Today, my car heater finally died. I deliver pizzas. In Alaska. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Same thing different taste
It's all too much
Today, my car crapped out in the middle of the road, after over a year of only being able to find short contract jobs, all while juggling the grief of the back to back deaths of my mother and grandfather. FML
Today, my car broke down on the highway, and I had to call for a tow truck. It finally showed up, only to break down too less than a mile later. Cue nearly freezing to death while we waited for help to arrive for the both of us. FML
Today, it was a little colder than it should be for this time of year, and as a result I was using the heater in my car. Apparently within the last four months, a mouse managed to make his way into my heater vent and die. I can not get the smell of death out of my car. FML
Such a Jerry thing to do...
Today, I woke up and realized I didn't start a fire last night. I live in Alaska and our winter nights can reach -30 below zero. My fish are dead, my plasma television won't turn on, and the cat has frostbite. FML
Today, because of the gas crisis in my state, we had to stop taking delivers at the pizza place I work at. Someone asked if we could walk it to them. My manager agreed. FML
Drama kings and queens unite!
Today, I was doing some routine maintenance on my car when a radiator connector broke unexpectedly. I realized I'd rather walk 3 miles in freezing temperatures than call my nearest friends for a ride and have to listen to their drama. FML
Today, I took my car into the mechanic to have two tires and battery put in, all new. I later got a call saying they tried to start my car on the dead battery, which sparked and started a fire. It's gonna take two weeks to get the parts and it's minus 30 outside. FML
Today, I ran out of gas while driving, and had to call a tow truck. I drive a tow truck. FML
Today, my car fob died on me when I was going to get donations because my house burnt down two days ago, FML
Have yourself a merry little Xmas
Today, on Christmas Eve, as I was getting my car loaded for the holiday rounds to the in-laws and parents, my car decided now was the time to break down. I recently put in over $1000 fixing it. FML

YDI for not fixing the heater before it broke. You said "finally" which indicates you knew something was wrong. And the heater is part of the cooling system on the car so you had better have that checked out since you obviously cannot take care of your car yourself.

Yeah, the "finally" part struck me as odd, too. Had your heater been fighting a long battle with blower cancer, or what?

he's a pizza delivery guy .... and it's expensive to fix cars .... is it really a mystery why it wasnt fixed

I agree with 11, if OP thought the heater was gonna die soon, he should have fixed it. so YDI.

Of course it's expensive to fix cars, but a heater? What does heater hose cost, like $1 a foot? There aren't that many things that can go wrong with a car heater system, and they're all pretty simple to fix. It's a radiator, two hoses, a valve and a fan. I'd have thought that the risk you take driving around in 40 below without one would be so huge, it'd take priority over everything else.

how can your heater die without your whole care dying? The heat comes from the heat produced by the running engine. unless you've got some crappy electric thing ....

His blower probably just went out. Mine did in my old car and my car ran just fine I just was freezing my a** off! I live in Alaska also I'm sorry OP:(

Stick your hands in the cheese to keep them warm. Don't expect tips.

Stick your penis inside the pizza holder bag. Save your dick so that it doesn't get frostbite and then have to get amputated. Nothing is worse then having your dick cut off.

I see an Andy Samberg/Justin Timberlake follow-up song based on this!

amazing how you judge us for living in alaska , when you know nothing about up here. no matter where you go your going to have vehicle trouble. alaska is not blizzards and -600 outside with everybody wrapped up in jackets big enough to cover a car. seriously... stop watching all the movies and experience it yourself, or shut up.
grandpaearthling 2
depending where in Alaska he lives it could be -40 or 50 degrees above zero. Alaska is more than twice the size of Texas and is also larger than many countries on this little planet

Because Alaska is awesome? Seriously..it may be freezing in the winter but the summers are nice and warm. Plus the state is gorgeous and it's always interesting and surprising you. Just the other day I had a moose staring at me through my window. I can watch the Northern Lights from my room. I love it here

I agree with you... if you have a choice in the matter get the hell outta that state... the winters AND summers suck up here... the army has had me up here for three years... happy I'm about to leave!!!
