Yesterday, my wife had gone and got me a new used tire for my car before I had woken up because my right front tire would go flat everyday. I have a tire inflator in my car that plugs in and works pretty quick. So, off I went to work the usual 1 hour before I have to start in case something happens that I won't be late. Lo & behold, wouldn't you know; my new used tire started to make my car do the shimmy, shimmy shake, and the shake, rattle, & roll. I pulled over to investigate and the pesky tire released all air necessary to keep itself fat & happy. I opened the trunk and BAM! The spare was Phlatt! So I pulled it out of the trunk and the steel cords were showing and I grabbed the tire by them and cut my hand up some. So below some stuff in the trunk (the boot) I found a small "donut" tire!
So I put the donut tire on and got back on the road.
I immediately began to hear the baby tire groaning under the weight of my vehicle. I PULLED over once more.
PHLATT! OMG! What now? I plugged in the tire inflator and filled that bad boy up! Back on the road again.
I put on my hazard lights and cruised at a hazardous 35 mph the rest of the way to work. One mile from work, some driver seemed to think that the dark blue car with the hazard lights flashing and the little donut tire was invisible and pulled a full car and a 1/2 length out onto the highway in front of ME! I swerved into oncoming traffic to avoid it. Am I supposed to make it to work or what???
I made it to work with ten minutes to spare!
So, work was fun then I clocked out.
My daughter and I are waiting at a red light ready to turn left, and we hear a bam, boom, bang, hiss...
Believe it or not, it's not my car this time! 
I looked in the rear view mirror and seen a car scraping along the curb and sending sparks trailing behind it.
Then it's no longer viewable through that mirror.
I look out the passenger window to see this gray Pontiac jump a curb and knock down a wooden pole holding the traffic signals and then flipping twice and landing upside down across the street. When my light turned green, my heart was bounding in my chest.
I drove real fast and parked across the street in the Wal Green parking lot and put on the rubber gloves which were still in my pocket from work, and my daughter & I ran across the highway to see if we could help. Evidently the 19 year old guy had a seizure. His 17 year old girlfriend just had a bump on her head. She must have crawled out the rear window. (Rear hole, no window)
I told my daughter to call 911 and 4 minutes later, there were firetrucks, cops and ambulances...oh my! I removed the bigger pieces of his car and I put them on the grass with his tire. The tires rim was shattered into like 6 or 7 pieces. They used the jaws of life to extract him and I just thought, "I really shoulda stayed in bed!"
Anyway: "How was your day?"
