When I got home I called Wendy's to see if I could finagle a replacement lunch for my stupidity. They asked me to tell them what happened in detail. I got oil on my shirt, crushed my broccoli baked potato, tore my pants, and was embarassed. They said they'd get back to me. I got an envelope a week later and thought it was a coupon for a free lunch. It was a check for $864 as settlement for my damages!

So don't diss those parking blocks. They may as well be gold bars!
