A Bad Day

Along with school I have two jobs. I have a campus job where I wash campus vehicles and buses all day, I also have a job at a pizza place in my hometown. This past saturday I was working at the pizza place and I was working delivery. The day started off normal and we weren't very busy until around 7. Around that time I came back from the shop after a delivery and there were four more deliveries ready to go. So I get back in my car and off I go. The first delivery was no problem it was a big house on a busy street, I found it no problem. The next delivery was on Columbia Ave., a redneck street through town where there aren't numbers on the houses or mailboxes. My delivery address was for 1009 Columbia Ave. I couldn't find it anywhere and after several minutes of frustration I drove to a random house on the street and asked if they knew where the house was. They answered the door and told me they weren't sure. So I get back in my car and drive to another random house. Same story. Again I drive to another house. This person informs me that there is no 1000 block on this street. I get back in my car and figure I will ask one more person. I drive down a little ways and at this point I am in a huge hurry because the pizzas are getting cold. I jump out of my car and slam the door really fast. It was still in drive, whoops! The worst thing about this is that when my car is in drive and the door is shut, the doors lock. So here I am stuck outside my car in the cold and it is slowly idleing away from me. I jumped in front of my car and started pushing the front end trying to stop it, as if i had incredible super-strength. My car was headed right for a telephone pole and mailbox when somehow the car managed to stop, just several feet before crashing. Luckily, my mom had a spare key, so while I stood in front of the car praying it wouldn't start moving again, my mom brought me the spare and saved the day.
