that ain't no way to treat a lady !

... that's it ! i'm never going outside again !

External Link
August 19, 2004 4:57:07 AM from JoeUser ForumsJoeUser Forums

i had to go outside today. i know. awful !. i didn't want to, but i had to drop my car off to the mechanic. i forgot until a half hour before and had to haul ass in my pajama top and trackie bottoms. my car didn't want to go either. (iris the vw kombi has instincts like a faithful old dog. she just knows).

matters were complicated by the bone-dry fuel tank courtesy of the friend who dropped it back the night before. ah, well. it was only a right turn into oncoming traffic on the pacific highway in peak hour, after all. it was only a semi trailer. and it missed me by at least, oh, a good three inches. no biggie.

ofter enduring the four hundred motorists who kindly offered their support by swearing and beeping their horns at me, i wondered if they really thought i wanted to stand in the middle of a dangerous highway in my pajamas next to my car ?. perhaps they though the collective beeping of horns might make it start ?.

i was finally saved by a 17yo boy who called me 'lady' (and who i'm almost certain strained his groin muscle pushing my car off the road to the service station, but i was too embarrassed to say 'groin' so i didn't ask. imagine a woman twice your age in her pajamas on a main road talking about your groin ?. exactly.).

my husband was supposed to meet me at the mechanic. (emphasis in the supposed to). but he did not !. i tried to wait in my car but they took it away to work on it !. how i endured the sniggering over my 'jemima puddleduck' pajama top i'll never know.

by exhibiting the 'helpless female' behaviours of standing with my hand on my hip and saying and 'oh dear, whatever shall i do now that my husband has forgotten me ?', i had soon secured the attention of a greasy but friendly chap who offered to call me a cab.

i agreed and, resigned to my fate, sat in the 'workshop' trying very hard to pretend interest in a 'street machine' magazine, and trying even harder not to acknowledge the whispering and giggling. just when i thought it couldn't get worse, the yard dog wandered over and peed on my leg !.

then the cab turned up. how embarrassing. jemima puddleduck pajama top, dog pee running all down my leg into my slipper and wishing to god i'd brushed my bloody teeth, i climbed into the back of the cab to spare the driver the pong. he didn't take this well and spent the remaining trip shooting surly glances at me the in the rearview mirror.

(a lone passenger sitting in the back of a cab is considered an act of snobbery in australia. i bet this guy thought i had a helluva nerve thinking i was too good for him after i came out of a workshop in my pajamas and stinking like urine, but for once i was beyond explaining myself).

filled with relief at arriving home at last, i threw off my pee stained pants, ran through the loungeroom tearing off my top, arrived near the front window sans all clothing (except for some underpants so embarrassing they may have made things even worse by being there), to find a female neighbour waving and smiling at me through the glass.

'i have to go ...' i called out to her '... a dog peed on me'. she nodded, held up an envelope she was carrying, said 'we got your mail', put it down on the porch and went home. all without batting an eyelid. (country people !. amazing !).

i am never going outside again. i swear i'm not. within 2 hours my car had broken down, i'd almost gotten mowed down by a truck and had to be rescued by a little boy. i got peed on. i got laughed at. i got the cold shoulder from a cab driver and i flashed my neighbour.

great. if anybody wants me, i'll be hiding under the bed. hold my calls

Certainly a hyper-eventful day.

But mignuna, why didn't you shoo the dog away when it was peeing on you? And last but not the least could us JU'rs have a photo of you in your pajama top and trackie bottoms.

Oh dear,

So this is why those girly girls spend so much time getting ready before they go out - in case something like this happens? Maybe all that makeup is a dog peeing deflector as well?

Poor you

This reminds me of one time I woke up with probably a life-threatening hangover and remembered I had to meet my friend at the airport, so I ran out with mad Edward Scissorhands hair and in jeans and the tshirt I slept in, no bra- I got in a cab (in the back, which is ok in NYC)and got to the airport and missed them because I had to run to the bathrooms to throw up. By the time I was done heaving up absolutely everything I'd eaten in the past year (felt like) they'd left and then it started to rain and I couldn't get a cab for an hour and a half, and lewd men kept asking me if I was training for a wet tshirt contest.

So I feel your pain Vanessa, although I did laugh hehe sorry!

Thanks for the comment too..dreading the flight tomorrow!!Times like these I wish I could do that Sabrina thing where you think yourself a place and appear..teleport of something..

love,

Dyl xxx

Well, I certainly wouldn't care to trade your car outing for my refrigerator troubles. Although, at least your trauma only lasted a couple of hours, while my refrigerator will remain comatose for an entire week. (sigh) Good thing I don't mind eating out.

And I'm sure there are a lot of guys here who would gladly have offered to trade places with your neighbor.

yes, even though i did find your refrigerator drama rather amusing citahellion, i do pity you your inconvenience. (good opportunity to dine out, though, as you say. bon appetit !).

And I'm sure there are a lot of guys here who would gladly have offered to trade places with your neighbor


honestly citahellion, she was so nonplussed about the whole thing that she may not have even noticed someone trading places with her ! hehe. oh, and thanks ! *blushing*



What a story to tell your grandkids!


oh, romeo5000, the way i felt when that truck was coming, i didn't think i'd be even telling my hubby that afternoon ! lol

Mig I just love these blogs where you give us an insight into your wonderful life! Wow what an eventful day! Bless that boy for helping you! I'm afraid I'm one of these girly girls who can't leave the house without doing the whole hair, makeup etc etc! I really wish I wasn't like that, the bravest I'll get is, i won't wash my hair and sneak out to the shop very early in the morning, so not alot of people are about, and it is only like a ten min walk! That's about as good as it gets for me! i can't sit in the front with taxi drivers, I always think they're staring at my legs. Paranoid maybe.....! Loved this Mumsy xxx

Well, that was a bit of an adventure, huh?....I can't believe that all this happened at once....maybe you should go outside more and these things will spread themselves out and not happen in two hour period.....
