I have a clean embarrassing moment. IT'LL SHOW YOU ALL HOW STUPID I AM AND HOW ONLY STUPID THINGS HAPPEN TO ME.
When I was, oh, about 21, I had just gotten a chevy nova. Not a BIG Chevy Nova, it was a model that was a small hatch back.
Anyway, before I had the Nova, I had a manual transmission mustang. Whenever I stopped my mustang, I'd leave it in gear so that it wouldn't roll.
I was real tired and working full-time and going to school and on my way to work one day I stopped at that gas station to get some smokes. Well, the gas station was kind of on a hill. I parked my car right in front of the door to the gas station.
It's hard to explain this story if you haven't seen the gas station I'm talking about, but anyway, I parked my car in front of the door to the station and accidentally left my car in "drive". My mind must've slipped back into Mustang mode. So, I go in and I'm standing in line waiting to pay. Well, a man comes in and he's just flailing his arms all over and he's yelling "SOMEBODY'S CAR IS ROLLING ONTO RTE 50 AND IT ROLLED PAST MY CAR AND HIT IT AND NOW IT'S ON RTE 50 HOLDING UP TRAFFIC."
I didn't pay any attention and thought, "What a WEIRDO." so I pay and go to walk out to my car and it's not there. hm...so I look and where is my car???
My car had apparently rolled out perfectly onto rte 50 and was sitting perfectly straight like it had somewhere to go...WITHOUT ME. Cars were backed up and honking and I got into my car. The flailing arm guy was standing by his car and he was yelling at me and he had called the cops to report the accident. See, his car was in the parking lot at the gas station and when my car rolled on by it nicked his car. You could NOT EVEN SEE THE NICK in his car. So, I'm standing there, embarrassed as all hell, and the guy is throwing this GIGANTIC fit and the cop said that we could call our insurance companies and file a claim, but since no one was driving the car when it happened, he wasn't going to ticket me.
D'OH. THERE YOU HAVE IT. THAT'S MY LIFE.[
