stranded

January 9th, 2010

I was driving, on my way to the bank and then the optometrist, when a car pulled next to me beeping. The guy on the passenger’s side informs me that my rear right tire was flat. I thought I’d heard a weird sound coming from that side of the vehicle.

So, I turn around and go back home, thinking I can take my sister’s care instead. I get in and start pulling out of the driveway. I shifted into drive and found that the steering wheel was virtually unresponsive. I go back in the house and ask my sister about it, and she tells me (mumbling from under a mound of covers) that maybe it needs more steering wheel fluid, and at my protestations, of course she doesn’t have any available.

So after briefly weighing my options, I decide to just drive my car to get the tire changed. But, guess what? The battery has suddenly died. *head desk*

So, In this instance, it would be great if I knew how to change a tire and jump off a car. :/
