I Know I Was Taught To Never Get In a Car With Strangers...

So flying back to CT yesterday was kind of like hell. I flew to NY and then sat around in the airport for two hours waiting for my flight back to Providence RI. Except half hour AFTER our flight was supposed to leave, a man I had been sitting with in the airport went to ask about our flight and the ladies said, "Oh yea, sorry, your flight was cancelled." They weren't even going to let us know! Then they blamed it on weather so that they wouldn't have to give us food or a hotel for the night, cause they couldn't guarantee our next flight either. Let me just tell you there was no weather in NY last night-it was a clear day-no snow, rain, wind, etc. whatever.
So there was three guys and me that got screwed so I suggested that we just get our money back and drive across CT to RI. One of them offered to put it on his company card and said they would cover it. I was totally in, but didnt want to drive with just one stranger, so i convinced the other two guys to come with us..better odds if one of them was crazy that the two others were normal.
In the mean time, I call my dad who is already at the RI airport waiting for me (its an hour from my house) and I tell him to go home, I'm driving now across CT and that Im going to make these guys drop me off somewhere along the way across CT. He is happy cause he has to work tomorrow, and doesn't want to spend the night waiting in RI to see if I might make a flight in.
When my mom finds out thou, shes freaks out. I loved it-second time in two weeks I threw my mom for a loop-AMAZING.
Needless to say, I got all four of us refunds, I got all our luggage back, and I got a free ride! They weren't psychos and I didnt get raped or murdered-it was kind of a win-win. I made it in record time, and got dropped off even closer to my house than if I had flown!
