Since everyone's sharing stalling stories.. I had one just yesterday. I was pulling up to a busy intersection where there's usually someone walking up and down the line of cars begging for money or selling news papers (they are interchangeable if you ask me, both look sad and homeless and make me uncomfortable). Anyway.. these people are often a little weird and hobo-ish obviously, so I'm thinking to myself how awkward this is going to be from now on and wondering if he's going to harass me for money, comment, ask questions, touch my car etc.
Was so busy worried about how to avoid the hobo I forgot I'm not driving my wife's car. Rolled to a stop still in second gear, car immediately died, and the newspaper slingin hobo walks by at that exact moment and didn't even acknowledge me for any reason.. money, car, fact that I just stalled out right next to him... acted like I was invisible which somehow made it even worse.
Another slice of humble pie for me... newspaper hobo don't care about me or my ride.. apparently I'm not even worth pointing and laughing at.
