Granted, if your vote is for the Democratic candidate, it won't be counted, and the poll workers are legally obliged to give you a wedgie on the way out.
I needed this laugh!
We can come by between classes. Usually I use that time to copy over my class notes with a system of different colored pens. But it's been pointed out to me that that's, you know...insane.

AAA will even bring you gas if you're a dumbass and run out. Or so I've heard.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
AAA is worth it to me, and I don't even own a car. They're fabulous.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Jess, you should totally see if they'll bring you food when you run out!!

Plus, if you are in someone else's car and it breaks down, they'll still come and help, as long as there is a AAA member in the car.

I'm thinking even the basic service is worth it for less than $70 a year.

Yup. My brother has utilized this benefit a lot when he had a car with a faulty gauge. He was also a dumbass, though.
I usually manage to scrape a few $/day off on things like hotels and rentals. And train tickets.

What is even happening?
Yeah, AAA is the best. And they cover you, not your car. So, if you're out with a friend who gets a flat, or whatever, they'll still come help.
I managed to find the jack, free the temporary spare and to start jacking up the van by the time DH could get out of work and get there. It's a good thing he came because he had trouble with the lug nuts so there's no way I'd have had the strength to loosen them. Feh.
I hope you never need to know this in the future, but in case you do ever get another flat, and can't contact help...
Loosen the lug nuts before you jack up the car, at all. Don't take them off, but loosen them. It still might be too hard, but it's easier when the weight of the car is on the wheels, and you have more leverage, too.

Cash, I've found the plus membership to be worth the money because of the extended towing -- I've been able to insist they take the car to my mechanic.
