Oh my fucking GOD!
Holy shit, Everything went downhill after I left my neighborhood. No not horrible, but many minor WTF's.
So after watching them break down my house for a while, I left to go to Walmart. I park, do some shopping and pile it into my van. FUCKING gear stick on the column moved freely and far looser than it should, but the VAN WOULDN'T COME OUT OF PARK. FUCK! Fortunately I had rode side assistance for my auto insurance. But had a ton of food and stuck in 90 degree heat, had to wait an hour, but they got there. SOOOOOOOO, finally the toe truck arrives, guy sticks his hand under the hood, jiggles something, says, "Ok try to put it in gear now." IT GOES INTO GEAR. Turned out to be a warn out bushing on the cable going to the transmission. So I go take my crap up to my room, set it down to open my hotel room door, as I am shoving things through the door, my cat BOLTS OUT INTO THE HALLWAY, as the my cell phone rings, but fuck that. I am not letting my cat escape.
Finally I get him back in the room. Call the number that called me, it was the tow truck driver. He's telling me now that my side sliding door wont close completely. I went down, tried to shut it myself, because there is a certain way you have to shut it, but this time even I couldn't. So he had to use a ratchet strap, but closed it enough nothing would fall out. He left me at the hotel, towed it to the mechanic.
Then, I thought I left a entire carton of smokes in the van. Called a cab, came back with some beer and another carton, NO I DID NOT LEAVE THE CARTON in the van. So now I have two cartons.
None of this was funny while it was happening, especially the van not moving. But I am laughing my ass off right now.
