Twenty Bucks

greenskpr: Just walked in the door from sears, bought a new gas stove and refrigerator. SAVED $20 by picking them up myself! Dumbfuck.

Make it half way home on I-81, 60 mph, soft thud from back of the truck, LOUD THUD , in rear view mirror is the refrigerator sliding down the highway. The first 4 cars all swerve or lock up brakes. All miss it.

The fifth was a 'wide load' chaser truck with lights and the whole shit - big WIDE LOAD sign in front of it warning of what coming - clearing a path. So as I'm backing up along the shoulder to get what's left of my new fridge, the wide load arrives in the form of a huge tractor trailer with some gigantic tank device that took up a lane and a half. SO I figure thats it, and if I had any extra time I should video this because it's going to rad when he crushes it. He doesn't. He calmly puts it into the opposite shoulder like a pro and avoids my whole mess. Kind of a dissapointment actually.

So I get back to the fridge, drag it to the shoulder, look for fucked up shit and pieces...nothing. Not a fucking broken piece of plastic or paint scratched. It landed absolutely flat on it's back with the styrofoam and cardboard taking the brunt. There was a little ding in the back of it where it landed on the electrical plug. Otherwise, fucking nothing. unbelievable. I'm a lucky bitch.
betaray: wow
monitron: :O
Faux Real: that right there is a story
greenskpr: I had binder straps too
greenskpr: That I failed to use
greenskpr: Cause I'm a fucking ace
betaray: well you obviously didn't need them
greenskpr: My last thought as I looked at it in the truck qwas - Ah, it'll be fine. That fridge isn't sticking up so high as to be pushed over by the wind
greenskpr: I'm an idiot for not using binders.
greenskpr: but I saved 20 bucks.
