Scared off the road by Deathtime for Women

So I was up late last night doing laundry, since we're booked solid all weekend and I don't want to be chained to the basement anyway, and I caught this show on Lifetime for Women: What Should You Do? Hosted by that bastion of talent Leeza Gibbons, it showed all these worst-case scenarios while you're driving, like going off the road in a blizzard -- and having the car buried in a huge drift, subsequently having your battery die RIGHT BEFORE the radio DJ announces on the air that Ms. Stupidhead Going Out in a Blizzard should honk their horn at 10:30, then throwing your cell in the melted snow in your car. This other chick REENTERED HER CAR while pumping gas, causing a spark that set her hairsprayed-in-place hair aflame, which subsequently caught her freaking gas tank on fire.

After these brain donors looked at the camera all doe-eyed and talked about how they were lucky to be alive, they trotted out these experts to tell you WHAT YOU SHOULD DO if in a similar situation.

Now, I have a well-documented anxiety disorder. I own all the editions of the Worst-Case Scenario Handbook, but with my imagination, believe me, I can think of some worst-case scenarios without any help from a book. But I have never seen so much shit go wrong in such a short time in my life. And the "actresses" who portrayed the hapless women? Priceless.

I think I will do my laundry earlier in the day so I can go to bed and miss all the fun.
