Possessed

My car is fucking possessed. I went over to Robin’s tonite to drop off her bday present. On my way back, my car thought it would drive itself. I was coming up to a red light, so I took my foot off the gas and waited a second or 2 before putting on the brake. Well, when my foot was in between pedals, my car decided to accelerate ALL BY ITSELF!!! My foot was in mid-air, and my car was speeding up … 20mph … 30mph … 35mph. Freaked me out. Thank goodness I had a ways to go before I HAD to stop. And I had to mash down the brake too. The roads were a little slick because of the snow *, but even after I was stopped, I had to keep the pedal mashed down because the car wanted to keep going. The wind was from a different direction than where I was coming from (I was being pushed north and the wind was FROM the west-northwest). After I got going again after the light turned green, everything was back to normal. I’d take my foot off the gas and I’d start to slow down. That just freaked me out.

* The last time I went to Robin’s … when I left it was snowing and blowing like crazy. I think next time she needs to come over HERE. LOL

Last straw?

Today might have been the last straw for me and my bank. They’ve really been pissing me off lately. Charging me $7.95 for a feature I don’t use. They refunded the fee last month only to charge me again THIS month for the same damn thing … which I STILL don’t use. And I go to check my account tonite … there’s a $3.00 “Service Charge” on there. Excuse me!!! What the HELL am I being charged a service charge for? I didn’t overdraw my account. I’m going to be calling them tomorrow at noon and bitching.

I believe that this weekend (if I don’t start sooner), I’m going to research the other banks in town and possibly close my account with this one and open up a new account at another bank. I’m not putting up with being charged fees just for the hell of it.
