Over the weekend, Jason came home for a visit. It was just like any other weekend, so therefore, we had to make a Costco run. Having 9 cats, you need more kitty litter than any one person has a right to.
On the way out of the house, Jason made a derogatory comment about his car. I told him he better not say it again, because if he does, his car won’t start. So he immediately said it again, and when we got into his car…it didn’t start.
Therefore I think my boyfriend has bad karma. One might think the fun stops there…but NO! It keeps going!
To give y’all some background, Jason had some battery trouble a few months ago, but never got around to replacing it. Why, you ask? Because Hyundai’s are STUPID. They take high maintence goofy batteries that no other car takes. NTB doesn’t carry the batteries for these cars. You read that right, the BATTERY STORE doesn’t carry the right battery for his car. So then, we go to Sears Auto, thinking, they’ll have a battery we need. So we go and ask. They have ONE perfect battery left. ONE. Our sales guy tests said battery…and although it’s brand new…it’s dead. D-E-A-D dead. So he checks the computer again, and apparently there is one other type of battery that would fit. And there are five in the store. But our sales guy, he couldn’t find any of them. All gone! So lastly, we go to Pepboys. Manny, Moe and Jack have GOT to be able to help Jason out. Because Jason’s car is just the COOLEST thing ever (really, I’m not kidding, I love his car) everyone we talked to on Monday had to go check out under the hood to see what he had going on. So the Pepboys guy had to look, too. Turns out there is one kind at Pepboys that will fit. And there’s one left. (And this guy could find it, too). Jason takes it home, and installs it. However, when he took the old one out, and put the new one in, it reset his car alarm. And wouldn’t you know, the battery in his keychain opener, it was dead, too! So, poor Jason had to go get the owners manual to the alarm to figure out how to turn the damn thing off.
And that’s why I think my boyfriend has bad karma. He must have done something UGLY in a past life to piss off the car gods.
