I've had so many that my nickname has become 'Mihoshi' from Tenchi, which believe you me, is far from being complimentary..
I guess the latest one was when I was pooch-sitting for my manager. I drove the car to her house to feed and walk the dog. Except it turned out to be as constipated as all hell and I had to spend about half an hour watching it squat in labour. We were going to be there all night, so I figured I'd give it a bath in her kitchen sink. To cut a long story short, I ended up shampooing the dog's rear end with mild detergent as no pooch shampoo was to hand, made a complete mess of the kitchen, then went outside to realize that the half hour had turned into 2 hours, hence the car that I had left running now had a flat battery. No phone numbers to hand, stuck in the middle of nowhere, I had to walk home in the pitch black for a mile, trying not to think that the frogs burping in the river near by weren't something out of a Stephen King novel. I basically freaked myself out entirely over a stupid initial minor problem became the usual melodrama.
This is incredibly mild in comparisson to most other events I've experienced. At the end of the day it turns dorkish moments into infantile excitement, which adds spice to life and keeps me laughing. There's nothing like being your own jester for entertainment.. |
