It's Never Felt So Weird To Be Alive

So I was heading out yesterday when I noticed that my tire was a bit flat. I decided that I would go down the street and pump it up a little at the gas station. A few seconds after I started pumping I started to hear a weird noise and then POW the tire exploded and practically in my face. Apparently, this more often than not results in death. Luckily, I am unscathed (I keep checking for holes in my body, though.) and there was a used tire service center across the street. I am never going to inflate my tires again.
