Worst day ever

bitofabind · 27-09-2019 3:52pm #1

My best friend is getting married tomorrow. I’m driving down to the location in the west of Ireland. Hit a curb about 20 minutes and am sitting on a hard shoulder with a wonky tyre that is undriveable waiting for my insurance to send a local mechanic.

Rehearsal dinner is in 70 minutes. I’m hot, sweaty, traffic is cat and about 50 mins away even if the car was driveable.

Hey AH. Please entertain me...

Be grateful you are OK, nobody got hurt and you now have the perfect excuse to miss said rehearsal dinner.

PS.... Can you not change the tyre yourself or is the wheel banjacked?

If this is your worst day ever then consider yourself lucky.

Do you have a spare tyre?

If so, you could probably do with losing some weight. Go for a walk until the mechanic arrives.

Complain that there is no post office beside where you crashed. That’s what they all do down there.

I've eaten dinner loads of times before. Never had to practice in advance. Except that time I had the oysters... that was a shucking mess....

I believe the “rehearsal” part refers to the priest given a “run through” of what’s going to happen on the day,

The dinner is just the family, and wedding “party”, having a nice meal after.

punisher5112 · 27-09-2019 4:35pm

Strip and wave at everyone as they go by....

Make sure to be over the crash barrier if there is one..,

I take it you're to hot to change to spare unless it's one of those cars without....

How's the kerb?

nthclare · 27-09-2019 4:36pm

AHH it was yourself....

Seen you on the road there, nice wheels

punisher5112 · 27-09-2019 4:39pm

Seen a car do similar not long ago. It was a taxi and he smacked right into kerb and bang goes the tyre....

Another was a Mazda 6 flying along, glen of the downs then decided oh I'll turn here and went straight into the crash barrier.... Destroyed the front of the car.

Use floor mat to kneel on that's what I do then no dirty knee.

What the utter **** is a rehearsal dinner ?
Are people that f*cking narcissistic ?

Tell them to f*ck off with that shyte, they should be happy you are going to the poxy wedding in the 1st place.

A waste of money and absolutely ostentatious bllsh1t

I bet it wasn't the groom's Idea, another poor bstrd for the gallows...

A pagan style wedding a few hawthorn tree's and a marquee would be more like it, and a bonfire night with barbeques and entertainment... inside and outside...

Wtf is wrong with people these days...

Borrrrrinnnnngggg

freshpopcorn · 27-09-2019 4:51pm

Are you in Ireland OP?

I thought these rehearsal dinners were only an American thing.

Cee-Jay-Cee · 27-09-2019 4:54pm

So your going to rehearse eating your dinner? What are you all? Stupid??? Why would you need to rehearse something like that? Have you never eaten before? It’s pretty much the same routine as always.

In the meantime why not watch a video on how to change a wheel. It’s not hard but then again if your the type that needs to rehearse eating a fücking dinner then there’s probably no point.

I think a rehearsal dinner is a BS, but if you think it is important, videocall your friend on WhatsApp/Viber and rehearse whatever you need to say. You can eat the dinner later.

The wheel is ****ed is the official diagnosis. Suspension is broken, not safe to drive so currently being towed to a nearby garage where I’ll take a taxi to the hotel.

Thanks frinegirl for the perspective providing post!

PS yes I am hot, I’ll be a proper ride tomorrow in my bridesmaid dress if the bride doesn’t fire me for being an eejit

Big promises, you talk the talk but do you walk the walk.

punisher5112 · 27-09-2019 5:03pm

If you're that hot I'm sure many of us on here could have picked you up and given you a ride

nthclare · 27-09-2019 5:04pm

Hopefully you'll Go out the wedding night with a big bang...

All jokes aside, enjoy your weekend and thanks for the entertainment for the last hour

Who pays for that? Have to say I don't like the sound of that at all Emmet. Blowing an average of 20k to dress up like Peaky Blinders on a one-day bender in a hotel off the N7 is bad enough, now this? No. Enough.

enricoh · 27-09-2019 5:10pm

Just dont accept a lift off a kinda odd local driving a pick up.
It could turn into wolf creek ireland style!
Worst day ever then, no doubt!

skylikemake · 27-09-2019 5:10pm

I'll pray for you..

BorneTobyWilde · 27-09-2019 5:19pm

I used to know a girl who lived in a wheel, but she got a puncture, so she now lives in a flat .

some scants, you expect your family and close friends to turn out for something and you won't throw in a bitta dinner

Most people have an old run through so they don't make a tit of themselves on the day

and rather nice to have a quiet meal with just the main folk without the crowd there will be at the wedding.

Well sort of difficult when she mangled the suspension and even if wheel was changed it wouldn't have been drivable.

A lot of cars now don't even have spare wheel anymore just a can of some gunge that is supposed to inflate the wheel.

punisher5112 · 27-09-2019 6:11pm

The op says it herself she is hot and a ride......

I couldn't change a tyre and have no interest in learning. Breakdown assistance on my insurance would cover it.

To be fair, it doesn't require a whole lot of learning. Loosen wheel-nuts, jack car up, remove and replace wheel. Done. Ten minutes, max. It's a dirty job though - I can fully understand why someone wouldn't be arsed doing it themselves, especially if it's covered by their insurance.

Worst day ever
