Yesterday was horrible.
9 years ago
So, I thought i would have a great time yesterday, comign to this huge event for motor nerds called "Bilsport Performance & Custom motorshow" in Jönköping here in Sweden. But it turned out to be anything but.
For starters, the once i was riding with on the way (3+ hour) up to Elmia (the place the motorshow was being held) two of the passagers constantly unbuckled their seatbelts, took off their hats and stuck half of their bodies out of the side windows while we were doing around 100-110 kph (62 - 68 mph) or at bit lower speeds. The driver of the car removed BOTH of his hands atleast 5 times from the stearing wheel. and even held just one hand (switching between them) to either bang on the door or the roof of the car WHILE still driving, or strike a small pose when one of the passangers where taking a photo. The driver also was driving more than a couple of times way over the speed limit. Even so that we at one points, when we were close to Elmia, crashed into an almost standing car!
And later on, after I left them alone and went inside Elmia, after having some food, getting an autograph from Fast 'n Louds/Gas Monkey Garages owner and founder Richard Rawlings, I wanted to get back home, since being all alone is not fun.
But it turned out that, noone i checked with was going to drive back to where I live, or even to the same region. So with help from mom, she booked a ticket for me to go on a bus that would lead to a train to which i had to switch to another train and then switch once again to yet another train before I would be home. And here's where all hell went down for me.
As I was waiting on the bus, there were TONS of cars driving by and slowly. So much that it was like a roadblock. And due to this, the bus became late till eventually, the bus i thought it would be came, but it was the wrong bus. So I asked the busdriver about the correct bus to which he pointed to me where it may be (which was futher down the road) so I had to start running to get to it.
Once i got onboard, i thought it was all set and done, that i would only have to relax, but no.....
As it turned out, once the bus came to the station, the train had already left over 20 minutes ago. And the next train going the same way would not come untill 2+ hours!
And to that, the ticket I had would not work on the train as it was only for that one i missed!
And as I got so angry and sad that i cried, and mom tried to calm me down, we tried to contact some to help me away from there, but to no sucess.
After over an hour, mom had booked a new ticket that would take me to a diffrent trainstation (from the trainstation I was at) but it turned out, the ticket would not be avalible untill I reached the next station. The ticket was not from the station I was at.
So, after more thigns, the same guys who i rode with to Elmia, was coming to get me. But as the time went on, it felt like they would not come as I tried to call the driver a few times, but i only got a busy call tone when i tried.
Eventualy, after about 20 min or so, they found where I was so I could ride with them back home. Much Much later than I had wished.
So, yesterday, March 26th 2016, is a day I wish to forget. March 26th 2016 is by far, the worst day i have had ever in my life......as I feared, i would not be able to get home for a long long long time.....:cries:
