This is one of my pet peeves. You paid for the darn thing, why not use it?

^^And far too often you can't trust them (cars) when they do use it.^^

"Please hold", huh?

After losing my catheter, the first time, following delays in putting that pipe through my prostate, largely due to covid delays, the system was fairly reasonable about going into operation on request.

After some blood in urine requiring a few days in hospital about a year ago and coming out with catheter, removed after a couple of months, the system is much less cooperative, preferring its choice of timing - plus urgency. When one lives in the countryside without both a car and a driver's licence, so depending on hitchhiking, such is not a good way to operate, especially when trying to put the system on "Hold" rarely works.

along with some other groceries, I needed to bring home a new pack of 20 soaker underwear that I require to operate. The lady who picked me up went out of her way, as do many when I have a load of groceries, to bring me home. As buying, maintaining and operating a car is quite expensive and I have not had it, being without one for almost three years, I've not had that expense but have depended on kind people sharing theirs with me, so I'd like to pass some of it along to her, she refused it. Quite a number do, but accept when I suggest that they give it to a charity. Some say that I should give it to a charity, and when I say that I give quite a lot to charities now, enough to bring my income tax down to quite low, they accept my offer.

Many don't - just want to be helpful to an old guy in need.
