A month ago, I got a flat tire. I had them patch it. Last night, the patch failed and left me with a flat tire.

I hobbled to the nearest gas station and put in air, then drove to the garage that put on the patch. I got there at 5:50. They close at 6. I told the guy — I know you don’t have time to fix it, but could you put on my spare for me, then I’ll leave the tire with you, and you can fix it tomorrow.

The asshole told me he didn’t have time to put on the spare. With their power jacks and power wrenches, it would have taken him all of 2 minutes. He could have changed 4 tires, and still had time to wash his hands and then shove a big old lug wrench up his butt where it belongs.

So, I filled my tire up with way too much air, and thankfully, there was still just enough left in it this morning to hobble over to a gas station for more air.

Then I went to A DIFFERENT F’ING GARAGE to buy a new tire.

Oh, and my car’s AC is on the fritz too. I’m pretty sure it’s just a loose wire, but the shop told me I need a new AC blower motor. So, basically, a fan. And how much do you supposed a fan costs? If you guessed under $200 you’d be totally wrong. I’m going to take it to somebody else for a second oppinion. I’m pretty sure it’s just a loose wire.
