7/29 - Chris stranded at gas station

[Subconcious Offense]

He didn't get $200. State Farm is on a conference call with Barb and Chris right now.

On a scale of Snorlax to Charizard how furious is she?

No clue, but probably furious.

If he's getting towed then he can get home that way. The tow truck usually lets you sit with the driver, but I don't dress like Chris so I don't know...

I think after a 5 minute conversation about astral projecting to cartoon hedgehogs, the driver will let Chris take the wheel and he'll just hitch hike back home

 

[Skeletor]

His life story will end where it began: in a gas station parking lot in rural Virginia.

 

[PuckishRogue]

A little disappointed to hear Barb is still alive.

 

[repentance]

It's pretty funny that because neither of them maintain their cars he can't even get Barb to go and pick him up.

 

[idosometimes]

He is only an hour from his house. This is much less of a problem than people are making it out to be. Someone with a female name and AAA premium could just order him a tow through the app. The past times I have used it, they never checked my card or id.

Where is that idiot who called me an autist for saying Chris cannot handle home maintenance? He has to beg for a tow, but will totally be able to pay for a new AC unit or have pipes replaced. Definitely.

The real test is surviving Barb's wrath, Chris technically wrecked both their cars in about a week.

But he also got idiots to pay the repair bills. It is not like they are out anything.

If he's getting towed then he can get home that way. The tow truck usually lets you sit with the driver, but I don't dress like Chris so I don't know...

I hope the driver has a strong will. Imagine driving with a sexy vixen like Pristine Christine. Such temptation.

If she fakes another one of her heart attacks right now, Chris will never go on road trips ever again.

 

[Mariposa Electrique]

He saw a cute sparkly top on the way to the garage.


Totally, I'm sure he's not going to die at sheetz, but this stuff is constant. He can't maintain cars but he's going to maintain a house/apartment? I mean my god, he's wearing a fucking tiara..

Completely agree, Mason. Marvin will probably say, "but if he's forced to do it, he'll do it". We all know that's just not true, Chris just doesn't have the executive functioning skills to maintain much of anything apart from collecting toys.
I genuinely appreciate Null, The Captain, and Marvin's efforts, but they're fighting a losing battle on autism. I am sure that there were signs that crappy old van was on its last legs, but Chris refused to see it or he just can't see it.
This could have all been avoided with Chris staying home, lying about not being able to go and using the money on something more practical like car repairs. Chris will never do anything practical, sadly.

 

[The Captain]

He's an hour from home. Why wouldn't he go in the tow-truck?

That's a good idea - I'll suggest that to him. He's 55 minutes from home.

 

[fenny]

Minorly lol.

I swear I'm not in the Die Chris Die camp, but lets face it, his life is a series of setbacks and bail-outs. If his head is ever above water, it's not by his own steam.

Well, she literally flipped everything in Chris's room just for going during his first con.
Wouldnt be surprised if Barb went Primeape-shit

I agree, it's just going to keep happening until Chris finally reaches a huge impasse he can't get bailed out of, and people will really see how well he functions.

 

[Buck Mullet]

Hate to see Chris get screwed on a tow to Ruckersville when it could be an easy temp fix, but if the popo show up and either can't or won't help him and it gets towed locally rather than all the way to 14B, Barb might have to be the one to get it out of impound, if its not registered to both of them.

 

[Mason Verger]

I hope as the tow truck driver drops him off, Chris turns to him and says:
"Hey, you just got to give a ride to a celebrity! *kiss*"

[Pony Horn]

Edit: lol how lucky is he? I can't believe they're dropping him off at home.

 

[Dick Pooman]

The ~$120 I pay for AAA every year is worth it. We all could see this coming considering that Chris needed to beg for money to fix his shitbox jalopy before he left for Bronycon, but being stranded waiting for a tow fucking stinks. At least he's at a gas station.

 

[The Captain]

Just got off the phone with Chris. A tow truck is on the way and will drive him home. The total cost was $102 after State Farm paid a portion. I asked about his mother being mad and she was actually sad, sorry and said she would pray for him to get home safely. He said that she's "too old to get mad" and that she hasn't screamed at him in "quite a while".

Chris assured me he was okay because Magi-Chan and Cryzel were there, and I gently reminded him NOT to talk to the tow truck driver about them.

I can also confirm the gas station got some troll phone calls - people called claiming that Chris was begging rather than being stranded, but the employees believed Chris rather than the calls.
