Adventures in Tow-Trucking
La La La....i'm on my way to work...particularly enjoying this really cute part on my new CD where pharell sings in falsetto...and i'm trying to sing along.....but really i sound like a dying cat... ....and BooM KaBoOm ! something is wrong with my clutch ! aiyah....i THOUGHT something was wrong with it last week and the week before, and told my dad ( the self-proclaimed car *expert) and what does he say? " oh...its fine.. Its VOLVO !" ...oh brother.. Thats what he said last time i told him something was funny, and it turns out i needed new brake pads. So i was planning on secretly taking it over to the shop tomoro....but NOW it was too late for that !!!
So in the moment...something goes boom, and my clutch gets stuck to the floor, my car disengages gear, and i can't get it back into gear....suddenly i'm going from 40 miles to 20 miles, and the cars are honking zooming by. =( i so scared. Desperately i search for the clutch, trying to get my car back into gear....and amidst my frantic search, my foot decides to find my BRAKE pedal instead. And screeech...=( i couldnt make it to the curb. Heh. I'm about 2 feet away from the curb. Aiyah....what do i do, what do i do? =( the other half is working, mom is working, dad is disabled, emergency man of the moment....20 miles away in business. And what purpose would it serve to call my disabled father...only to stress him out more? oooh...think fast laura.
i turn on my emergency lights and get out of the car. And like magic....a tow truck appears. Heh....my knight in greasy armor. My bald knight in greasy armor. I dont know what it was about him...but he was so charming....maybe its because he just...showed up out of no where right when i needed it....maybe its because he was bald, maybe its because he was so shy and few of words...maybe its because he called me " little lady" ....maybe its because he didnt care if he was getting dirty....maybe its because he worked so hard.....maybe it was a combination of all of them. Heh...and whilst i was pondering all this, he was lying on the floor hooking up cables here and there. At which i awoke from my pondering and became so scared because i didnt know what to do ! how was i going to pay for this ? how much is this going to cost? do i have my checkbook? where am i going to tow the car? does this have anything to do with my insurance?
i guess he saw the look of panic on my face....because he just told me not to worry. Heh. I love those words. " Don't you worry. I'll take care of you". *sigh* ..i felt like such a little girl...but it didnt necessarily feel so bad.So he towed my car to the local repair shop that i was aquainted with...and when i took out my checkbook to pay him...he refused in the sweetest way. " I told you I'd take care of you, didnt I? " at which he gave me his business card, and then, as fast as he appeared.....he was gone. I felt like he was the brother i never had. HEH...and then i had grand delusions that maybe he WAS my brother...an *angeL* ...disguised as a greasy towing guy.....( leave a girl be to dream).. whatever the case...
i felt........touched.
I dont know...i cant explain it...but somehow i felt connected to this guy who helped me out today.
heh. His name was Bobby. ( its very fun to say....TRY it ! 10x !! ) I wish my name was Bobby. Heh. People would have so much fun saying it, they'd just be saying it over and over.
