Speaker 3 (00:12):
Laura, Yeah, okay, Well, you guys know I'm in a
loving and beautiful relationship with my wonderful husband, Mattie Jay.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
You keeps knowing us that.
Speaker 4 (00:21):
You drive at home a bit too much. It makes
me wonder No, no, no, it's great.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
We are great.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Everything is great.
Speaker 4 (00:26):
It really is great.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
But I pride myself on being someone who is very
independent in my relationship. I've always kind of had the
attitude of like, I don't need a man, even though sometimes.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
Haven't you had the opposite I need a man.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Well, no, I'm really self sufficient. I can change a
car tire. I do like to kind of put it
out there that I'm independent and I love being in
a relationship with matt but I don't need him.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Ye turns out I need him more than a thought.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
So the other day I went to pick the kids
up from daycare and I had to drive, so Matt's.
We've got different cars because we work at different ends
of the city. He often takes the kids to daycare,
and very very rarely do I drive his car. I
hate it. The brakes are very touchy, and it's just
not a car that I enjoyed driving. But he had
both the car seats in it, so I had to
swap and use his car. So I went and picked
the kids up from daycare, and I parked on a really,
(01:13):
really really steep hill and I was about a meter
from the car in front, and I went and I
got the kids. I got them in the car, and
here I am and I was like, cool, we'll reverse
out of this car park and then we'll be on
our way. I put the car into reverse and it
starts to roll down the hill. So I quickly slammed
the brakes on, and I was like, I could do
that again. And the kids are in the back they're
(01:33):
already getting antsy, and I put into reverse and then
it rolled down the hill again.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
This happened three times until the car was pretty much
kissing the car in front on this really steep hill.
There was no more room for error. So I am
now in the car kids is screaming, I've got my
foot on the brake and I can't even take my
foot off the break.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
But Laura, couldn't you just put the handbrake on.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
No, because it's the automatic handbrake, so it always rolls
a tiny how it just rolls a little bit, like.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
You were close enough that it couldn't roll a centimeter.
I'm talking this close.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
I was like, if this rolls at all, I am
rolling straight into the back of a Lexic Alexi.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Why did you not just put it in drive and
I will go forward?
Speaker 4 (02:16):
No?
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Because I was too close for it. The hill is
so steep at the daycare that if I put it forward.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
I would have just got one.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Oh my god, it's just so stressful.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
Anyway, you're not putting it in reverse. I don't understand.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
I had to reverse up the hill a little bit
to be able to get out of the car path.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
Yes, but was it not going into reverses?
Speaker 3 (02:32):
I just obviously hadn't read it hard enough for it
to actually reverse.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Okay, So what happened?
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Okay, guys, I'm already stressed by this story. So I
told Matt, I've got my foot on the break. He's
trying to talk me through what to do, and I
was like, I can't. I physically can't. If I take
my foot off the brake, it's going to roll. And
I'm crying and he's like what he says, what are
you doing? He's like, I just put it into reverse.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
I can't put it into reverse ahead the car.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
I made Matt drive from our house.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Twenty minutes to the daycare. YEP. He had to get
in my car and he drove all the way and
I sat there in the car park with my foot
on the brake and the kids screaming in the seats.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
I don't understand. Neither did he. Haven't you ever done
a reverse?
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Neither did he, Britt.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
So he arrived and the kids were like, Daddy's here
to save.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Us, Oh my god, what do you have to sit there?
Speaker 3 (03:33):
So Matt gets out, he goes and parks my car.
He walks over, just like shaking his head.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
How do you switch cars? Though? When you can't?
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Just the brain, so wait for it. I then had
to unbuckle myself. I changed feet on the brake, Like
I changed feet. I climbed over into the passenger seat
so that he could climb in. He put his foot
in his break and then we kind of like did
this swap. He literally sat there, looked at me, and I.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Was like, you're gonna You're gonna hit the car.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
He just put it in reverse and reversed out. And
I will never ever live it down.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
But your car's automatic, isn't it?
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Shut up, Britt, I'm not thinking I get it.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
I get it if it's a hill start in a
manual where you've got to give it more, but it's
an auto.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
It was the dumbest moment of my life. I have
never been so embarrassed. I physically could not drive his
car out at the car park. And he will not
let me live it down.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
He has brought it out embarrassment Lauravin.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
He has brought it up every day. And now I
feel just I feel really incompetent, and I also feel
like I've lost confidence.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
In my tribe. And I feel that about you as well.
I just told Australia, so I mean, come.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
On, okay, if I feel like we need to make
you feel better, it happens, right, Britt.
