A Shit Week

And what i learnt about society today!

 

Had 3 separate issues this week with my car.

 

1, ran out of petrol on a roundabout (my fault for thinking as downhill I would make it) but was pushing the car back off the main drag to beeps and folk shouting and laughing, which is par for the course I guess, but in the hour I

was stood waiting for petrol to arrive only one woman wound window down to ask if I needed assistance.

 

2, started car and closed the door to go get keys for work and the fucking thing locked itself with keys inside and car running! WTF had to crowbar and wire coathanger to get in it.

 

3, had to abandon my car on Saturday due to snow over Belmont, 5 mile walk home I stopped to help a guy who was skidding all over the place, after 10 mins gave it up as he was going nowhere and I was freezing so as I apologised to walk off the guy shouts "that it? Thanks for nothing"??

 

Shit week and have learnt that lf u break down and the like no fucker will help you and if you offer to it wouldn't be appreciated anyway!

 

Quiet morning so thought I would rant!

ha ha fair enough, i got stuck in traffic in liverpool this morning and had a pissed couple banged on Tallulah (my car) asking for change. see things could be worse :D

Running out of petrol has got to be the stupidest thing on earth, no offence like.

 

Someone did it on our work's estate the other week and its single lane. No he didn't get any sympathy either.

 

Rant over. :D

Oh the stupidest but it wasn't as simple as forgetting to put in it was that the card I tool to pay with expired 12/11 so had to chance it and Preston to bolton obviously longer than I thought!

 

And cheers frannie for some perspective!

Woah, woah, woah!

 

back up a little: Franny's got a pet name for his car?

Glad it wasn't just me who noticed.

 

And what makes it worse is he chose Tallulah!!!

Erm

 

Your car has a name?

 

Go and see matron, that's appalling.

yep Tallulah, the guy who sold it me looked like Junior Bevil off cool runnings.

Doesn't everyone have a pet name for their car?

Yep "four wheeled fuckwit" after last weeks debacle!

My first car was the Tin Bitch

Second car TB2

 

After that I went on the company car scheme.

I had a mini number plate JCK, so of course he was Jack.

 

I cried when he went.

I was driving down Blackburn Road on saturday when exhaust fell off. Guy walking past said give me some cash and he'll get me some rope. Like i'd fall for that trick Pulled into asda at astley bridge just as blizzard kicked in. Lay under car frozen to the bone trying to tie exhaust so it didn't scrape along the floor. Got to our lasses then it fell down again. Went to casino and we both won 50 quid each. Woke up yesterday and went to Drive 2000 and got it sorted. Happy days ;-)
