Today, as i was making my way towards the OC (not just OC, but THE OC), my driverside tire suddenly went flat. There i was, southbound on the busy 101 in hollywood, and i had to suddenly merge three lanes over so i can stop and figure out why my car sounded like it was going to blow up. The shoulder of the freeway was teeny tiny, i barely made my way up it. While sitting in my car collecting my nerves, my car was bouncing back and forth from being so close to the cars speeding past me. I was finally able to get out and saw that i had a flat tire. I would've attempted to change my own tire if i had been in an area that was safe: ie- a place where i wouldn't have gotten run over by speeding cars, but alas, i didn't feel like being injured today. So, i called AAA, and after being put on hold forever, they told me that it would take another 20 min for someone to get out to me. As soon as i hung up with them, i called my mom, and while talking to her, a truck pulled up behind me! I thought it was AAA and was surprised that they came so quickly. But alas, i was wrong, for it was the freeway saftey patrol. The guy changed my tire in 10 minutes, i called AAA to cancel (which was more of a hassel than it was worth really), and i was on my way in no time.
And the lesson of this story? My taxdollars ARE really being put to work. The guy was friendly and fast, and he got there quicker than AAA, without me even calling him! I guess the city ain't so devilish after all...
Except when it's being represented by good looking vampire lawyers and the cronies...but i haven't had to worry about that ever since their cancellation. :-)
So i see that no one wants to post any comments. Maybe i've been too bold to assume that i had more than 5 readers. Even the viagra pushing drug dealers don't want to spam me with comments. I don't think it can get any sadder than that.
(Yes, that was my weak attempt into guilt tripping you into commenting on my blog. did it work?)
