car rant and stupid drivers
So, this is a rant for those of you who aren't interested. for those of you who are - it's very amusing in a not so funny kind of way.
i am losing my ability to drive. i got into a car accident in november and they want to charge me close to 600 dollars a month for car insurance. whoever said that things were better in canada is a liar. things are way more expensive here. so, i am transferring ownership of my car to indigo who will then be the only person insured. it is the only way i can keep my truck - sort of. :)
so, on friday night some asshole parks too close to my car on the underground parking. i try to get out and wind up scratching most of the paint of my rear passenger side fender. it looks like shit. immediately i am in a bad mood but grateful that it was a post and not another car that i hit. so, saturday i go to the store to pick up paint to try to make my truck look better. i get some but you have to wash your car before you can paint it. since i don't have a hose i go to one of those places where you put your car in neutral and just cruise through the car wash. this is not as easy as it sounds. halfway through the carwash my truck gets stuck. there are a couple of cars behind me trucking forward and honking their horns because i am in the way. no one comes to help and i don't know what to do. suddenly my car jets forward off the track and i wind up on a grate that can't support my car so my car literally falls through the grate. i am now in my car on an angle because my front end is below the floor. i panick. finally people come to help me. it takes an hour of being stuck in the middle of a car wash to get my car back on the track and get the hell out of there. i think about getting my money back but really i just wanted to go home.
so i go home and try to paint the car as planned after my half ass traumatizing car wash. i can't get the lid of the paint. i use a knife that's in my car and almost slice my hand open. then i can't tell which way to spray the can and it gets all over me. it was a very bad day.
then, later, as i am driving i notice more than one idiot. one idiot is checking her blackberry while driving with kids in the back seat. one idiot has headphones in both ears while driving. one idiot has no hands on the wheel and is fucking texting!
now, i wonder why MY car insurance is so fucking high?!
on top of all that i've been doing way too much housework and not getting nearly enough rest because of chronic insomnia. i am in a very bad mood.
can i get a little help here? from anyone? i just need a break. i know there are worse things in the world, i realize that. i just am really pissed and need desperately to take a hot bath and a chill pill.
thanks for listening to my rant.
