The AutoNObile
You know what pisses me off? Car trouble. For fuck's sake, this saga has been going on for six months now... me, car trouble... auto shop "fixes" it... me, car trouble again... auto shop "fixes" it... and now, today, car goes back to the shop.
There aren't a lot of car shops to choose from around here and one of them is totally off limits because we've already tried them and they screwed us (they screwed a family friend of ours too). The auto shop we've been using for the past six months is rated the best in our county, and they have warrantees on the work so this will be the third time we bring it back.
There I was, approaching the entrance/exit to my apartment complex about to turn onto the main road when all of a sudden I couldn't steer (well, I could but it was hard as hell). I managed to back up into the apartment complex's driveway before being hit by the main road's oncoming traffic and muscled the car over to the side of the entrance way so I wouldn't be in the way of entering and exiting cars.
It's the belt (you can see it hanging underneath the car). Belts were replaced the last time the car was in the shop but as we recall they were used belts.
So, back to the shop the car goes and now I have to get a rental (again). I have things to do, goddamnit! I fuckin' hate the inconvenience. Not to mention it's Friday, and it'll be a holiday, and I'm leaving town on the 5th for two weeks so I'm trying to prepare for that (I need to get some new shoes, some clothes, some travel supplies). I have a meeting at work on the 3rd. I wanted to hang out with a friend today (who doesn't drive so she can't swing by and pick me up). I have shit to do, fuckin' fuckity fuck. GRRRRRR. I like my car but I'm tried of these problems.
Don't even get me started on computer trouble. I can get physically violent toward inanimate objects when that happens.
