Tired..But Not How You Might Think
My sister, Bethany, has the worst luck ever. Every time she comes to visit, something goes terribly wrong with her car. A year ago, when she came to visit, she got a flat tire in Wellfleet. Because she had AAA troubles, her and I spent hours on the side of the road. So, this time, when she called me from Wellfleet to tell me she had a flat tire, we both just laughed. What else is new? I ventured out in the dark, and picked her up. We left the car for dead until the morning, as Wellfleet is dark and scary at night. On Saturday, we went to rescue the Ford Contour with the assistance of our 1st foreign AAA guy(you will see why I have to say 1st soon). My sister refrained from the "keep your hands of my AAA guy" speech, as she knows I am no longer single and it is unnecessary. Foreign guy #1 put her donut on, and I followed her to the garage where we went our seperate ways. I assumed that she bought two tires and headed back to UMASS where she belongs. When I arrived home a short time later, she was in the driveway with foreign guy #2 and flat tire #2. Apparently, the garage used poor judgement and only replaced one tire. She had requested two, but they swore all was safe. Foreign guy #2 said she never should have been on the road. Thank you AAA, for ensuring my sister's safety...you dipshits! Now, as far as I know, my sister is back in Dartmouth, two new tires in her possession. The poor thing could have been killed because of someones laziness. Lesson learned: trust your instincts, and demand the service you deserve.

The "keep your hands of my AAA guy" speech? Is there something I should know? Is this why you kept hinting about AAA when I was changing that flat for you? Is that I work in the automotive industry not a coincidence? Things become so much clearer... LOL
