Bad: I took DH's car today. On the way home from the Farmer's Market, I hit a curb (or something), heard a really loud BANG! and two seconds later, knew I had a flat. On a busy residential street.
Good: I managed to pull over in the shade and I was only half a mile from DH's office.
Bad: I was supposed to join some friends today for lunch, to celebrate a birthday and I missed it, dealing with the car.
Good: I saved the money I would have spent on lunch.
Bad: DH was wearing a suit today, and I was stopped half on the curb, half off, so we called a tow truck instead of having DH change it (or taking DH home to change, then coming back so he could change the tire). That cost $60.
Good: He only had to tow us half a mile to the Goodyear place.
Bad: Two new tires aren't cheap.
Good: But the Goodyear place is having a special - free oil change with two tires, and DH's car was overdue for an oil change.
We were getting back in my car at the Goodyear place, and I, trying to be all chipper about it, say "When life hands you lemons...." and DH, all grumpy, goes "...pucker up."
Bad and good.
