"The best laid plans," as they say.
The Husband's birthday was last month. When I asked him what he wanted for his birthday, he said, "Nothing."
Unacceptable.
I pondered. One day as I was surfing the internet, I discovered that the comedian Henry Cho was coming to town. The Husband likes him. I got two tickets for his birthday present.
The show started at 8 p.m. last night. We got there about 7:15 and parked in a lot behind a donut shop. When the show was over, we went to our car, and IT WAS GONE, as was every other car that had parked in that lot.
OH, SHIT!
There was a wrecker in the parking lot with a truck hitched to it. I asked the driver some questions. He told me where the car was but said that there would be nobody there to give us our car back.
While I was talking to the driver, The Husband looked for a "no parking" sign. We hadn't seen one when we parked. The sign was about 12 feet up a light pole, not exactly in the line of an average person's vision.
Miraculously, as we were standing there trying to figure out what to do (Uber the 30 miles home?), we saw a former classmate and her husband walking across the lot. They live 10 miles or so from us and agreed to take us home.
Could've been worse, eh?
Anyway, this morning we went back to town to get my car. Cost us $225 to get it out of hock.
Expensive birthday present.
