Today has gone downhill. Work was OK, then this evening we went out to Kerry's leaving do (even though she's not actually leaving... long story) and had a nice time. When we got back to the car park we discovered it was locked and we could not get the car out. Not such a big problem, we could take a taxi and retrieve the car in the morning. Then on trying to wind up the passenger side window it made a cracking sound, so I wound it down a bit to investigate. It made a horrible grinding sound and refused to go back up. We were now in a car park with a car we could no longer leave unattended as anyone could get into it. So we called the AA. While we were waiting for AA Guy to arrive a security guard was able to let us out of the car park, which was a bonus. If we had somewhere to park the car off-road I would have called the AA and said don't worry, but as the road outside our house is chav infested I let them continue in the hope they could render the car secure. The guy tried his best to fix it, and had some difficulty even accessing the inside of the door, but then the window glass shattered. I ended up taking the car up and parking it in the hospital loading bay, where at least it has a security camera watching it all night.
Arse.
