This is my big thank you from a fellow american...aint this a bitch
Unreal.
I had to go to the post office today to mail a bunch of various things and to send my tax papers to my accountant. Upon my arrival, a little old lady approached me with that deer-in-the-headlights look.
"Sir!" she screamed. Only little old ladies call me sir. Hot chicks usually refer to me as "asshole" or "that cute guy that I could never fuck because he's so nice and oh doesn't he look like my brother lol????"
This poor little old lady's steering column was locked. She informed me that her mechanic said it had to be her fault. I grabbed the keys and tried, figuring she was too weak to get the wheel in position to start the car.
I pulled that fucker as hard as I could in either direction. Nope. Ignition isn't budging.
"Ma'am, I'm going to call my pop to see what he has to say about this. I'll drop these letters off and by the time I get back I'll have an answer for you."
"OH THANK YOU!" I had just given this old lady her first orgasm in forty years, and I didn't even touch her!
That's why they call me The Magician.
But as you'll soon see, they should call this bitch The Magician, and put her mugshot next to the damn headline.
So I go in, mail my shit, call my pop, get advice, and come out. The little old lady is gone. Her car is locked up. I go on a relentless quest to find this poor old lady. What happened to her? Did the stress of the events send her on a schizophrenic Alzheimer's ride into oblivion? Will they find her in a ditch, notice the partial fingerprint on her coat, and think I killed her or something? OH NO! I HAVE TO FIND THIS LITTLE OLD LADY!
No I didn't have to do shit. After five minutes of searching everything within a 500 foot radius of the post office, I said fuck it and went to Subway for a footlong Subway club with American, hold the L&T, sweets and pickles, HONEY MUSTARD BABY.
And KC Masterpiece chips. And a soda.
"Will that be all?" said the token East Indian Subway cashier. How come all the cashiers in the Subway commercials are hot blondes, but every fucking Subway I frequent has only East Indian employees? The same shit happens at Dunkin Donuts too. All Indians, but hot blondes on the commercials. Only Krispy Kreme's advertisements are accurate. The cashier's a fat black mama with those scrumtious donuts in her hand smiling. And when you walk into Krispy Kreme, there she is, just waiting for you to take a big sugary bite out of her -
"Yep, that'll be all."
"Eight oh seven."
I checked out the wallet. Seven bucks.
"Oh, shit, I only have seven bucks."
"Well, sir, you can use credit card here. Visa, Master Card, American Express, Deescova."
Sir again. Add East Indian to that list. And what the fuck is Deescova?
"Sweet, I'll use Vis -
Oh no.
No.
There's no way.
I'm obsessive compulsive. Do you know what that's like? Let me give you an example. When someone gives me a $100 bill, my mind tells me every five minutes that I lost it. So I routinely organize and reorganize my entire wallet every five minutes. One look at my wallet and you'll know I'm not lying. It's impeccable. Sometimes I'll reorganize it unconsciously. Sometimes I'll wake up out of my sleep and my fucking wallet is in my hand. The ironic thing about OCD is that it's complete insanity. You do things for no reason. I've never lost a thing out of my wallet. Ever. Ever.
Ever. And I didn't lose anything this time.
But my Visa card was gone.
I left the Subway hoagie on the counter. I got in my car. I did 100 miles per hour on a fifty in Jersey, which is tantamount to saying "Please lock me up right now and oh by the way here's my license throw it in the shredder for all I care hahahaha lololol"
I parked somewhere in that post office lot and searched for that bitch's red car. Gone.
"DID YOU SEE A LITTLE OLD LADY OUTSIDE HERE WITH A RED CAR HER STEERING WHEEL WAS LOCKED SHE ASKED ME FOR HELP BUT GODDAMN IT SHE STOLE MY CREDIT CARD ARGH THAT BITCH I OUGHTA -"
As I'm rattling off my life story to no one in particular, my cell phone rings.
"Yeah."
"[insert bank name] Fraud Alert center, please state your purchase and pass code."
"My car was stolen by a little old lady. Whatever is going on with my account, it's fraud. Arrest the bitch on the spot!"
"Sir, this isn't about [insert card], this is about opening a new account in -"
"No. No new accounts. Fraud. I'm glad you called. This is fucking fraud. No no no no no. Do not let whoever is masquerading as me pass go. Arrest those people immediately."
"Sir, we cannot do that. This person is attempting to set up an account in [insert some fucking island]"
Doesn't this shit only happen in the movies? I mean, fuck, Woody Harrelson got his shit jacked by a little old lady on the train in White Men Can't Jump. Remember that? She jacked all his cash meant for the bookies and then the bookies beat the shit out of him later on while Wesley Snipes fucked that bitch in bed. I felt like that at this juncture. I was getting fucked up the ass by some little old lady con artist while somewhere, in another part of the state, some jock was banging the hot ass chick that I saw while getting my coffee this morning at Wawa.
Wow.
"FRAUD FRAUD FRAUD FRAUD FRAUD. Don't let whoever do anything with my account. Good bye."
I got calls from all three credit agencies throughout the day. I now have to basically lock down my life and wait this thing out. I'm in the middle of trying to move, too. This is NOT good. I don't need this right now.
All because I tried to help a little old lady start her car.
If this is the reward that I get for helping my fellow American, then, in the words of the late great Notorious B.I.G. and Method Man:
Fuck the world, don't ask me for shit.
Epilogue:
It wasn't the little old lady that jacked me. Apparently it was someone earlier in the day, most likely in the convenience store. The card had an attempted use on it early in the morning. I did NOT drop it. It had to be pickpocketed. Hell, it might have been that really hot chick that I saw at the Wawa that did it. For the public record, if you are a really hot chick with straight shoulder length brown hair, grey pants, and KILLER BODY, and you were at the Cinnaminson, NJ Wawa on Church Road today on Monday, March 21, 2005, around 8:15 a.m., and you stole my credit card, I hope you burn in hell, but if you didn't steal it, would you care to go to dinner, or possibly marry me and have my kids and everything else because you're the most beautiful girl I've laid eyes on in oh a quarter century and I'm only 26, the end.
If I could speak French like my co-worker I'd translate this whole fucker for you.
