here's the deal, I've never EVER had a flat tire. I know how to change one but I've never actually had one to change. That is, until 2 months ago. 2 months ago someone did something to tamper with the valve core stem (the thing a ma jig that makes sure the air stays in the tire when you fill it up..) so that sucked. Luckily i had a full size spare with hub-cap and everything to replace it with (rear passenger side.)
I had someone change it for me. Not because I didn't feel like I could, just because he was willing.. (THANKS DOUG!!!) and he did it without a shirt on. Now, if this had been Taye Diggs, (pictured) I would have been the happiest girl alive, but he wasn't so i was still pretty pissed. Now, at least 2 months later, it happens again! only this time I'm actually driving home from work, and of course I've had a beer or two, or whatever, and i get into my air-conditioned free car and i hear what sounds like air coming out of something.. I listen closely and the sound changes into something that i don't recognize. (like i said, it's never happened to me before.) so i pull into a parking lot to investigate because i just feel like something is wrong, my dad asked later, you didn't notice that your car was driving funny? Well, no I didn't, because it was driving fine. BUT ALAS! my tire was flat. Front driver side this time.
Fast forward 20 minutes, I'm on the phone with my mom and my uncle Rusty, Flipping out because i feel like i should be able to do this on my own. I mean i spend a lot of time driving on my own in my car in the middle of the night on not so frequented roads, what happens to me then? So I'm pissed that this is happening again, frustrated that I can't fix it alone and i have to pee so frigging bad. I'm literally jumping on my lug wrench but i can only loosen 2 of them. I actually yelled at my mom and uncle (for which i feel horrible) but i was pissed. and i couldn't help it.
within 20 minutes, as promised, my re-reinforcements show up, (THANK YOU JESSE REPASS!!) and 10 minutes later I'm walking back from the dark corner i found to pee in and he's putting the flat into the trunk and I'm like... WTF!? I'm so grateful that he was there for me and was able to do what i couldn't, my mom told me i loosened it for him. Apparently that's a womanly rule that i missed in my adolescence.
Anyways, neither time was it any huge inconvenience, but add to this the first time my brake line was also cut, i really truly feel like someone is out to get me. I'm furious. I don't often do mad, i get aggravated, frustrated, and annoyed, but mad isn't my style, takes way to much energy.
That being said, allow me to take this opportunity to say; whoever is screwing with my car, I will find out. You will regret it. Just stop now, before you've really pissed me off. Believe me, you're much better off that way.
