Today I pulled into my local grocery store parking lot set to buy a week's worth of groceries. Instead, my truck died. Typically this would have sent me over the edge, but instead I found that posting to Twitter and Instagram made it almost bearable. Here is the story as told by the hashtag #waitingtobetowed

A mom in a minivan just waved to me. I wonder if I look friendly or pathetic. #waitingtobetowed

Not the ideal footwear to push a 6,000 lbs truck out of the street.[/caption]

I'm glad to be directly under a tree to have some shade. It's hot in #STL![/caption]
The tow truck has now officially missed its E.T.A. #waitingtobetowed — Jeffrey Pomranka (@pomranka) June 24, 2012
Just called the tow company. Should have been here in an hour. Now 20min late & said another 15-20 min. Sigh. #waitingtobetowed

Since I called for a tow, my wife was able to get here, hang out for 15 min & do a weeks worth of grocery shopping. :-[#waitingtobetowed

The beast is at Miller Bros. They will make her right again. With that, the adventure ends.[/caption]
