Give me something to do, God.
I went and saw PoA today. BEST. HARRY POTTER MOVIE. EVER.
So, my mom's car has been having problems lately. She just got it back from the mechanic today, and while we were driving to the theatre, the CHECK ENGINE light went on. We're kinda like "What the Shit?" because we just got the damned car back from the mechanic. We pull in to a gas station to get water and oil. My mom changes the oil, and goes to loosen the cap on the water tank, so it can cool down before we hit the road again. Mom opens the coolant thing, and notices ... HA! ... No coolant. She gets annoyed, because this means (A) my dad didn't replace the coolant like he said, and (B) the mechanic is ignorant and didn't do it, either. So, she loosens the cap.
The cap pops off. Water flies out like soda in a shaken can. Now, it's not cold water. Or lukewarm water. Or kinda warm water. IT'S FUCKING BOILING HOT PAINFUL FUCKING HOLY WATER. Mom gets it splattered all over her ... chest ... and her arm, and I just got some on my boob. If you do not know, VERY HOT THINGS SPLATTERED ON YOUR TITS HURTS LIKE BREAKING BONES.
My mom thinks she got ... second degree burns ... and I just have a heat rash. We didn't need to go to a doctor or anything, but ... It still hurt. Badly.
For me, it doesn't hurt anymore. Went away about an hour later, the burning. But my mom is still in a lot of pain.
Shit like this makes me want to smack my dad. He said "Oh, SUUUUUUUUUUURE, honey, I'll change it, don't worry!" And what happened? He didn't do it. And now my mom's gonna have these nasty ass scars. I mean, the water could have gotten our faces! We could have needed medical help! And he didn't do it.
To save fifteen dollars.
