Tonight on FOX, When Good Samaritans Go Bad

As Kari and I left the Tallahassee Mall Friday night, we noticed the following note on the windshield of her VW Bug:

Hello -

Good luck
[squiggly lines]

My first question was WHY?! What in the name of all that is holy would make you want to pull a nail out of a tire?! Especially a nail that is sticking a good inch and half out of the sidewall. I’m sure it went a little something like this:

[person walking along hummming a circus tune] Hey look! Thar’s summin’ shinny in that thar tire. [insert a 15W light bulb over their head] I think I’ll do them a favor and pull it out. [fffffssssssssssssssssssssssss] Hey, what’s dat sound? Oh noes! What to do?! [insert a 30w light bulb over their head] I’ll stick this here nail back in! Thar, dat fixed it! I guess I should leave them a note…[insert a 5w light bulb over their head]…and tell’em what I done gone did.

Seriously, while I really appreciate the note, telling us what did was almost has bad as the fact that you did it. All you had to do was just say, “Hey I saw a nail sticking out of your tire and you should probably do something about it.” Even if you did pull the nail out and put it back in, we would have never known it. And trust me when I say us, but us being ignorant of that is a lot better than you being ignorant of the fact that pulling a nail out of a tire causes air to escape (i.e. GO FLAT).

And to add insult to injury, Kari didn’t have her jack in her car because a roommate had borrowed it. Thankfully there was enough air in the tire for us to make it back to her place. And yes, I got to practice my tire changing skillz once again. I’m seriously going to invest in a portable air generator and air impact wrench.

Just as soon as I open my own tire place.
