I almost died today....................

Ok, well not really, but it was a very scary situation for about a minute. I was driving to work this morning and one of the tires on Cort's car blew out. So it starts rattling, and I make my way to the side of the road. I then call my friend at work to come help me change it. He get's completely done changing it when I realize that the other front tire is also done. It has become so bald that I can literally see the inside of the tire. Sacry right? Anyway, so I apologize for making him drive all the way out to me, laying on the freeway and getting dirty, but I am not about to go anywhere. So I call roadside assistance and they say, yep he will be there in an hour. Really, really an hour. The dealership was like .2 miles up the road. Never-the-less I waited. Thank goodness my magazines came this weekend, and I had something to read. So I call my other friend to come pick me up not knowing that the driver would have taken me to work. The driver loads up the car, my friend calls and says that he will be there in 2 minutes. The driver says, ok let's go. I said oh, its ok I have a friend coming. He said, well I can't just leave you hear, what if you get ran over? Thanks for that image. I said, well I can't call my friend who is 1 minute away and tell him nevermind, so he stands there and waits. Question, if I were to potentially get run over, is he going to throw himself in between me and the car? Otherwise, it is pretty pointless that he is there. Anyway, we wait, and it is the longest 2 minutes ever, probably because it was like 10. So I had to try and make small talk with this man. He proceeded to tell me that he is very suprised that the tire did not damage the car, or that I did not get in an accident. Look buddy, I am already not having a great morning, is it really necessary for you to keep telling me the many ways I could have died this morning? I mean really. Well good news, everything is good, the car is fixed and I am not dead.
