Me, ready for work: 🎵popular song lyrics🎵
My bike: Hey pal, my front tire is flat again
Me: Dammit, that slow leak isn’t so slow anymore.
Me: Let’s just pump you up, and you’ll be inflated enough to last the day…
Front Tire: HISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Me: Shit. I was going to be early today and everything!
I don’t have time to change the flat right then and there, but I have just enough time to gather up my tools so maybe, just maybe, I can do it at the library.
The leak is slow enough that I’m still at full pressure when I arrive at work.
Supervisor: Matt, why is your bag so full?
Me: I’m glad you asked, because I’m gonna need a little extra break time today to fix my bike. My bag is full of tools.
Supervisor: Uh… ok?
So my breaktime comes around, and it takes me about 20 minutes to change the inner tube on the sidewalk. I much rather would have done it at home, but I didn’t want to ride on a hissing tire twice.
Me, reentering the library: All done! The world may now continue to spin.
Coworkers, giggling: Uhhh, Matt… you might wanna hit the bathroom real quick.
Me: Fuck
Me: It’s on my face isn’t it?
