People Share That Time Their Car Broke Down In The Most Hilarious Way
"When I was 17, I got my first flat tire. I live in the country and take backroads so when you pull off to the side of the road, there is almost always a downward slope into a ditch. So I pull over and am plugging along taking the tire off, feeling real confident. I get the lug bolts off and need a place to sit them while I switch the tires. So I put them on my bumper. The thing is the car's at a slant because of the ditch.
"Finally, an EMT truck came. Again, I thought I was getting saved, but he only pushed my car onto the side of the road with his vehicle and handed me a pack of flares to use because it was getting dark. It was another two hours later before a tow truck came and ended my misery. "When my parents called me in the middle of all this, it was to laugh and tell me that footage of my car was on the evening news and I had caused a slow down all the way to Virginia.""Every single gas station makes it pretty clear which nozzle is for gas and which is for diesel, except for the one by my parents' place. It's very old and the labels are all rubbed off. I had a fifty-fifty shot of getting the correct fuel into my SUV and I chose...poorly.
"It was Thanksgiving morning, and we were on a hike nearby my parents' house, where we would be having Thanksgiving dinner that afternoon. The sun was shining, and we were doing one of our favorite activities together, so it was the perfect proposal setup, except for one thing: The ring was way too small. Because I NEEDED to get that quintessential 'I’m engaged!' ring photo, I jammed it onto my finger anyway — and then realized that for the life of me I could not get it off.
"So we ended our hike early and headed back to the car so we could go to the ER quickly, get it taken care of, and then head to my parents house for dinner where we would surprise them with our engagement and our ridiculous ring story. As we started the drive, I was still attempting to try to get the ring off with floss, lotion, soaking my hand in cold water — the works. And then the car broke down.
