one of those 'situation went out of your depth/control' eveningsdriving a transit van for the first time today I got it stuck on a hilly windy lane in the middle of nowhere, at midnight, the exhaust got stuck in a bank so the engine wouldn't start till I had to dig the mud out with practically my bare hands, and then with a friend (who owns the van) trying to get it unstuck from the bank - had to get lots of rocks to get some grip

I was driving the van home aloneleaving him & family+friends camping out on a hill, so had to call him for help to get unstuck, and then he got a call from the camp saying some drunk twunts who were camping nearby were 'in the vicinity' which severely increased the urgency to get the van unstuck and him to get back and tell them to fuck off
finally managed it, but it left me somewhat shaken - don't like driving at the best of times, prefer my own two wheels of my electric bike

were the drunks a threat of some sort?the way you say "in the vicinity" makes me think they're armed in some way
