o this is not my vehicle stuck in the swimming pool but this is literally how I felt the other day at the car wash. So Wednesday morning I was pretty early for a meeting I had at school and didn't feel like hanging around. I thought I had enough time to go have a car wash. There was one person in line before me but he was leaving. This was working out perfect. I would go through the car wash and get back to school with time to spare. No, no that wasn't really what was in the plan for the day. No instead I go through the car wash and begin to go through the blower part but as I apply my foot to the gas peddle I feel my tires spinning. I stop the execelerating and I try again. Spin spin spin is all I get! I"M STUCK! I'm stuck inside the car wash. I think oh I'll just back it up and rev it over the little part I'm stuck on. No, no that wasn't really what was going to happen. I check my rear view mirror and realize the next car is right behind me. I can't back up. I try to wave at her fromt the rear view mirrow to tell her I'm stuck but she doesn't get it. Meanwhile the wind thingy is blowing all the water droplets off my car and I have to squeegy my self out the door amisdt the blower because the car wash is so tight. I try to tell the lady behind me to back up but of course she doesn't get it. So here I am screaming over the noise of the blower trying to tell the lady to back up but she won't roll her window down so she can hear me because I guess she thinks I'm going to mug her or something like that in the middle of the car wash! I finally get her to roll the window down and tell her the situation and she says to me and I quote, "I don't understand." ARE YOU FREAKIN KIDDING ME! Do I need to speak Greek? Pig Latin? Spanish? French? What part of BACK UP YOUR CAR don't you get! I give up and go to the other cars and ask them to back up because by now we are three deep. Finally everyone backs up and the lady behind me finally understands and backs up and I squeegy myself back into my car, back up and punch the gas to get over the little bump that wouldn't let me through in the first place. Needless to say I got back to the school and my thing was nearly over. The whole thing took like 15 minutes, seriously, to get three cars to back up.
