Rawr!!!!! I'm tired of hearing that type of tone in the things people are saying these days. Even if it's not explicitly stated, that's what it means "my way is right, you should do this."
I DON'T WANT TO! MAKE ME!
... is so what I would like to say, but I'm just biting my tongue, smiling and swallowing it down. I'm just vexed.
Everyone's giving me ideas, options, and borderline commands on what I should or should not do with my car. I'm kind of pissed right now 'cause I'm tired of listening to them. I know what to do. Yeah, I have freak out moments when things happen, but once I calm down, I come up with some pretty good survival techniques so I really can do without the "You should do this" spiel. I'm seriously tired of hearing it.
I had people tell me to go buy radiator fluid, people tell me to use their mechanics, use some cheaper auto shop, get AAA, among a billion other things.
Look, my car overheats within 15 minutes of driving, how the hell am I supposed to get anywhere they tell me to go? Target? WalMart? Keep dreaming, those places are all 30-60 minutes away from where I live, and I can barely make 15 without crying. And right now, it's like 70 degrees outside... you seriously want me to drive in 70 degree weather with my car? I can barely do 50 degrees at night time for more than 15 minutes, how do you expect me to drive in broad daylight with 70+ degrees outside?
AAA is useful and not so useful depending on things. My car is fairly new and what's happening at the moment is like a freak incident so I really don't need it. My car probably won't break down anytime soon and if it does, my car insurance will reimburse me for towing costs so I have no need for AAA. I probably won't ever lock my keys in my car 'cause it's so new, so no need for them to break into my car to retrieve my keys either. So yeah, people stop telling me to buy a service that I have absolutely no use for. If worst comes to worst, I'll just call the police.
I am going to use the Volkswagen dealership in the next town closeby. My friend/coworker said that she would go with me if I wanted her to go 'cause she wants to recommend her guy, but he's on vacation in France right now so I have to wait 3 weeks... I really can't wait 3 weeks. However, if the next opening is in three weeks, I'll wait for her to go. This one I can do, but I have my own thoughts on what I should be doing anyway, so hearing any other options is just going to aggravate me more.
My plan is to go in really early one of the weekdays -- since the service department seems closed on Saturday -- and make an appointment at 7AM. I'll wake up early and start driving there early that way the weather's still cold and I won't be as scared of my car overheating before I get there. After that, I'll take a bus down, or I can ask my coworkers to swing by and pick me up before they come to work. When my car is ready to be picked up, I'll just figure out a bus route to get there, or go after work and ask my coworkers to take me there and drop me off since it's on their way home. Out of all the options people have given me, I think mine is most sound. I just want them to leave me be. It's so tiring to expend this much mental energy listening to things I don't want to hear and then be irritated by it. *sigh* I'm so tired and I still have to go to the gym. *sigh*
