A (not-so) Wise Choice: Garage Door Edition

I'm going to make this post pretty straight forward. 

Don't take offense to it.

Don't think that I'm talking down to you.

Its just that... sometimes... people need little reminders about the mundane things in life...

SO...

Next time you're driving into a garage and you think you can start closing the door when your car is only halfway in and still make it in... you might be sorely mistaken. 

You might end up hurting the roof of your car a bit.  It might not cause any serious damage, but it might end up worse than when you started pulling into the garage.  And worse, you might break the garage door. It might not be able to close.  This might happen in the middle of the night when there is no hope of getting it fixed.  You might stand in the garage for twenty minutes determined to figure out time travel.  You might have to leave your roommate a note stating that you broke the garage and it is temporarily out of commision. You might let yourself sleep in an extra hour because you don't want to have to call your dad first thing in the morning and ask him what to do... or explain that you shut the garage on your car.  You might spend your sunday morning looking up garage door repair companies.  You might give them a ring.  They might come out to fix it.  You might have to explain the story again of how you closed the garage on your car...while you were still driving.  THEN... you might have to write them a hefty check. 

And you might feel kind of dumb.

Naturally, this is just a hypothetical story of something that might happen if you don't think things through.   


sorry there are no pictures.....of this completely hypothetical story.
