How to Goof Up the Hood of Your Car

One: jump up to go out to the parking lot to help a friend jumpstart her car.
Two: park next to her car, drag out the cables, open the hood and prop it up.
Three: discover that the cables don't quite reach. Decide to move the car closer to hers.
Four: release the prop for the hood, lower the hood but don't latch it, and move the car.
Five: discover that some unseen interaction between the hood, the prop, and the hood latch is keeping the hood stuck so it can neither open nor close properly.
Six: move car so someone else can give it a shot. Resolve to visit Honda dealer in the morning to fix it.

No good deed goes unpunished. ; >

Now you know.
