Partners dad bought the eldest step daughter a first car - got her a VX S sedan.. I was dirty already coz don’t think an inexperienced kid should be driving that sort of car for their first.. none the less car was still purchased “from his work mate”
Had to do school drop off this morning and use the car, halfway to school 1 it shits itself (suspect alternator). So there I am parked on the side of the road at 8am with three kids.
Book taxi, drop eldest to high school, middle to primary, youngest to childcare. $60
Walk from childcare back to the car, still dead.. walk to dial a tow, book tow truck. $120
Wait 90min for tow truck, do some work, get dropped off to mechanic.
Now staring down the barrel of $600 worth of work to the **** piece of shit car I didn’t want her to have in the **** first place all coz pops is a bogan and thinks commodores are bees knees!
To add some gravy I’m now standing in the freezing cold rain waiting for a bus to take me to work so I can catch up on the mountains of urgent work I need to finish.
Absolutely filthy.
And I thought I was having a bad day..........
That tops mine.
Send the invoices to the dad to pay.
