drain battery chilling in my car with the ac on and engine off.
