My AAA Experience

I have dealt with AAA before and it has never been "pleasent", but this most recent time was, for lack of a better word, atrocious. It all started when I pulled into Wendy's to get some delicious food and it was delicious. That actually put the topper on what was a pretty good day, but what happens when I go to start my car....Nothing. And when your trying to start your car, if nothing happens, then that is a very bad thing as most of you probably know. Yet when I pulled the key out of the ignition there was a rapid clicking sound coming from underneath the steering wheel. "Well that can't be good" I thought to myself...and then the car caught on fire. Okay I made the fire part up, that actually would have been a lot cooler than what really happens. At least then there would have been a huge fire, which fire is always cool :). But anyway, the clicking would stop after a few minutes, but every time I tried to start the car again the clicking started again. No big deal, I called my firend and he came down with some jumper cables to try and give me a jump. Well that didn't help at all and only seemed to make the clicking even louder. Now I'm starting to get a little upset since my car is rather new and I have taken good care of it. So I call AAA and after about 15 minutes of answering and re-answering a bunch of stupid questions they finally say they will send a tow truck out to tow me in anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour. Not too bad, and they showed up in about 30 minutes. I was actually a little relieved at this point since I figured I could soon go home, but there's no way I would be let off that easy. This particular tow truck was a flatbed tow truck and in order to get the car onto the flatbed you had to be able to put it in neutral. Guess what my car wouldn't do...thats right, it couldn't shift into neutral so this tow truck was completely useless. Yay for me. So the tow truck guy calls AAA back and puts in a new request for me. Great another 30 minutes to an hour wait before I can go home...or so I thought. 3 hours later there is still no tow truck. So I call AAA again and ask them what was going on with my request and apparently they decided not to put in another request when the tow truck guy called, so I had been waiting there for nothing. So this guy puts in a repeat request for a tow truck. At this point I am somewhere between pissed off and really pissed off. An hour and a half later I am beyond really pissed and ready to kill someone. Then I call AAA again and they assured me that a tow truck should have been there by now. While I was talking to them the tow truck finally pulled in. The tow truck guy told me that he had just gotten the call about 20 minutes ago, I hate AAA. The dumbest part of the whole thing was that the place I was having it towed to was about 150 yards away. So I waited a total of somehwere around 5 hours just to have my car towed less than a mile down the road. I wish it would have actually caught on fire, at least then I bet a tow truck would have made it there a lot sooner. All it turned out to be was a shorted out battery...I hate my life. lol.
