The past few days, my truck has been making an annoying noise when it gets up around 40 mph, and no matter how hard I listened, I couldn’t tell what it was or where it was coming from. It kinda sounded like a piece of stiff wire banging against something, like maybe it was wrapped around my front axle. Then yesterday, I was driving and the noise started up, and I tried listening very hard again trying to figure out where it was coming from, when I saw something moving on my antenna. Then suddenly I remembered: several days ago, I found a washer sitting on the ground in my driveway, and I picked it up to see if I could tell where it came from. I didn’t know what it was from, so instead of just dropping it back on the ground, I slid it onto the antenna on the truck, and forgot all about it. So this noise that had been plaguing me this whole time ended up being caused by me.
Now I want to go out and buy a handful of washers and walk around some parking lot.
