I had to replace a battery on my car this weekend. The old one was leaking like crazy and wouldn't hold a charge.

It's like a 10 minute job to pull out the old battery, clean the leads of the copper sulfate that's built up on them (blue gunk from leaking acid) and put in the new one. As I'm doing it, two different sets of neighbours come out and act very impressed that I "know how to do that" (note that I'd never changed a car battery before; I simply thought it wouldn't be very hard to figure out, and it wasn't). Then they start asking me unrelated car questions as though I've become an auto expert in their eyes.
