Yep, it happened to me.  As I was heading out of our subdivision last Saturday evening, the front driver side tire of my 96′ Chrysler Sebring fell to the pavement with a sickening grid.  The car was blocking traffic and I had no phone to call for help.  I wasn’t that far from our house and I got a quick ride from somebody back to my house to call AAA for a tow.

I arrived back at the scene 15 minutes later and found 2 police cars waiting for me.  When I showed up 1 of the police officers drove off, going on about his business I guess.  The second one didn’t seem too happy.

In a militant, disgusted voice the police officer shouts: “SIR!, DO YOU THINK IT WAS A GOOD IDEA LEAVING YOUR VEHICLE WITH NO FLASHERS ON IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD!!??”

A feeling dumb and frustrated Ryan says:  “No, I didn’t have a phone in my car so I went home, called for a tow truck and they will be here in about 10 minutes.”

A now seemingly happy and jovial police office says:  “Oh, ok, no problem.”

After doing some “work” in his car he comes out and angrily shouts again “SIR, WHAT TOW TRUCK COMPANY DID YOU CALL!!???”

“Howard’s Towing” says Ryan.  “Oh ok, no problem” says police officer, happy again.

Guess the officer had some mood swings.  I finally got my car towed and as of today I’m still waiting on it to be fixed.

We’ll be seeing the family over Labor Day weekend and enjoying the Cincinnati Riverfest Fireworks!

See you all soon!

Ryan
