JFC. That is bonkers! And hysterical in a way. And horrifying, especially when you make it to Craig's place. Great piece. I keep thinking about Craig's house, and maybe your tire longed to live there...

It was one of those “just when you think this can’t get any weirder situations.” It got much, much weirder.

But how?? How did this happen?

What a bizarre story. (And well written.)

Glad you’re okay.

Thanks, CK. I wish I knew! The dealership people, including the owner, apologized profusely and compensated me monetarily (a little) because they were afraid I was going to sue, but I never got a straight answer on how it happened. Someone f'd up big time.

Chris-- How this happen???? (I have never seen anything like it!) How does a totally random, absurd, uncommon situation happen to someone can already tell a funny story??? I love this story so much. I'm still laughing at the toddler butler!

Thanks Shelly, and thank you sharing it out! It was the strangest morning of my life, hands down. BANANAS. I’ve been asking myself “Why the hell did it take you so long to write about this? Duh.” Maybe the shock finally wore off after four years.
