DRAMA QUOTIENT!!
Gotta fill it so here we go!
So, my dad's Honda gets hit, bumper is hanging on by a nail, so he puts it in the shop and Geico gets us a rental. I get to drive the rental home from dinner. No insurance, but I have a permit so it's not completely illegal. I get up the next day and he tells me I need to drive to work on my lonesome since Roxy, one of the 40 girls he's having sex with went missing for three months and came back today. I'm somewhat anxious about it but he leaves and I go back to sleep. I drive to work without anything but a learner's permit just fine, work 8 and a half hours, and drive back. I walk to my friend Tyler's house as he is back in town from Schoolan Gaems at Texas State, spend the night there. I get up and there's a message from my dad saying I need to drive to work and back again. Fine, whatever, I'm getting good driving experience while I can. I get off and head back to Tyler's since I forgot some shit there and end up staying the night again. I wake and have 8 missed calls from a hotel. My dad is calling from a hotel so when he calls next I answer, we have a short conversation, he mentions that my mom's Truck is stolen and he is stranded downtown at the hotel. He says he's going to call around and hangs up. Maybe half an hour later and asks me to drive downtown, on the highway, and pick him up. Me, the person who has been driving only 3 days. Me, the person who has never driven on the highway. Me, who has never been driving downtown where everything is under construction and traffic is always god-awful.
Understandably he's upset. Buuuut he goes about it in a nutso-that's-my-dad fashion. He screams and cusses at me, declares he gets no respect, he yells his age (I don't know what it is, like 60 something), he mentions my favorite war (Vietnam), says he's going to sell the house, and a few other things I can't recall along with stating he's going to walk home. So I talk to my mom, she is of course pissed off that her truck is stolen and so on.
I have to get ready for work in 10 minutes. Fucking A.
