You know what's cool? When it's midnight and you're driving home in the rain. You think to yourself "When I get home, I'll jump on the computer for a bit, then I'll either read, watch TV, or play a video game for a bit before going to bed." And at that moment you realize you have a flat tire. It's annoying, but you pull into the nearest parking lot. You can change a flat tire in about 2 minutes, so time wise no big deal, you're only annoyed because the ground is wet and nasty and you'll be wet and nasty when you finish. You open your trunk and that's when you realize it...no jack. This complicates things slightly. Luckly your good friend isn't to far away and still awake. You call him up, "you man, you busy? I got a flat and I don't have a jack." So now you have to wait there in the rain for five to ten minutes before you even get a jack (you don't sit in the car because you're to antsy and annoyed to sit down). Your friend arrives and after getting his jack out of his trunk, he tosses you the wrench, "yo dude, get the lugs." Looks like it's finally over, not to bad. The lugs are to big for the size of the wrench. "Well we could go get my wife's set, hopefully it works." So now you must leave your car alone at midnight in the rain in the parking lot of a cheap motel to go with your friend. You get to his house get the new jack and get back to the scene within 10 minutes. You take out the new wrench, "Please God let this fit." You catch your first break and it does. The tire is changed and it's over. The supposed to be 2 minute inconvience turns into a 45 minute annoyance. Now you must wake up early to go to the shop and hope that the problem is something that can just be plugged so you don't have to buy a new tire and get it fixed up and back on the car before you have to go to work at 2 tomorrow afternoon. If not you have to beg and convince the parentals to let you use one of their cars so you can go out in the evening still.

Oh wait, that wasn't you that was me.

THANK YOU STAN!
