Always During The Holidays...

I get in my car yesterday after work and my key won't turn in the ignition. I do the normal stuff of fiddling with the steering wheel and so on. I decide to call AAA to come take a look at it because I didn't want to break my key in the ignition. An hour later the locksmith shows up and informs me that my ignition was basically worn down to nothing and my key was worn down and it had to be replaced. It ended up costing me $115. The good thing is that they could fix it on the spot. Also, at least it happened after work and not before work. But it was a 2 and a half hour ordeal that annoyed me. And of course dropping that much money, especially during the holidays, is never fun! Oh, and then the guy asked me where I was from and I said Colorado, And he was like, "Yeah, you don't seem like you are from California!"...
WTF?
