Fail Hard: Stuck in the mud

This story takes place in the same area as the Stuck in the Snow story. This time it was summer, and I wasn’t in a truck, I was on a 3-wheeler that I bought for $250. Now 3-wheelers were banned for a reason, they are unsafe…blah, blah, blah. But this time, it was my own stupidity that caused this fail. It was Sunday and while still in my church clothes I decided to take the 3-wheeler out for a quick spin. Nobody would service these things so it had it’s problems, but the biggest problem was no tire tread. The tires were all bald, but it made it easy to do burnouts on. It also made it impossible to traverse mud with it.

Knowing fully about my tire situation, I decide to tackle some mud. Turns out it’s the kind of mud that sucks you down as soon as you get in it. This 3-wheeler was now up to it’s axles in mud. Me, I’ve got my nice church clothes on and no cell phone on me. Time to jump in the mud and start pulling. It took roughly 30 minutes of tugging and pulling and getting nowhere before someone happened to drive by and pulled it out with their 4-wheeler. On the way down, the caked on mud was flung every which way until I was completely covered. Church clothes ruined, and no lesson learned as I tried again later to go through mud, but faster this time! It was mostly successful except for the thing tipping over upon exit.
