Title: This thread has nothing to do with PD
Post by: Cyanista on April 30, 2007, 03:40:21 PM: No, really.

So I'm in a larger city about an hour away for a job interview. I pulled into some convenience store on my way out of town to grab a Dr. Pepper for the drive (hi I'm an addict). I start my car, go to throw it into reverse, and. . it won't throw. My gearshift was stuck. I restart the car, check the emergency brake, wiggle the steering wheel - still nothing.

So I'm like DAMMIT and some samaritan appears out of nowhere. He tries to yank the shift out of park (as if perhaps I was simply too feeble to do it). No luck. He offers me a ride, I tell him to piss off and call my best friend's uncle, who is a grease monkey. He starts trying to tell me to look for some "button" on the base of the gearshift or under the dashboard that will override the lock on the somethingorother and allow me to move my car. Mind you, he's already drunk at 3pm, so I thank him and get off the phone to start rooting around for this button.

Another random passerby comes up and says he has tools in his jeep, so he'll help me pop the console out so we can look at the gearshift. Turns out he's a flight mechanic at the local Bell Helicopter plant. I'm like YAY he fixes ospreys he can probably find this override switch. I r saved.

Ten minutes later, his rambling is starting to bore me and no luck. So I start to look, myself. Being a mother, I know how to look for things. You go to the place it could be and touch/move EVERYTHING until you find it.

I touch some little white tab (not a fucking button), it slips out of place, and I can't slip it back. Aha! I'm like "Hey, I might have found it." Which he, of course, ignores. So I just put the car in reverse and laughed when he had to jump and hit the brake.

Little toyota four doors are apparently more mystifying than complex military machines.

Post by: DJ_Tet on April 30, 2007, 03:43:30 PM: I read it. I appreciate well written, original threads by members, there should be more threads of this type.

Did you miss the job interview? Did you get the flight mechanic's number?
Title: Re: This thread has nothing to do with PD
Post by: Cyanista on April 30, 2007, 03:47:08 PM: No, this happened after the interview! That was actually stroke of luck, as I'd already changed out of my demure skirt into shorts so I could work on my tan on the drive home. I might not have gotten so much help, otherwise.

And no, I didn't ask for his number. He was a bit too old for me, and honestly I would have felt self conscious. I'd really just be offering because I was grateful, which seems sort of conceited.

Post by: Saint Cornelius on April 30, 2007, 03:49:11 PM: I'm surprised it took ten minutes for the rambling to bore you. I imagine about two, three seconds going by before you roll your eyes, place a finger up to his lips and tell him "it's okay, i think i've figured it out"

Post by: Mupepe on April 30, 2007, 03:49:37 PM: ahh those are good days when you're all like "oh shit, shit's going down" and then you're like "oh, it's not all that bad" :punch :punch

Post by: DJ_Tet on April 30, 2007, 03:51:21 PM: So how did the interview go?

Tauntaun, I'll keep that in mind :-*

Title: Re: This thread has nothing to do with PD
Post by: Van Cruncheon on April 30, 2007, 03:53:33 PM: this is tangentially related to the pd threads because it reminds me that i'd rather be a chick when my car breaks down so i could get some fucking HELP instead of being laughed at and occasionally having empty cans of budweiser bounced off my hood

Post by: whiteACID on April 30, 2007, 03:53:44 PM: So you told the Samaritan to piss off after he tried to help you? I'm sure you didn't *literally* tell him that.
Title: Re: This thread has nothing to do with PD
Post by: Cyanista on April 30, 2007, 03:56:53 PM: I think the interview went well, though no offer yet. I should have gotten homeboy's number, come to think of it. He could hook me up with a job at the factory.

And how have I changed? Fuck, you people have high expectations.

Well, that's true... but I was referring to the white-girl-swallowing-the-huge-black-dick in what's his fucks post. That's gone now.

The best jokes are the one that require an explanation!

edit: oh my, i missed the joke, too.

Post by: Cyanista on April 30, 2007, 04:01:51 PM: I've been on these incestuous little communities for years with no pics. Just go back to pretending I'm an angry, overweight boy so I can have a good, genial day every now and then without fuckers all up in my grill like YO YO WHY U SLIPPIN?

and oh.
Who was trying to derail my thread with porn? That seems random.

They were only trying to be nice, assertive and manly like all good men should, so you should have acted in kind be doing the doings of your kind.
