A series of unfortunate events

The car got stuck.

Everybody's gone home. Nobody to drive me home.

I needed to hail a cab. But I only had $2 cash in my wallet. A check wouldn't do.

Called a friend. Already asleep.

Had to check the bag for coins. Found $4 (of coins), enough to pay for the taxi service.

No cooked food at home.

Midnight supper.

Headache.

No bearable TV show.

Had to wake up early to ride with somebody to get to work.

Car needed repair.

Left car keys to auto mechanic.

Oooops, I gave the wrong keys. Couldn't open the house door.

Needed to ask somebody for a ride back to the auto shop.

Home, finally.
