Today, I got a flat tire in the middle of nowhere. I called AAA, and they said it would take two hours to get there. They called two hours later saying they got a flat tire and would be there in another two hours. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was changing a flat tire on my car when it fell off the jack and crushed my hand. After ripping my hand free and waiting 2 hours for AAA, I get to go find out if my hand is broken. FML
Today, I got a rental car because my car needed new tires and I had a long drive ahead of me. Today, the rental car got a flat tire. FML
Today, I was driving home through the middle of nowhere when a screw punctured my car tire. I arrived at the town's only auto shop to find that it had closed early. Frantic, I dialed the emergency number listed on the shop's locked door. On the other side of the glass, a phone began to ring. FML
Today, on my way for a vacation, my car started misfiring, so I called a tow truck. Forty minutes later, the tow truck arrived. He then said that he had just gotten another priority call, so he was leaving, and someone would be back in another hour to get us. FML
Today, I got not one but two flat tires after hitting two separate potholes big enough to take chunks out if my original rim and to bend the shit out of my spare. This was in about a 3 mile radius and within minutes of each other. FML
Today, I saw a car on the side on the highway with a popped tire. The driver didn't have a spare, so I nicely gave them mine. One hour later my tire popped. FML
Today, at 5:30 on a Sunday, I noticed my tire had a bubble in it. I found a tire shop 15 minutes away that would be closing at 6pm and made it there in time, but the shop had closed early. I left to try and make it to the next one and had a blow out. FML
Today, with 3 miles left of a 16-mile bike ride, I got a flat tire and had to push my bike back to my car. FML
Today, I woke up to find out that the two front tires on our van were flat. Now we won't have a vehicle all week since the tire shop is booked solid. We just went through this with the rear tires two weeks ago. FML
Today, my car wouldn't start, so I had to wait for AAA. Then, hurrying to pick up my brother, I got a $161 speeding ticket. Twenty minutes later, I got a call from him saying he didn't need a ride anymore. FML

Learn to change your own damn tire. It's not that difficult. Step 1: Find the jack, the spare tire, and the breaker bar. Step 2: find a stable place to put the jack. Step 3: Remove the lugs BEFORE you jack the car up. Step 4: Jack the car up. Step 5: remove the flat tire and replace it with the spare. Step 6: hand tighten the lugs back onto the tire in a STAR PATTERN (for the mechanically disadvantaged put them on in a diagonal pattern or the tire will not sit right and probably fall off the car). Step 7: Lower the car back onto the ground and remove the jack from under the car. Step 8: tighten the lugs with the breaker bar in a STAR PATTERN until you can't get them any tighter. Step 9: put everything back in the car where it belongs, drive to the nearest garage and have them fix or replace your tire. You now know how to change a tire.
