To anyone who isn't already aware, I have a great fear of car washes. One time when I was a teen, I got stuck in a car wash. I have never returned since, up until today. It also doesn't help that I know of several people whose cars have been hit by the automatic washers.
Anywho, now that I have a better car, I have to keep it clean. I no longer have a pile of crap car that I don't care what happens to the paint and look of it.
I swallowed hard and decided to go to the car wash next to the place I get my oil changed, because they keep the exit doors open, so that you are not fully enclosed and "stuck" in there.
As I said before, I haven't been to a car wash in probably 6 or 7 years. The last I remembered, when the person before you leaves, the door opens for you. Apparently, this one doesn't. It just stops flashing "In use" and you are supposed to drive up, pay, and then it opens. I didn't know that. I saw it stop flashing "in use" but it didn't say "Enter".
So I kind of sat there idling.
I saw an old man get out of the car behind me. Ok, what's he doing?
Next thing I know, he's walking up to my car (because let's face it, I'm already having a mild panic attack at the thought of even DOING THIS!!!) and he grumbles at me "You need to get moving already!"
I was still so nervous that I didn't even have the nerve to tell him he was retarded for going up to a stranger's car, just because I'm a cute little blonde doesn't mean I may not be packing heat or be crazy. It's not the 40s anymore, you can't just go up to people's cars and start yelling at them!
I just stuttered "Ok uh sorry about that..." and went up to pay. I aimed wrong and ended up having to get out to slide my card. He looked beside himself. Oh fuck you old douche. You're probably retired and have all day to do this. I don't.
So I finally get inside and all went well. I just wish I had bought a higher grade of wash, because a few of the dead bugs from my daily commute to work were still stuck to my grill and by my license plate. But all the dust and crap is gone
And yes, I will be able to do this again
