ladders in the road

[onibrook]

..they suck. i was driving home on palendale and before i reached dale i ran into a big fucking ladder. we were all so close together i guess no one really had time to react. the car in front of me was a big fricking suv thing it angled at the last second so that the ladder went in between its wheels.. but its rear tire barely hit making it turn, i had no choice it was either ram into the car next to me break and be hit by the car behind me or hit the damn thing. well i hit it and it got caught in my undercarriage and i started to drag it. i was on the phone with my dad asking him to check my email when this happened so i started cursing. no one would let me pull over to the right of the road where it would be safer to inspect my car i had to get into the middle turn lane and put on my hazards. luckily there was a guy in the lane a bit down from me where he was trying to turn left. he got out of his car and helped me. he had to stand on the end of the ladder while i reversed over it and then had to angle back over it so i could get my car unstuck from the ladder. i thanked him and went home calling my dad back to let him know what happened. he kept telling me i followed too close im a bad driver blah blah thats why my mom doesnt like driving with me. i told him to shut it cause he does the same damn thing so he cant talk. but he wouldnt let it go. you all know me , i dont find these things amusing, and with him teasing me on the other line i started to have a panic attack or maybe it was just rage. i get home my dad is blocking my path telling me i cant take 'that' tone with him i told him to please get out of my way but he sidestepped into my way again. i asked him to leave me along and my mom finally told him to back off and he yelled women were too damned sensitive that i need to learn to laugh. we checked out the car with a flashlight and it seems o k. i calmed down and now i feel bad for snapping at my dad but god i just dont have the same sense of "humor" as he does im not as easy going as he is. and i didnt find it funny and why cant he learn to leave me some breathing space when im clearly upset instead of hounding me? ah well...
