Who has two thumbs and four new Goodyear tires? THIS GIRL.
We blew a tire yesterday, and seeing as the government has yet to identify me as a national treasure and pay be handsomely for being such, I am still very much broke.
So, I took the car to a tire center right by our house, and asked if they had any used tires, or how much it would cost to replace one tire. The guy looked at the tires on my car, and told me he has NO IDEA how the car is not sitting on 4 flats instead of one. For those of you wondering if the guy was trying to scam me, he wasn't. My tires were more bald than Mr. Clean.
He then gave me a quote for their cheapest tires, and I ...well, I started crying. I said I had no job and almost no money and CRAP what the hell why are tires so expensive.
Then, Mr-Tire-Man-Who-Should-Be-A-Saint offered me the greatest deal under the sun: $25, for all four. I got coupon on top of discount on top of coupon. The guy essentially gave me four free tires and just charged me for the install. I was so happy...I cried again.
He told me things would get better, and to focus on the positive, that he knows I will get a job really soon, and when I do, to remember to come back to his store when I need tires again. And I was like "I will sir" but in my head all I could think was "THANK YOU FOR THE FREE TIRES! HOW ABOUT I FOCUS ON THAT! FREEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
Then he went about putting new tires on my car, and I went about waiting in the waiting room chatting with my friend Ann. Then, I get off the phone and notice my reflection in the store window:
In my haste to change the tire, I just threw on anything. "Anything" consisted of a white t-shirt and a Superman bra. The Superman bra is bright blue and has the red Superman symbol where the nipples would be. And guess what? While I was changing the tire? It was raining something fierce. My super white t-shirt was now super see-through. I didn't realize it at the time, but I might have gotten this super deal because I accidentally flashed my Super Goodies at Mr. Tire Man.
It could have been worse, I could have been wearing NO BRA, and mercy would that have been a sight. But then again, maybe I would have gotten a free CAR.
Now excuse me, I have to go focus on the positive, while doing donuts in my condo's parking lot.
The bra sounds fantastic – where did you get it from? You’re gonna tell me you got it AGES ago aren’t you?
ReplyDeleteI bought some gorgeous cute boyleg underwear that says “exit only” logo’s on it… very cute!
I know you will get employed soon Enna! You just need to be patient.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry about the super bra :( But if you plan on doing it again, try your luck during the job interview. And make sure the person interviewing you is a guy.
Speaking of full frontal...Wow. I've never gotten anything free for my goodies. I'd say let's capitalize on this, but...No.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, please don't cry! You'll get a job soon, I just know it. Good luck, honey!
Definitely ages ago...and I think Sears of all places. Maybe Kmart...I seriously have no idea. Sorry!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your support!
ReplyDeleteIf I could pull it off, I would be wearing it to my interview today...
ReplyDeleteIsn't it time to give this man some free advertising for the tire deal? (regardless of what inspired him, we have to take our blessings where we can find them!) We could just say that the girl with the Superman bra sent us!
ReplyDeleteLMAO. See, I linked to the company, but I am not going to say which location, because seriously I do not need 15 people showing up dressed like Supergirl. Plus it seemed like a very hush hush deal and I don't want to get him in trouble if he wasn't supposed to do that!
