Pump Fake Pearl

Oooops she did it again. I was trying to get to work yesterday and that heifer Pearl refused to start. Seriously. She would not freaking crank, so yet again, I had to call my new best friends at AAA, who by now have regretted offering me a membership at half the price, to send out a battery boost. I wanted her towed to teach her a lesson, but AAA does not let you have 2 services sent to your vehicle. I don't know how a tow truck man with jumper cables constitutes 2 services, but whatever. These people have saved my tail twice this week, so I no longer argue with them.

The nice man, without big muscles, came to the rescue and boosted her battery right up. I then took the reins and drove the beast to the mechanic and explained to them that she received a new battery on Monday and that they needed to figure out what was draining that new battery.

I was able to hitch a ride to work where I dreaded getting that phone call from the mechanic. I think I was helping myself to some birthday cake, I think I know why my pants don't fit anymore part 2, when they called, but I returned their call almost immediately to hear the damage that Pearl had done.

But no...there was no damage. Just the battery cables were loose. And I didn't have to pay a thing. Thanks for the pump cake, I mean fake, Pearl. I appreciate you causing me a lot of unnecessary stress.
