Today I had to work from 5:00 until 9:30 for the evening shift at Cracker Barrel. I decided to leave early so that I could stop for food. I stopped at an Arby's 3 parking lots over from where I work, so that I could just cut through the parking lots to get to work. Whenever I ordered, my total was $3.23 so I got out three ones and a quarter.
Well, as I went to hand the drive-through worker a quarter, it fell out of my hand and into a crevice in my steering wheel. It was too far in for me to get it, so I take a card and run it through the crevice to make it come out...this was NOT a good idea.
Apparently, a quarter will either press something or connect wires in my steering wheel that make my car honk it's horn, without needing me to even touch the center of my wheel. So, the whole time I am pulling out of the drive through, my car is blowing its horn. I turn into a parking spot, and when I turned it the quarter moved so it stopped. Then I backed out...and it honked once and stopped.
So I drive away, behind a large white truck full of people...go around a curve, hear the quarter move....and my horn goes off without stopping. The people in the truck thought I was honking at them I think, because they immediately roll down all of their windows and flip me off. I am a whimp, and since my car wouldn't stop honking, I sped away into another parking lot and luckily when I turned the wheel the horn stopped. But I have a very recognizable car so I really hope they never find me out anywhere lol.
I pull into work, and it goes off again. Out of frustration, I started shaking my wheel. I mean, could I even take it to a garage to have that fixed? And all I could think about was what I was going to do when I went in to work 4.5 hours at Cracker Barrel while my car sat in the parking lot beeping it's horn the whole time. Luckily, the shaking of the wheel jiggled it loose and the quarter fell into my lap.
The moral of the story is: I will never ever hand change over my steering wheel unless there is saran wrap or something over the wheel...haha only me!
