Answer 1

Sarah,you're a hard act to follow. I'm a truck driver, and to tell you about my bad days and bad weeks,I would have to explain too much in order for you to understand it all. So let me say that after 2 years of not smoking,I started back on purpose because of the calming effect it had on me. But I'll tell you of a bad day I had once that I won't likely forget soon.
The day started out real nice and went that way most of the day. I was enroute from Ca going to Florida. As I was driving along I was thinking about something I had heard that when things were going great for awhile, that that was the calm before the storm,that something was getting ready to happen. Well I dismissed the thought and started thinking about something else.
I was running through the desert out in the middle of west Texas,somewhere between hoot and holler, and the sun had gone down and another 25 miles I was going to call it a day. I was driving about 65 mph and ahead of me was this old school bus that had been converted to a camper going about 50 mph.
As I was in the passing lane going around it,some metal object was in the road and I ran over it and heard a big clunk. As I got around the old bus, I looked in the mirrors and saw all this liquid spray comming up from my truck. I mean it was thick. Right then I knew that object I ran over had ruptured one of my fuel tanks. And I know that I had covered every window on that old bus with diesel fuel.
I pulled over to the side of the road and checked the damage, and sure enough there was fuel spilling out of the bottom of my 150 gallon tank. And I had just filled up in El Paso,Tx at $2/gal. And there was my fuel just gushing out on the ground.
Well, since it was dark,I could see in the headlights of passing cars and trucks a mile marker post,so I called on the cb radio for one of the trucks to tell me what that mile marker said so when I called for help I could pin point my position. The mile marker was about a quarter of a mile up the road and I couldn,t read it. Would you believe that my radio decided to go on the blink? I could get no responce from anyone. So I ended up having to walk to the mile marker and getting the number and walking back.
I called the closest place that had road service and was told that they were on another call and that I would have to wait. They were the only ones around there and west Texas is a big place so I had no choise. About four hours later they finally showed up.They were a couple of Mexicans, one of them a big fat guy who never got out of the truck and the other a short little skinny guy who couldn't speak english. The little guy new his buisness and shortly got my fuel lines disconnected from the ruptured fuel tank and plugged up. Then the big guy asked me to start my engine which I did. The engine ran for a few seconds and quit. The little guy started mumbling something in spanish and went around the truck and checked the other 150 gallon fuel tank that had not been damaged.. Would you beleive,Sarah, that the fuel had drained out of BOTH TANKS? I figured that I had burned 34 gallons to get as far as I had and 266 gallons had drained out. Then they had to go 25 miles to the truck stop and get 50 gallons of that high priced fuel and bring it back. They got back and fueled me up and followed me to the truck stop and presented me with the $444.00 service bill. Who ever said that Mexicans work cheap? Apparently those two never got the word. Since I was from Texas,they said they would take a check,which still has me scratching my head over that. Then they needed to see my drivers lic. and I couldn't find it. I had no idea where it was. I looked and looked for it,but my lic.was nowhere to be found. They decided to take my check anyway.
By this time, it was 4 or 5 oclock in the morning and the law says that I had to take a 10 hr break. That was ok because that would allow me to get a few hours rest and to go about getting my drivers lic replaced. So after a few hours of a rather fitful sleep, I called the drivers lic dept to find out that they were going to be closed for the next 2 days. Well, I had a load of dog food to deliver and couldn't wait around for two days so I planned to get passed Houston,cause that place can be a real meat grinder traffic wise if you go through at the wrong time. And besides,I haven't had my lic checked by anybody for a couple of years. So at 3:00 pm . Oh,about my plan; When I got passed Houston,then I would then see about getting my drivers lic replaced. So I pulled out at 3:oo and that night while going through San Antonio,Tx, I looked in my mirror and what did I see?
The blue lights of a Texas State trooper wanting me to pull over.
I couldn't believe it. We got out and the first thing he did was smell fuel,then he put his flashlite on my bad fuel tank and it was still dripping a little bit. And leaking fuel,they take rather serious.
I explained to him what had happened and he figured a few drips was no big deal. Then he asked me for my drivers lic,and All I could tell him was that I couldn't find it. Up till then he had been rather nice. Then he said,"You know you're in a lot of trouble don't you?" I told him I figured there was a violation in there somewhere. But he was a nice fellow and reasonable. I told him my DL# and he pulled my driving record up on his screen which showed that I had a good record and all my paperwork checked out,so he thankfully let me slide on that. But he did write me a $226 ticket for some infraction that I didn't think I had comming. But that's another story.
When I got on the other side of Houston I got directions to the drivers lic place and went ther only to be told that the computers were down. But they gave me directions to the next one down the road in the next town. The computers were down at that place too. Finally at the last place before I ran out of Texas and into Louisiana, I was able to get my darned lic replaced. The silver lining in that cloud was that I took a better picture this time around. A couple of days later I found my original lic. It was on the passenger seat under a little towel. I'm still wondering how it got there.
So how is that for having a bad day Sarah? After all was said and done,all my lost fuel service call and repairs and down time I figured cost me about $2000.00.
By the way,I really enjoyed your dry humor.

Best wishes

Answer 2

Umkaaaaayyy... feel better now? ;D

Yeah my main rant is usually relating to idiot peoples' response to my pittie babygirl too. I was told that I'd better put her down before I have my baby (I'm due next month) because she'll most certainly maul my baby with her locking jaws and laser beam eyes. Some people seriously need to learn a bit more about what they are afraid of before propogating lies and ignorance. My sister has a lab she won't let near her son because the lab bites, but she has no problem letting her toddler son play in my dog's food dish because she knows my dog would sooner lick the food residue off his little fingers than ever dare think about getting annoyed that there's a baby playing in her food.

Answer 3

Agree, what is with stupid people, I definitely agree that Mary Poppins should gone with a more shorter skirt and what is the deal with Snow White and seven dwarfs why not men, I know its Disney but Mr Walt had to have some better ideas. Don't even get me started with Donald Duck----Dude where are my shorts, but yet he comes out of the shower with a bath towel over his waist. I think someone was on crack when they made him up. Hey thanks for the vent I feel good now.

Answer 4

I think your dog is cute! I think bulls are adorable. Yea, people are dumb. I was at the customer service counter today at the grocery store and a lady came up in a huff claiming the cashier charged her a dollar too much for her precious coffee. She was just so angry for no reason, really. So the lady had to go into the cash register and give her a dollar. I was trying to register my EBT card for pay-by-touch because the card is defective, and the machine malfunctioned and we were put on hold by the company and I had to leave all my numbers with the customer service lady so she could fix it.

Answer 5

I'm poor just like you, because I pay my bills. I don't have a dog, but I do have a friend who has a Pitbull that's one of the friendliest dogs I know her name is Bella. As for the BAD day my brother gives me a check every week for his share of the BILLS the last 2 Bouced today in the mail the 3rd one came back. So yeah i'm having a BAD DAY.

Answer 6

i don't think i am the first to point it out, but sadly, people are stupid. then, when you tell that to someone, they are 'oh, no i know i am not', then when nobody is looking or they are not put on the spot, they litter, cheat, do bad things to others, pollute the environment intentionally, i could go on but i think most people already stopped reading my post by now.

Answer 7

The average IQ in the US is 100...

A Pitt Bull can and will turn on it's owner without notice.
They also make your homeowners insurance cost more.

But hey, smile your bills are paid.

Answer 8

I had a great day, so I can't vent, I do want to tell you though......better days are ahead, and if you have a good dog and you're paying your bills and you're not hurting anyone......you're on the right path.

Answer 9

Sarah, you really had me fooled -- I thought I was reading something written by Denis Leary! Hope that doesn't make me stupid, too!

Answer 10

Wow, all that rant it only cost you 5 points.

Glad you're feeling better. Hope tomorrow's a better day for you.

Answer 11
