Sometimes it s better to tell the truth……………………….am I right or still stupid?
Sunday, august 31st, 2008.
My Sunday routine is to go to temple around 12 o’ clock and then go to my friends place and hang out the whole day. The plan yesterday was nothing much different except this stupid incident. I got up around 10o’ clock being the lazy guy I am and no one else around me to push me or cheer me up to brush, I at last did that at 45 minutes later. Then took my bath as I was going to temple otherwise would have postponed it indefinitely as was Saturday.
Now the big thing, took my car out of the parking lot and saw a couple of bags in the back seat and I didn’t like it. The idea struck me immediately, to put the bags in trash inside my block itself. The job itself is not considered big and I didn’t do anything stupid there, I put the bag in trash and came to my car to open it again to continue my schedule. The car was locked, all the four doors, the engine was running, the A/C too. (cool aaahhh) Then only I did realize that I have started the engine and locked all the doors. I ran around the car like a dog trying everything possible, even tried to open the bonnet or boot, oops no way.
I came to a conclusion that the only way out is to get AAA (car service) guys to open it for me. The only way get AAA membership on a Sunday is through internet. For that I have to enter my home but the key was with the car key inside the running car with doors locked. Woooow, what an idiot I am….
Then the next best option is to ask the neighbors, I went to 10 people house whom I have never even seen before, asking for cell phone (yes, my cell phone was also inside the car safely), internet or anything regarding AAA. The only answer, NO, some people did come and look at my car but they didn’t have internet, so no goods for me. At last I went to the next block and convinced a guy that the only option I have is to try and call AAA and ask for any idea. I called the AAA, they said the only way to register is through internet on Sunday and otherwise I have to wait till Tuesday to get membership through phone. At that moment the guy who gave me the cell phone said he has a AAA and would be able to help me out of this and that too free of cost.
The locksmith came 20 mins later and opened it in just two minutes for me; I thanked the American guy for taking pain to help me out in that situation. Indeed it was a great help at the right time.
A BIG THANKS TO MIKE.
