Subject title courtesy of some random guys in the parking lot. Although I think they're chasing it around now, so I find them way less cute.
Anyway, so, this morning my dad calls. At 8:45 a.m. On a Saturday morning. To a college campus. Naturally I whisper-scream all groggily into the phone, "Why the hell are you calling me this early in the morning?!" And he says, "Because you need to get up and start working on your car." So I hang up on him, and he calls again, and I pick the phone up and slam it down. This gets repeated twice more, before I finally pick it up long enough to shout, "Stop calling me!" and he explains that he has to give me Geico information and shit. Which would have been, y'know, a great thing to tell me when I asked why he was calling.
::mutters::
So then I trek out to Guam to try out his new plan, which is this: "Try jiggling the steering wheel." I shit you now, that was the whole thing. I wander over to my dead car, try jiggling the steering wheel, moving it up and down, nothing works. Damn car.
Kristen's boyfriend Mike says he'll jump-start it, but I need to find out if Kristen has jumper cables first because I don't. How could my parents possibly have let me go off to school without jumper cables?
