MY WIFE SAID HER CAR WAS ACTING WEIRD—SO I CHECKED AND FOUND A NAIL THE SIZE OF MY FINGER IN HER TIRE
She said it felt like the car was "wobbling" a bit when she got on the highway. Nothing major, just odd. I figured it might be low tire pressure or maybe something off with the alignment. I told her I'd take a look after dinner.
The next morning, I walked out to the driveway with a coffee in one hand and a tire gauge in the other. Honestly, I was expecting something boring—maybe a soft tire, maybe nothing at all. But as soon as I knelt down by the back left tire, I saw it.
A giant, rusty nail was jammed straight into the rubber. Not some little tack—this thing looked like it belonged in a railroad tie. The weird part? It was angled, as if it hadn't just been accidentally driven over. It looked... deliberate.
Initially, I thought maybe she picked it up in some construction zone, but we don't live near any, and she only drives to work and back. Same route every day. I sent her a photo and she texted back, "Oh wow, didn't even notice that."
I was about to brush it off until I remembered something else. Last week she'd mentioned some guy at her office offered to help her with her car. Said it felt "off" too, and he told her it seemed like "a suspension issue." She said he was just being friendly.
Now I'm sitting in the garage, staring at this stupid nail, wondering how it got driven in at that angle... and why it didn't cause an immediate blowout.
And that guy from work? I just saw his name pop up on her phone... Full story: https://weloveanimal.info/archives/14653
