[QUOTE="wornoutupser, post: 1335781, member: 2196"] Easy one! November 1988 I was running a town 25 miles from the building and an idiot gave me a split 6 miles away. I was severely bitten by a dog, had to go to the doctor and lost almost 2 hours. Then the day got worse! As I was driving down the highway my truck pulled to the side as if a big gust of wind hit me. I looked at the trees and none of them were moving. Then my front tire broke off the vehicle! If anyone remembers the old Ford P-5's, imagine hitting the asphalt at 55 on just the front A arm. As Richard Prior used to say " First you say it-then you do it!" By the grace of God I was able to not flip the truck. I was stranded in the days before cell phones-on a dead stretch of highway-and already 2 hours behind. I did manage to catch a ride to a phone, call it in, and headed back to wait for the tow truck. Now it gets worse! My wife had gone to the doctor. She was pregnant and bleeding at 5 months. Guess who stopped to see why a UPS truck was sitting on it's nose on the side of the road! The was the day from hell for me. I did deliver about 15 stops and I sat in a parking lot 25 miles away giving away stops for the rest of the day. Yes... I had to switch out cars BY MYSELF because the supervisor was in another town getting a rental for peak! [/QUOTE]
