my Sister just texted us, she's trapped in a car wash!

[ Edited ]

I'm not joking.  The track is stuck.  It's been over 50 minutes now. 

 

edited to add:  she's out now.  she's okay.  She said it was only about 20 minutes.  I guess she forgot to tell us when she was freed. shheeesh!

OMGosh.  That is funny.   Her car is going to sparkle!

I think she will get lots of free car washes from now on.

 

Tell her not to roll her window down to yell for somebody....

@Elri   @Mary BaileyI don't think it's funny and I doubt the sister does either.  I hope whoever is in charge of this operation is aware of her predicament?   It seems like this has the potential for damaging her car?  I see a lawyer in her future.

That's why I will never go through one of those "self-serve" type car washes.

 

If I can't get out before the car goes through I don't use it.

I was always scared of car washes when I was a kid, I think I'd be freaking out if that was me right now. 😟

@Kachina624  they know she's in there.  I don't know if there are other cars or she's the only one.  I know she's claustraphobic. I'd be freaking out! I'm extremely claustraphobic.

@Mary Bailey, I hope that your sister is okay.  I cannot imagine being in this situation.  Hopefully, she did not panic and was able to call 9-11; or, even better, there were attendants who were able to stop the car wash and get her out.

The next time that I hear salt and ice together, it better be in a margarita!

She's ok.  She's out now. There was one other car behind her.

@Mary Bailey

 

Of course, I hope she is okay.  I would never laugh at a person in danger of real harm. It sounded funny.   

 

Why don't they unplug the main whatever it is?  911 sure is slow.  

 

 

Forgive me for being rude, @Mary Bailey.  I certainly meant no harm.
