So I was on my way to church this morning...

Had a flat tire.
I was like, "It's okay, I actually know how to fix this."
So I go to my trunk, get the donut, jack, and 4-way and lay them by the flat.
(I'm pulled over in somone's driveway bytheway.)

I lossened the nuts on the tire first.
Then.
It takes me like, 20 minutes to get the car jacked up because the jack is retarded and I had to ghetto-fy it to make it work.
(Don't ask)
So I get it jacked up, take the nuts off, take the tire off and lay it to the side.
(By this time, I've been on the side of the road for breifly 20-30 minutes.)
I grab the donut and go to put it on when I notice that it doesn't fit.
I started laughing.
"Great. Just my luck."
So I try to force it on for like, 5 mins. Needless to say it didn't work.
So I toss the donut aside and started putting the normal tire back on thinking if I can atleast make it back to Conoco I can leave my car there and not be in these people's way. So I put the flat back on and tried calling my friend Blade to come get me. But it's like, 10:30 and he's in church. So I called my mom.
When I told her my situation she just started laughing at me. It was funny though, I have to admit.
Either way, she headed my way.
So I sat in my car for about 20-30 minutes waiting for her.
(Total time on the side of the road=1hr 10min)

She finaly shows up with a can of Fix-a-Flat.
We were there for maybe, 10-15 mins trying to figure stuff out.
It was pretty funny too. We were laughing the whole time.
Anytime you get me and my mom together, it's a garanteed laugh.

Anyways, long story short - I was on the side of the road for like, an hour and a half today instead of going to church. And the whole time I was there, not one person stopped to see if I needed help. Go figure. I mean, it's not like it was a Sunday or anything. lol
