Watch for DANGER!!! - Car Wash Trauma


We all know that danger lurks around three out of four corners, BUT did you know it also lurks inside CAR WASHES?!?!!?

Formerly thought to be a safe haven, a place to unwind from the worries of the world- concentrating on the ocean-like swish of the gentle brushes as they wipe dead bugs from your windsheild, Car Washes have turned into (near) death traps!!!

Loyal blog reader, whom we'll call Beadie (to protect her anonymity) has reported exlusively to CliffandKendall.blogspot.com that she was TRAPPED inside a car wash over the weekend!! As she was relaxing to the gentle spray of suds that tapped ever so softly on the outside of her car, she was suddenly TRAPPED inside as the robotic motion tracks the car was resting on STALLED and refused to advance her car to the next stage of the wash!!

Now, this is a TERRIFYING situation, but luckily we live in a the age of the cellular telephone and Beadie was able to break free from this Orwellian nightmare by dialling up the Car Wash attendant standing by idly inside- eating a Clark Bar no doubt!! As the fates would have it, Beadie was rescued and lives to tell the tale, but you MIGHT NOT BE SO LUCKY!! Fill your bucket lists people: You never know when the roll will be called up yonder!!

So, let's all take a lesson from Beadie's book- keep your cellphones handy, especially in confining and HORRIBLY DANGEROUS places like car washes!!! And you may want to call up Sprint or Verizon and pre-emptively thank them for saving YOUR LIFE!!

UPDATE: Beadie was rewarded a free car wash for her trouble, though she may never fully recover from the mental anguish she suffered due to the robotic negligence of her chosen car wash facility.
