Sometimes I wish my life was as boring as "normal" people. For me, most days are adventures, and this week has been no different. For those of you who have been asleep for the last couple of months, I work in one state, and have my family in another, so drive the 800 mile return trip each weekend.
On my return drive on Monday (usually Sunday, but had a public holiday this week) I had an "incident" caused by a fcuk wit semi driver forcing me into the emergency lane when he decided at the last minute to overtake another semi. As I swerved around the drugged out dickkhead I sat on the horn, while giving him the bird. As I looked up, I saw that he was looking the other way..........
Trouble was, as I was performing this death defying stunt, I ran over some debris (ironically, the remains of a blown out truck tyre) which ripped a hole in the sidewall of my new front tyre, causing it to instantly deflate. I wobbled and wallowed across three lanes of traffic at 70 miles an hour, until I came to a sweaty halt. The big brave trucker, who didn't let out a peep while he thought I was able to chase him down now saw the opportunity to give it to me as he went by, the weak gutted krunt.. .....
Anyhoo, I did the worlds fastest pit stop as cars and trucks tried to rub paint off the ol Subaru (and me) and apart from dirty hands and a filthy mood, I was good to go. I scanned every truck stop between Melbourne and Canberra for that truck, but didn't get the opportunity to thank him for another exciting adventure, which pissed me off some.
Well that's two near misses since I started the new job, I just hope it's not "third time unlucky" this weekend, my new "pimp mobile" gets delivered tomorrow, and I'd like to drive it at least once..........
