mechanic:
‘The airbag part is backordered so we have to postpone your recall appointment for a few weeks.’
me:
‘Oh okay. Hey, it’s been a while since I read the notification, remind me what the issue is again?’
mechanic:
‘There’s a slight possibility the airbag won’t deploy in the event of an accident.’
me:
‘Oh!’
*laughs*
‘Haha okay, see for some reason – I don’t know why – I thought there was a chance that it could just suddenly explode and the pieces would fly everywhere and kill me.’
mechanic:
‘Oh, no, that’s not the issue. Just that it might not actually work.’
me:
‘Well that’s good to hear.’
We live in dark times when I’m relieved to hear that my airbag isn’t going to blow up and kill me. It just simply won’t deploy.
