My CAR.
...well, okay, it's probably just an unusually scary-looking flat tire. I was pulling out of the parking lot of my apartment building to go back to work and it started limping and making a really scary BANG BANG BANG noise, so I pulled over, and... that sucker's not going anywhere tonight.
It was nicely timed in that it happened an easy walk from my apartment and right next to a tire & automotive shop. Not so nicely timed in that I was supposed to work another four hours tonight, and had in fact been asked to stay an extra fifteen minutes because people had called in. But considering that it was 7:30 on a Saturday night and there was no one I could, say, borrow a car or bum a ride from... no help for it. I called in, left a voice mail since they don't man the resource central line at 7:30 on a Saturday.
Edit: Got a call back from one of the managers at work, who apparently got worried when I didn't make it back in and managed to check the messages. Official word is don't worry about it, they're happy I'm alive and not stranded someplace scary.
Hopefully should be all fixed by Tuesday. I hope.
