Man, what a day! I swear, Sassenage really knows how to throw a curveball. So, I’m a car instructor, right? And today was just... wow.
First off, I roll into town, and it’s like, “Hey, Sassenage, what’s up?” I’m driving down Rue de la République, and I’m already feelin’ the vibe. The sun’s shining, birds are chirping, and I’m thinkin’, “Today’s gonna be chill.” Spoiler alert: it was NOT chill.
I pick up my first student, a dude named Max. Nice guy, but man, he’s got the attention span of a goldfish. We hop in the car, and I’m like, “Alright, let’s hit the road.” We’re cruising down Avenue de la Gare, and suddenly, he’s like, “Whoa, look at that dog!” I’m like, “Dude, focus! We’re in a car, not a petting zoo!”
Then, outta nowhere, this cyclist zooms past us on Rue des Écoles. I swear, he was going like 100 mph. Max freaks out, slams the brakes, and I’m like, “Bro, we’re not in a Fast & Furious movie!” My heart’s racing, and I’m just praying we don’t end up in a Sassenage hospital.
After that little scare, we head towards Parc de la Mairie. I’m tryin’ to teach him about parallel parking, right? And he’s like, “What’s that?” I’m like, “Seriously? You don’t know how to park?” So, I’m showing him, and he’s all over the place. I’m yelling, “No, not like that! You’re gonna hit the tree!”
And then, guess what? He actually hits the curb. I’m like, “Great, now we’re gonna be the talk of Sassenage. ‘That car instructor who can’t teach!’” I’m so done at this point.
But then, outta nowhere, we see this street performer on Rue de la République. He’s juggling flaming torches! I’m like, “Dude, that’s sick!” Max is distracted again, and I’m just shaking my head. “Focus, man! You’re not here to watch a circus!”
Finally, we take a break at a café on Place de la Mairie. I grab a coffee, and it’s like liquid gold. I’m feelin’ a bit better, ya know? But then, I spill it all over my shirt. Classic me. I’m sitting there, looking like a mess, and Max is cracking up. I’m like, “Yeah, yeah, laugh it up, buddy.”
After the coffee disaster, we hit the road again. This time, I’m determined to make it work. We drive down Rue de la Fontaine, and I’m trying to keep my cool. But then, we get stuck behind this old lady walking her dog. I’m like, “C’mon, lady! We got places to be!”
Max is laughing again, and I’m just like, “You think this is funny? This is Sassenage, not a dog park!”
Finally, we wrap up the lesson. I’m exhausted, but I can’t help but smile. Sassenage is wild, man. It’s got its quirks, but it’s home. I drop Max off, and I’m just thinking about how crazy today was.
I drive back through the streets, and I see the mountains in the distance. It’s beautiful, really. I’m like, “Okay, Sassenage, you win this round.”
But I know tomorrow’s another day. More students, more chaos. Bring it on!
