Pensacola, FL — Pensacola, Florida resident Bert Demmings is having a rough week. Not only did he forget to take out the garbage on garbage day, but he also managed to accidentally bathe his beloved Chrysler minivan in his backyard pool.
According to neighbors, the incident occurred when Demmings attempted to wash his minivan in the driveway. “He was just hosing it down like he usually does,” said one witness. “But somehow, he ended up backing it into the pool.”
Demmings, reportedly distracted by a squirrel running through the yard at the mishap, didn’t realize what had happened until it was too late. “When I turned around and saw my minivan in the pool, I was like, ‘Oh shit,'” said Demmings.
Despite the chaos of the situation, Demmings managed to keep his cool and quickly called for help. “I didn’t want to panic, so I just grabbed my phone and called my buddy who has a tow truck,” he said. “He came over and pulled the minivan out of the pool, no problem.”
While the minivan was thankfully undamaged, Demmings is now tasked with explaining the incident to his wife. “She’s going to kill me when she finds out,” he said. “But hey, at least the car is clean, right? The bag of diapers got soaked, so I’m out $40 for that or whatever diapers cost now. And my Creedence tapes got wet, so that sucks.”
So there you have it, folks. A cautionary tale about the dangers of backyard pool-washing. But hey, at least Bert Demmings can say he’s had a truly unique car-washing experience.
