Driving to my class earlier this afternoon, I felt my little Corolla wobbling. I started to panic because I knew it had to be more than a flat tire. So I pulled over to a safe place....an entryway to a neighborhood. I got out and saw a hole in my tire I don't remember driving over glass or anything in the road. I'm sure I would've noticed driving over something to cause a tear like that. I was so pissed at myself for not knowing how to change a fucking tire My dad always rotate my tires for me, so I called him to ask what to do. He got on me for never watching him change my tires all these years. I knew this was gonna come back to haunt me. I just wanted him to tell me how to change it, but he kept suggesting for me to wait outside of my car with the spare. He gave people the benefit of the doubt....I didn't. I kept telling him that nobody's gonna just pull over and help a stranger.....change a tire. While I was still waiting in my car on the phone, an older lady driving past me asked if I needed help. I told her that it was o.k, because at the time I really was in the middle of arranging for someone to tell me how to change it. So I get the spare out and not even a minute after, this man pulls over and offers to change it for me. Of course I didn't decline. I told him I wanted to watch in case this happens again. He was so cool about it. It barely took him 5 minutes to change it....and it did look really easy I felt bad because I didn't have any cash on me at the time. He said that it was no problem, but I still wanted to offer him something, you know. I had a few groceries in my car I started to offer....a 3 pk. paper towel, a case of bottled water, liquid Dial, body wash (judging by his cologne I highly doubt he would've wanted that), Disinfecting bathroom wipes, Trolli Sour Worms, Strawberry Whoppers, a birthday card, and.....PANTYLINERS Yeah, I would've felt like an ass offering him those things. I thanked him about 10 times. I still could kick my own ass for not knowing how to do this myself. Anyone driving a car should know how to do this. To make things worse.....I was wearing Superman shirt.


Here's a good site on "How to Change a Tire"

Hopefully I'm not the only driver here who is clueless about tires I'm learning though. I don't wanna be the Damsel anymore

i'm glad someone was nice enough to stop, and it's good to know there are people like that out there.

sour worms would have been a fair exchange

XxAxX said:

Yeah...I feel bad for doubting people now

ZombieKitten said:

They're awesome I would've thrown in the Whoopers too.

AnckSuNamun said:

I LOVE sour things what are whoopers? are they nice too?

They're malt balls. I remember Althom posted that he liked the chocolate ones on a movies/candy thread a while back. I think they're called something else over there. It's the same thing though.

AnckSuNamun said:

ah! like these

ZombieKitten said:

Yeah,that's them. I haven't had Whoppers in years, but today I decided to try the strawberry kind. I'm still not sure how they're gonna taste.

AnckSuNamun said:

a bit like strawberries probably!

ZombieKitten said:

Yeah.....hopefully

I tried them late last night and they were so good. I like them better than the chocolate ones. The coating really does taste like a strawberry milkshake. ...or like Hershey's strawberry syrup. I love anything strawberry flavored.
