Adventures in Helmeting: #536278

1.) Leave for work 5 minutes late, guaranteeing that some jackass has parked in your "special" parking space.

2.) As you're walking out to car, notice that windshield is covered in thick layer of....ice?

3.) Curse cold weather as you continue to approach car, knowing full well that you have NO SCRAPER because you were a dumbass and left it in Japan.

4.) Stand outside door that is frozen shut and curse it, because it, IT! WILL! MAKE! YOU! LATE!

5.) Stand outside right front door. Repeat Number 4. Jerk on door repeatedly until you look like you're having a seizure.

6.) Stand outside left rear door. Repeat 4 and 5.

7.) Stand outside right rear door. Repeat 4 and 5. Jerk, jerk, jerk, until BEHOLD! (and HARK! THE HEALD! ANGELS SING!) car door opens.

8.) Deposit school stuff in back seat and crawl over it while a.) holding door so it does not bang into neighbor's car and b.) spilling shit all over the car anyway. Curse loudly.

9.) Start car, believing that warming it up will melt the ice.

10.) Realize that you are a stupid, stupid girl and hop out to try and scrape ice off with plastic bag. YES. A PLASTIC BAG. Boy B.F.F. asked me if I had gone back to blonde today, and I had to reply affirmatively. Seems that it is a fitting color.

11.) Run upstairs to seek advice from dh.

12.) Return downstairs to car with hands full of stuff you "forgot"+ a glass of hot water. Place water on curb and prepare to enter car.

13. Repeat steps 4, 5 and 6.

14.) Repeat step 11 on the verge of tears. Because DAMMIT! YOU CANNOT GET IN THE FUCKING CAR! AND YOU HAVE TO GET GAS! AND THE SKY IS FALLING! and rouse dh from sleep.

15.) Apologize profusely while dh stumbles about getting wrapped up to go out in 20' weather.

16.) Get door open just as dh is coming down to car, thus make it appear as tho you just got him out of bed and into the cold to deal with the frozen car because you were out of bed and into the cold, dealing with the carsicle.

17.) Start car, while swearing to self that you will never live in a place where it is cold again.

18.) Arrive to work with only five minutes to spare noticing that INDEED some jackass has parked in your "special" spot.

19.) Put helmet in glovebox. Save it for another day.

That really sucks. I have only lived someplace cold for a short time before, but the first day I was there (Wichita) my car door locks froze at the grocery store and that was only the first of the cold weather disasters I endured there. I am glad to be back where it never gets very cold, but we have hurricanes to contend with, so I guess it is always something. I hope things get better for you or that you somehow have a garage or something to help you deal with the cold in the future.

If you don't mind destroying it, in a pinch you can use a credit card/Blockbuster card/that laminated library card from 1992 as well as the warm water to scrape enough ice off the windshield to see.

Events like this made me so incredibly thankful to find a house with a garage! :)

nooooo! not the hot water!

when i lived in Chicago, there used to be tons of people who'd break their windshields because they threw hot water on 'em....

You need to move to where it's warm and doesn't snow! I am so glad that I no longer live where I have to deal with that. It was so not fun.
