I am so fucking fed up. The car which I'm driving (an old one of my mum's which I've been using since I started working) has been giving problems. The latest one is where it just won't start. It first started last week when I was leaving the office, but after a few tries it finally started. The second one was worse - last Friday, after a demo at a customer's place, I couldn't start the car to go home. Luckily there was a guy from a partner company who was there with me and he tried to help me but the car refused to start after trying for half an hour. So I had to leave the car there and he sent me to a convenient LRT station - I had to go back and get the car the next day; and it started without problem that morning.
On and off it has been like this, most of the times when I want to leave the house. Then it happened again today after a demo at an office not too far from my house. I had to postpone a lot of plans because it wouldn't start although I kept trying for a good hour. My friend came to take me for lunch after that hour of trying, and when I came back after another hour, then it started up as good.
My father (who does the car-fixing at home) doesn't believe me when I said the car won't start. He even asked my mom to ask me if I had it in the right gear when I tried the car. He sarcastically said that "10 times out of 10, it starts" when he tries. He even tried it just now after dinner - "starts on each time I try" when he tried it out 4 times. That is so fucking brilliant. If it starts the first time, of course it will start every stupid subsequent time you try. Why don't you try it every few hours, then come back and tell me it doesn't start. I was so upset I snapped at my mom - the wrong person. Well I can't snap at my dad if he doesn't talk to me and only passes the message through my mom. I apologised of course, but I nearly cried when I told her how upset I was because it's like my father thinks I'm lying. Why the fuck would I lie about this kind of thing? Or am I that stupid that I can't even figure out which gear to put the car in to start, even though I've been driving that very car for the past 4 years?

Suggest you send it to a reliable workshop. Its probably the ignition and the carburettor...loose connections. Its dangerous this way, you wouldn't want to be stuck in the middle of nowhere. I guess you have to do it quietly.
