Me and My Car

Let me tell you a story to give you an idea of who I am. I was driving to work the other day when all of a sudden my windshield wipers turned on by themselves. Despite my efforts to turn them off I couldn't. All the way to work I was driving with my windshield wipers on so you can imagine the looks I received from others drivers. Now let me remind you that I live in Miami, and it was a very sunny day. To try to disguise my dilemma at each red light I would spray windshield wiper liquid so other drivers would think I was cleaning my window but it didn't work, they must of thought I was crazy... driving in Miami on a sunny day with my windshield wipers on.

I get to work all upset because now I have to spend money on my car and I haven't even finished my Christmas shopping so now I'm thinking "crap, there goes my Christmas". I get to work, and to every time I would tell a coworker about my windshield wipers they would laugh and say "this could only happen to you". Well to make a long story short the next day I dropped off my car at my mechanic and had a friend drop me off at work.

At the end of the day my friend dropped me off at the mechanic on her way home. When I asked what was wrong with car, the owner of the shop smiled and said let's ask Jose (mechanic that worked on my car), well Jose kind of smiled and said "that Mongolic car of yours found a way of pressing a button and locking your windshield wipers", and by this time he could not stop laughing... So apparently I had pressed some button in my car that locked my windshield wipers.

My friends are right, this could only happen to me. The good thing is that I didn't have to pay for repairs, the bad thing is, well there was no bad thing. My friends and family got a kick out of it, the mechanic now has a story to tell his friends, and I of course get to go Christmas shopping.

This is me and there are more stories where this came from.....
