re: Aggy Board OT Discussion Thread

OT even for OT:

Old friend once told me "Sometimes you just gotta hit that dumbass button" when I burned most of my face off with a slow cooker. Well I slammed the crap out of the dumbass button today.

Maid comes a few times a month to our home and normally brings her 13-yr old daughter with her. Daughter has wanted to make some money on her own and so has taken to washing our cars. Today she asked if she could move wife's car back under the carport when done. I figure, "Sure, why not? I was driving at her age and if she's asking, she's surely driven before." REALLY bad assumptions. She started the car fine, but was moving I thought too fast. I holler "Hit the brake!", and soon realized I was screwed. She looked at me funny and said "This one?" before punching the gas. I managed to hop up and get my right foot into the car just before it hit the house. I hit the door hard enough to ruin it. I'm swelling up in several places and will no doubt pay for my dumbassedness tomorrow. Radiator busted and pushed into the engine plus lots of cosmetic damage plus pushing a car-width's worth of bricks in. Plus, of course, and most importantly, I'm getting "the look". Thankfully youngster was not hurt at all, so it could have been much worse.

So... how was your day?
