I have been driving for about nine years.
In that time, I have had relatively few incidents with cars. I had a flat tire in high-school, one time I backed into a Red Lobster and I may or may not have driven past someone in traffic and accidentally taken off their sideview mirror.
In nine years, I'd say that's pretty damn good.
Since living in Boone, that has all gone to pot.
Six months ago, I had to buy a new car because the transmission fell out of the previous one.
One month ago, I drove from NC to Indiana with a nail in my tire.
Three days ago, I found yet another nail in my tire.
As you can imagine, I'm getting right cranky up in this cookie.
I took my car to my new favorite local mechanic to get the tire plugged. When I picked it up the next day, I told him in passing conversation that this was the second time within a month that I'd had something stuck in my tire.
He told me that there had been several people in lately for the exact same thing.
"Why do you think that is?" I asked.
"Walmart," he said.
I blinked, certain I had misunderstood.
"How's that now?"
"Well, you know all the construction they're doing over there? Parking lot's a mess. Bolts, screws and nails all over the place."
Dear God.
Walmart really is ruining my life.
And now I have proof.

So little love for Wally World.
I once had someone knock on my window at a red light -- I had eight (yes, EIGHT) roofing nails sticking out of my tire.
I had not been near a Walmart.
see...i'm telling you woman...wal mart is hazardous to your health AND your car! although the last time i was there i did get some pretty awesome sex advice...sooooo....i'll probably go back.
So when do the "People of Walmart" pictures start showing guys in mullets on the side of the road with flat tires in their RV's?
i KNEW that walmart was evil. and not just because of that creeptastic rollback dot that watches you from every shelf.
Myeah. At least you didn't go there to get your tire fixed. You'd have been back there. Twice.
I'm sorry Walmart hates you.
Finally! Proof. Thank you Sara no H!
Actual proof.
Makes me want to kick walmart in the groin.
Eff a WalMart. FINALLY we have proof of how evil they really are.
I'd sooner eat a box of those nails than ever set foot in the actual store.
Cranky up in this cookie, OMG Priceless!! Hope your summer has no mo car issues!!
Glad you finally have proof!
I really wish I didn't have to shop there.
Dear God, not only are they trying to get us to buy there cheap food and cheap clothes, now they have sunk as low as to sabotage their own parking lot to get us to buy their cheap Chinese tires!
Dang that Walmart!!!
I swear, they should pay for any tire repairs. Jerks.
Wal-mart can suck it. And you should send them the bill for your tire repair.
See how they like it!
I'd rather die a fiery death than go to WalMart.
There are usually [unenforced] laws and regulations about the clean-up construction crews are required to do on the roadways. You may want to look into it, because they might be liable for whatever you paid to get stuff fixed.
Just a thought... :-)
Damn Walmart.
I think you should take your proof to the authorities. Either that or create a rebellious vigilante group dedicated to writing the wrongs of Walmart. With a cool theme song.
That is EXCELLENT proof!!!!
Thats part of Walmarts plan to increase tire sales.
Awful when someone (in this case something) is out to get you.
WalMart is Of The Devil. This is further proof.
I am nearly certain that every negative thing that has happened in my entire life can be traced back to Walmart.
Ick.
that. is. ridonculous.
Damn Walmart!
Maybe you could find out why there is always 1-2 screws in the street at the crosswalk by my house... every day.
Confusing.
I'll bet they hire someone just to go out to the parking lot to sprinkle nails all over the place. Like some twisted easter bunny.
I hate walmart but with the price of groceries around here at other local stores it's so much cheaper to shop there so I am forced to deal with it. I never would have thought about their construction.
I hate getting nails in my tires!!! It never takes too long to fix but it's the whole issue of doing it over and over and over again!
That's Rich! Wal Mart !@#$%^&!!!
