Geez!
Fiasco is definitely the right word. Good for you for getting through it and not just throwing in the towel!

Oh no, that is awful! I'm impressed that you tried….I think I would've called my hubby to get him on his way or AAA :)

This was before you read my blog, but I had two flat tires in three weeks! And I don't know how to change a tire, at all! So I am super impressed that you got that far! So sorry you had to go through that. I would be so frustrated and I think I would be cursing a lot as well. Ugh, what a nightmare!!!

Oh wow! I am sorry to hear that you had such a rou...

Oh wow! I am sorry to hear that you had such a rough day! Great to hear you got all of that Christmas shopping done!

Oh wow! I can change my tires now but I almost always have trouble loosening those nuts. :)
I had AAA before until I realized that they are only good in non-emergency/time frame situations. Once my car veered off road and into a ditch in a rainy day with tornado warning. Called AAA and I didn't see anyone until about 1 hour later. Boyfriend had a wreck out-of-state in a snow storm. AAA wasn't able to get to him. He got someone else instead. :)

I hate flat tires. Makes me almost thankful for my recent run of dead batteries. Those at least are easily solved by a call to AAA. ;o)

Oh, I'm so sorry, that just sucks! But you ke...

Oh, I'm so sorry, that just sucks! But you kept it positive- at least you got the Xmas shopping done AND great socks to review!!!

You need to get AAA! Then you just have 3 steps. Step 1, call AAA, Step 2, wait for them to get there, Step 3, let them do it!

I feel like I have earned the right to say this. I have changed probably 10 flat tires (living and working in a very industrial area will do that), and 2 flat tires ago, after I changed it with the help of some nice bystanders, my dealership "lost" my jack, so I now no longer have one. I learned this during my last flat tire. The one from our truck is too big to fit under our car. I am stuck calling AAA until we buy a new one. They are not cheap, so I have just been calling AAA every since.

That is sucky and funny all at the same time. You ...

That is sucky and funny all at the same time. You are a tougher cick than I am, I would've called the nearest shop and paid them to tow me or fix it.

Ugh- this sounds horrible! I hate when things like...

Ugh- this sounds horrible! I hate when things like this happen!!!

Ugh, hate flat tires! Good job, though!

2011-12-14T17:45:03.650-07:00

oh my gosh this sounds like the worst morning ever! i would have had a melt down, been lying on the ground of the parking garage crying, and probably bashed in all of the windows to my car. changing a tire is tricky, tried to do it once in -20 degree weather and it took me almost an hour to loosen the bolt thingys because it was so flippin cold, next time it happens i'm just going to abandon my car and buy a new one. seems like it would be so much easier.

you are way better than me I would not know where ...

2011-12-14T16:18:23.767-07:00

you are way better than me
I would not know where to start
I mean kind of,..but I would not attempt to fix it myself!

Agh, flat tires are the worst!!! I've had so many flats lately too--maybe there is something going around :)

2011-12-14T15:51:57.142-07:00

Whoa that sucks, but wow talk about handy in a crisis. I'd have no clue where to start with a dang flat tire. Can't wait to hear about the socks!

2011-12-14T15:18:56.095-07:00

Oh man that seems like a totally crazy tire debacle! I bet you are glad to be done with that and for some reason it reminds me of the crazy times I have had...at least in the future you will laugh!

Oh man. Sorry you had such a hard time. Sometime...

2011-12-14T14:53:01.980-07:00

Oh man. Sorry you had such a hard time. Sometimes things are so frustrating all you can do is laugh when you really feel like crying. Glad you were able to get your shopping done though. At least Running Ricig's stranger stopped to help. When I had a flat, 3-5 guys walked by and didn't even ask to help. I had to change it all by myself. At least I can say I changed a tire by myself I guess:)

2011-12-14T14:41:23.112-07:00

AHHH! So frustrating, but also told in a hilarious manner, so well done.

I've actually only had one flat tire in my life (knock on wood) and had a semi similar experience. I got a flat, a super hot guy walked by (I was in the city) and asked if I needed help changing the flat. I obviously said yes. He pulled out my spare and it was flat too. I called a tow. lol
