This really hilarious thing that happened to me
August 13, 2005
My girlfriend's cat jumped out my second story window. The first night I was catsitting. Now I have to comb the animal shelters for a non-dead replacement cat that is huge, fluffy, black with a white spot on its chest, and sounds like Mickey Mouse on helium. All before my girlfriend gets back next Sunday.
I hit a buried rock with my lawn mower. Instead of knocking the blade loose, it knocked something loose inside the engine and it now vibrates like an industrial tamper and jumps all over the lawn. If I use the lawn mower my arms turn numb and I feel dizzy. My manual lawn mower cuts short grass only and leaves weeds standing royally above the lawn.
My cell phone died after four months of owning it. The cell phone store gave me an old loaner while I wait for mine to be fixed. It's been nine weeks. I forgot the hole in my pocket and the loaner phone shattered into its components on the sidewalk. I put it back together and called the cell company about whether mine was fixed. They routed me to the store where I bought it. The cell phone store doesn't take phone calls and the answering machine told me to call the cell company.
The CD player in my car died. Instead of getting it fixed I bought an MP3 player and an adapter for the tape deck in my car. So I can have my entire music collection with me and play it on any stereo. My girlfriend's car stereo won't play the adapter tape. In my car it sounds like hearing your neighbor play music inside their house with their windows shut.
My basement takes on water like an uncaulked boat. I spent boatloads of cash over a year to improve drainage around my yard that now keeps water away from my house. My basement is still wet. I went downstairs yesterday to look for my girlfriend's cat and saw water flowing out of my kitchen sink's drain pipe onto the concrete floor. I'm now out of cash.
I was hit by a car and knocked unconscious while sledding the same year ten years ago. I now see fuzzy spots in my left eye. I had a perfectly enjoyable MRI and didn't want to leave. The radiologist's report said the fuzzy spots are from recent repetetive bodily trauma like what they see with construction workers using jackhammers or industrial tampers. I recycled my lawn mower and bought an electric one.
