CAR WASHES R HARD! An Adventure in Three Episodes

[mattm04]

Yeah, those car wash dryers, their a killer. All that wind will squish your car into a tiny cube, with you inside and it flick in the the Dumpster out back.

SHe must be related to those folks who pull the "out of order" signs off of vending machines and parking meters, and then go batshit angry when the machine "takes their money!"

I've concluded that it's not that they can't understand it, just that they can't understand how it could possibly apply to them.

Because, of course, they're special.

"Touch Screen To Start"....Only way it could be simpler than that is if you go out with them & touch the screen yourself...lol.

I think your stories just gave me an aneurysm!!!

Gah. 'what's new about it?'

She sat there in the wash until the dryer cycled off, and then swiveled back up.

Then she drove out, and came into the store.

My thing was, she watched the big metal thing swing down. Was it that much of a stretch of the imagination to picture the thing swinging up?

Oh yeah, yeah it was.

What had me about the story was that after carefully evading the dryer, she complained about the car wash not drying her car.

What grown-ass adult near my age (40) doesn't know how a car wash works??? I loved 'em when I was a kid, and I love 'em still. They haven't really changed all that much in the last 40 years. Brushes for jets, maybe, but the basic principal is still the same. Drive onto the track, turn your car off, glide through and watch the show!

Ok, my birth certificate says I'm 40. My brain refuses to advance past, oh, 7 or so.
