Are you stupid or just unobservant?

So, I'm dog sitting this weekend and on my way home from my third visit to check on and feed the dog I heard a strange noise. Nothing much to worry about. My car is only a couple of years younger than I am. It makes noises. Well I pulled up to a busy intersection. The light was red so of course I stopped and I waited for a bit for the light to turn green.

Finally it turned green. The person in front of me went and I pressed down on the gas pedal and nothing happened.

I stomped on the gas pedal and nothing happened.

I started kicking the gas pedal saying, "NO! NO! NO!" hoping that maybe that would make it go.

It didn't.

Do I have gas? Yes. Am I crazy and actually stomping on the brake? No. I turned on my emergency lights and called my mom.

Well, I was pretty content sitting and waiting for someone to come help me, but other people weren't so much. Unfortunately they were stupid and didn't have the sense to notice my emergency lights and drive around in the other lane. Okay, maybe they weren't stupid. I mean the majority of them were driving a Lexus or Mercedes or some other expensive SUV or something. Obviously they had to have money and they had to have some way of getting that money so maybe they weren't stupid, maybe they're just unobservant.

Someone honks.

Okay, they're stupid.

I don't know if you've ever noticed how boring it is to sit at a traffic light but it's boring. Even those few seconds you usually have to wait for the light to change from red to green are boring. Now multiple that by about 50 or 60 times. Well, I don't really know how many times the light changed while I sat and waited for the tow truck, but I did wait about an hour and a half total.

Oh. My. Gosh.

The blinking emergency lights started reminding me of a song that I couldn't remember the name or lyrics to. I decided to write down my story in my notebook....which was at home. I texted my friends. They asked about my car. I told them that he's dead. They were sad for me. Then I remembered that my phone is almost dead.

Not only that but by the time the tow truck finally came to save me I only had half an hour left before I needed to go back and walk the dog. The tow truck guy got my car started and said it looks like it might be the battery. He and my mom followed me home. The car stopped again a street before I got to my house. I got out of the car and told my mom and the tow truck guy that they could take over.

I was through and I had to go walk a dog.

And that was my day. Now, I'm just going to play some Solitaire, eat some ice cream and watch t.v. if I can. With my luck, my computer will crash, the freezer will stop working and the t.v. will die. But maybe not. I really, really hope not.
