Car Drama

So, Tuesday night rolls along and I am running some errands. I get out of the car long enough to put some movies in the drop box at Hollywood Video; when I get back in the car, it won't start. With my luck, I am by myself and my cellphone has little battery life left. I call Shawn and ask him to call his sister and see if she can come and jump start the car. Shawn calls back and informs me that our brother-in-law, Mark is on his way to help.
As I am waiting I notice that there is an accident on Center St. Next thing I know the entire Orem Police, Fire and Ambulance are at the scene. Come to find out a pedestrian had been hit. The Fire Department closed off most of Hollywood's parking lot. (They were trying to tell me to move my car but that was impossible.) The victim was lifeflighted to a hospital and the helicopter landed about 40 feet from my car. It was a pretty traumatizing experience. The part that bothered me the most (beside the fact that someone was seriously injured and that my car wouldn't start) was that people were pulling into the parking lot to watch. I was so disgusted by these people!
After trying to jump the car for 40 minutes we gave up and ended up rolling it into a parking spot by the building. Mark was kind enough to loan us a car until we got ours fixed. The thing that ticks me off the most is that I had the car towed to a shop the next morning and after it being there for only 10 minutes they called and told me that it was the friggin battery! I guess it was so dead that it wouldn't hold a charge. Did you know you could remove the battery from a car and it could still start? New news to me. I am, however, grateful that the only thing wrong with the car was the battery. But it sure stressed me out a lot and now I am sick! This all happened the evening before my last 2 finals (which I didn't get any time to study for.) Anyway, that was the car drama story. (By the way, the pedestrian is doing fine, he is at Utah Valley Regional.)
