I got in my car to pick up Nori for lunch (she has to drive to the office every day and lives in the OC, so I always offer to drive since I live so close to the office and WFH). I hadn’t driven my car since I got home Sunday morning. My car alarm wasn’t working, so I had to manually open the car with an actual key like it was the 1900s 😆 I saw my dome light switch was ‘on’ and my battery was completely drained. This is not the first time I’ve done this. Last time, I left the light on when I was looking for a Mango Hi-Chew that had fallen into the abyss. I called AAA for a jump after work tonight, and thought I would move things along by popping the hood before the guy got there. I googled ‘how to pop the hood on a 2014 mazda3’ to no avail. I mean, the instructions were clear, but it was totally user error 😅 I just ended up with grease all over my hands and a partially popped hood. Luckily, the tech knew what he was doing and was done within minutes. I had to leave the car running for an hour so I just drove around aimlessly, and then it started fucking raining. How apropos 😔
