I'd have no luck at all! Who else do you know that could be driving down a highway in the kuntry, hit a pothole, & break the axle on her car. To top it off, the car was towed 30 miles in the opposite direction from where I worked (50 miles the other way. Knew someone headed the right direction to go to work the next day, so took the free ride thinkin' I could rent a car when I got there, Guess what. The only rental cars they had where I worked could not be turned in where my car wuz when my car wuz reddy, and the only mode of transportion that wud take me from Point A to Point B was a taxi --The guy who owned the cab company told me that there would be no problem gettin' me there by 5:00 when they closed (for a price $$$$$$!), but the guy had no conception of time, apparently. Wondered if I was goin' to be stranded outside the body shop all nite.
Then there was the time I was drivin' down one o' dem divided 4-lane hi-ways with one o' dem meridian thangs down the middle. There I wuz mindin' my own business, and an 18-wheeler truck tire kums bounding over the meridian & hits my car. Durn near hit my windshield. Kep drivin awhile but the car started gettin hot cuz my radiator was busted.
And then there wuz the time I was drivin' along on a summer day & saw a deer run across the road. Thot that was weird, then heard a big thud. There was another one chasin' it, and it ran into the side of my car.
Jes' don't seem to have much luck with cars.
Or with anything else, for that matter.
'Specially husbands and boyfriends, but that's another story.
I do try to plan ahead sometimes--- For instance, I always carry an extra set o' keys in the car. Trouble is, I've locked my keys in the car only 3 times my whole life. All 3 times, my purse wuz locked up in my car. lThey jes don't give women enuf pokits in their clothes. Guess their designed by men who want women to look stupid.
Then there was my exercise program. They say it's good to use hand weights when you exercise. Trouble is, I keep breakin' thangs with 'm -- glass table tops, ceiling fan lights, vases. I jes' get too wound up & forgit where I am.
Then I do tend to forgit thangs once in awhile. Like the location of the party with the pot luck dinner for Christmas. I signed up to brang appetizers. Thought I was gittin' there early enuf to put them out, but no one else was arriving yet, so I started driving around lookin' for the party. Tried to call everyone I could think of, but they'd already left. Found it, but they were alreay nearly finished with the main course. I guess I know what my supper will be for the next week.
