Car spun out
Content warning for like, car accidents and cops and stuff, be safe friends.
Yeah last night was a fucking nightmare. I was on my way home from a pretty medium day at work, and I was on the phone with my partner just chatting.
I was going slower than usual cause the weather had been cold and snowy all day and the roads were super wet, but I wasn't going slow enough I guess cause my car lost all grip on the road and fully spun out. I got extremely lucky and ended up rather gently being deposited into a ditch, with the worst of it being a slightly damaged bumper.
But then I was freaking out because as I started to spin out I lost phone connection so my only option was to call 911.
The whole time while I waited I was flagging down passing cars to make sure they went slow, because all I could think about was how I didn't want anyone else to suffer my fate, and even worse, spin out into me!
As you can expect the fucking pigs were useless and they kept feeding me misinformation on what was going to happen, saying that if I called a tow truck it would count as a crash, and that if I didnt have cash the tow place would make me go down there to pay with card. Both were untrue of course because cops are all bastards. The only purpose they served was calling the tow, because they can't tow me 'because then they'd be liable'. Fucking useless...
Luckily the tow guy was a real sweet heart. He made things simple and even followed me all the way back home to make sure I got there safe, and let me pay with card when I got there.
This was all after I got off work by the way so it was around midnight.
Also what's the point of having a signal if I can't call anyone unless I'm connected to a data network!?!?!?!??
Luckily, my car was fine so I had the heat going the entire time, and at the end of the day i got home safe and the tow bill wasn't too bad.
But damn, this is the first freeze of the winter, and now all I can think about is how the future will be. I'm tired and stressed and I went ahead and called out for the day.
Just send good vibes and be safe out there.
