So we are moving houses and had been using my SUV with a friend's trailer. But we don't have the lock, and my hubs couldn't find (too lazy to look) for the lock he has, so instead of parking my car in the garage, we left it outside with the trailer hooked up. But took Christmas Eve and Christmas day off from moving, so it sat there for a couple days. .... got super cold on Christmas, woke up to -23 below, so colder than that overnight. My SUV battery was dead this morning. Ok, so we jump it, fine, working. I am taking his car to the old house, he and the kids have my SUV and are stopping for food on the way also. I get all the way to the new house (prob 30 min away from old house) and get a call... we are at the fast food place and the car is dead again.
Me: fuck, why didn't you go through the drive thru?
Him: Trailer was too tight, yada yada, so they went inside.
Me: why didn't you leave the kids in the car (they are old enough) and just go in and get the food?
Him: some reason, yada yada. But fine, I'll call AAA.
Me: Jesus H Christ, I'm already turned around on my way.
Him: Well, I left the jumper cables at the new house
Me: HOLY FUCKING SHIT? WHAT?? Jesus, I'll go there and get them.
do all that, car restarts, we head to old house.
Me: Just leave the car on, whatever you do.
Him: Ok
Proceed to actually mumble about him being an idiot in front of the kids (great move there).
a while later, I need to take the SUV to Goodwill. I get in, noticing it's OFF. ... dead. WTF Husband???? At least we have the cables. Jump it again. Proceed to Goodwill.
Since it's still freaking -20 the Goodwill bay immediately closes the doors while you are dropping off, so I decide I should shut off the car (it's inside, right? And only for a minute).... yeah, won't start. Fuck.. Go to call hubby, my phone is also dead. WTF. Ask goodwill guy to borrow his phone & for a push out of the bay/garage.
Hubby answers, I'm like yeah, can you get to Goodwill asap, car is dead. He is like, yes dear. Ha
Proceed to Sam's Club for a new battery. All is good. Finish packing garage in -20 degree weather & we are all cranky as hell. Finally home now in front of a fire and checking TGR to see what everyone else is complaining about.
