Default Old ladies and cars

Stopped at a gas station over the weekend, and this little old lady asked me if I could help her with her car. Sure, no problem. I walk over to her car, and she's apparently trying to put air in the tires. She says she thinks something's wrong, maybe there's a leak, because the pump isn't shutting off, it just keeps running. And BTW, she says, how do you tell when the tire is "full"? I grab the tire gauge from my car and put it on the one she's been working on. Are you ready for this? It reads 95 psi.

I'm holding the little bleed button on the gauge for what seemed like eternity, till it got down to 34 psi. Also set the other three to 34 psi since who knows what they might be at, and then sent her on her way.

I'm not exaggerating, she had that tire filled to 95 psi!!!
