This morning, while on my way to work, I was stopped at a light. While waiting for the light to change, I looked down and noticed a stray hair on my pants. Now, I don't think I'm unlike pretty much every other female in the world when it comes to finding stray hairs. I believe there to be a general consensus that hairs that are found anywhere other than attached to the head must be apprehended and disposed of immediately. In my situation (sitting in my car), the acceptable mode of disposal means out the window (or moonroof, as I've been known to use when convenient).
So, as I've done a million times before, I plucked the errant hair off my pants and powered down my window. Then I closed the window. On my hand. My hand that was still sticking out of the window. Panicked, I immediately pressed the button to put the window back down. Nothing. However, the window on the passenger side promptly went down. Finding the correct button, I pressed it again, albeit in the wrong direction, and the window increased its chokehold on my trapped wrist. The pain! Finally (third time's a charm!), I pressed the RIGHT button in the RIGHT direction and my hand was loosed. Free at last!
Mortified beyond words and sure that all the drivers in my immediate area had thoroughly enjoyed my little free (read: FREAK) show, I sped away from the light and drove as fast as I could to the safety of my office.
In case you're wondering, I'm OK. Just suffering from a little case of bruised ego. And wrist.

LMAO! This is totally something I would do. Emery has a VERY annoying habit of closing the window when I am in the passenger seat. More than once he's almost taken off all my fingers in one quick sweep. It hurts. Thanlfully, the new car doesn't have power windows.
Shit, that's funny.
Yeah, this is so typical of me that I'm surprised it didn't happen sooner! I'm a loser, but at least I know it and can make fun of myself for it. ;)
oh les... this made me laugh, but i do your ego and your wrist have a quick recovery?
LMAO! That my freind is the funniest post I have read in a long time! And it does seem like something that would happen to you! I hope your ego and wrist recover soon. lol

I knew you were my people! I cannot tell you how many times I have nearly brained myself slapping at a bug that had the audacity to land on my head or face. Note to self: if I hit myself in the face, it will HURT.
My sympathy on your bruised wrist. And ego. :)
