/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I'm just kind of butthurt because my new year hasn't been starting off that well. My car's brakes were acting up last night after work so I pulled over and called my parent's house phone to get a ride home. My mother doesn't have a working cell and my dad got pissed because the phone ringing woke him up and she decided to leave and pick me up instead of telling him what was going on. When I got home we had an argument about leaving the car, and I told him I'd rather just let it be and try to figure out what's going on in the morning because it seems like there could be multiple problems. This was at 9:40 at night and maybe a five minute drive from where we live.

I called my uncle (a mechanic) this morning and explained all the lights and shit going off. He said it was a good thing that I left it because it could be a serious issue with the brake sensors not working or the brake module crapping out, and he's going to check it out today. It's just annoying that I feel like I did the right thing by pulling over to avoid causing an accident or damaging my vehicle and its tires, and yet my dad flips shit about it. There was no reason to be angry about the situation and he was blowing it out of proportion, plus the last time I had an issue with my car at night he actually disconnected the house phone when I tried contacting my parents. It was nice my mother was actually able to respond this time.
