An Unexpected Apology - Page 2

I was wishing for a witty comeback at the carwash on Saturday. My drivers side mirror rebroke when one of the carwash guys wiped it (it wasn't really his fault, the glue hadn't set properly). The oldish guy that came and duct taped it puts loads of tape on and tells me I might need help getting the tape off. My idiot, non-thinking response was, "Eh, my husband's gonna do it anyways." I pull up and think, wait, did he just tell me that I might need help getting tape off? I wish I would have said, "Yes, that duct tape is well beyond my capacity as a female to remove. I better get a big strong man to remove it for me." Idiot.

I think it's a requirement that the witty come-backs only come 20 minutes *after* you need them.
