๐ŸŽ„ Misfortune Cookie Christmas Calendar ๐ŸŽ„



๐ŸŽ 7๏ธโƒฃ ๐ŸŽ



Day 7. I just got home. Car broke down. Terrible story. Perfect time for the Misfortune cookie.

"You're too old to be young!"

โ„๏ธ ๐Ÿ”” โ„๏ธ



Haha...asshole!

Now my todays personal misfortune.

I was on my way to the new job. 12 cute dogs waited for me. I took the Alfa Romeo GT who has been a

DIVA!

lately.

Clutch issues, the car bitching and complaining about it being too wet or too cold...Alfa Romeo stuff. Now the meeting point was 18 miles/ 30km away and I was driving in good spirits. Almost there I came up to a bigger intersection in a city nearby. Lunch time, lots of traffic. I made it to a red traffic light in the middle lane.

Stop...shift to 1st gear...green...drive...drive!...driiiiv...

CLUTCH NOT RESPONDING!

Can't move forward! Cars behind me! Sirens in the back! Supposed to move over! Can't! Trying! Trying again! Panic!

๐Ÿ˜ฑ

2 youngsters coming to the rescue. Gotta thank the youth of today, they are not as bad.

Rolling the car to the side! In front of a No parking! medical entrance sign!



Sweating, calling Gianna to cancel, calling the ADAC automobile club to get me towed home.

Ring ring ring ring ring...please hold the line...๐Ÿ˜–

Trying again.

Ring ring ring ring ring...try again later...๐Ÿ˜ก

Trying again.

Ring ring ring ring ring...I connect you to the right person...click connect...I'm not the right person I connect you to the tower...click connect...we will be there in 75 min.

Waiting!



Still waiting...Oh someone lost his hubcap...



Still waiting...Dingdingding...



Tram coming through!



Still waiting...The sky behind me looks like this, awkward...



Still waiting...Gosh it feels like ages...



Not waiting anymore.

The tow truck showed up and guess what? The batterie meanwhile thought...

'Screw you Anna, I might die as well!'

The guy attested me a broken car. Thanks. Who would have known. To his defense I have to say that he was super nice.

I was 18 miles from home and because of Corona the towers aren't supposed to take you as a passenger. I would have had to get me a cab, which would have cost a fortune. He skipped his rule and towed me and the dead Alfa home.

๐ŸŽ„ Ahhhh the Christmas spirit! ๐ŸŽ„



Need a Schnaps now!

๐Ÿ˜‰

๐ŸŽ See you tomorrow! ๐ŸŽ
