It is time like these,
when I wish I didn’t need a car.
I am currently living somewhere in UK, which means no family here. Yesterday morning my car doors were frozen shut, makin’ me almost an hour late for work. Actually, I’m not sure if the driver’s side door was frozen or not, because I can no longer open it from the outside anymore because… on Monday the handle for my driver’s side door BROKE. Now I can only crawl across the center console from the passenger door and THAT IS REALLY VERY SAD.
So yesterday I spent a good half hour slamming myself up against the side of my car, trying to break the seal around the door without breaking the glass or any of my bones.
Today my neighbor who saw me banging myself against the car and crawling through my car yesterday come over and pour hot water on my door. THAT’S all I needed to do?! Shit.
So now I’m still crawling through my car, but not banging my body against the outside of my car, which is a bit of an improvement, no? Will have to remember the British hot water trick, and look like less of an ass and/or a car thief in the future.
