driving lesson storytime: a "robbery" and close call

I attended my driving lesson at 8am today. It was going smoothly, but out of nowhere I started sneezing UNCONTROLLABLY. I have a really sensitive respiratory system because of my sinusitis and general allergies 🥲

but there were no tissues in the car so I couldn't wipe my sneeze-tears or my nose

The sneezing attacks continued for at least 3 minutes, and it got so bad to the point that I couldn't see because my eyes were welling up... IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT ON A BUSY OPEN ROAD. Thankfully my instructor reached over to help turn the steering wheel for me but I was stressed as ever.

In a panic I passed my country's equivalent of a 7/11 and told my driving instructor to wait while I bought tissues. I walked up to the counter but there was NO CASHIER 😭😭 

..so I took a tissue box, left the money on the counter (in front of like 2 waiting customers LOL) and wrote a note saying "took the tissue box - here's the money →". Praying no one took the cash but IDK. It was like $2 USD so I doubt it. TBF I did pay the cashier in my own 'lil way.

and also the second I tried to open the tissue box it BROKE rofl... I wrapped the tissue stack with a hairband and winged it

and now I'm back home so ya
