Angry Death Of R Front Steer Tire By Bottle In Road!!

soooo i had a grreeat nite. blew up a steer tire on my pickup. I was rounding the corner to turn into sizzler for dinner, and as i got up to the corner i felt my tire jump like i ran sumthing over, and i hear a crunch/dull thud, it loud enough to startle me. over my engine. i look in my mirror to see what i hit and i see nuthing unusual just a circle on the ground, so i figure it was a loose manhole cover, no biggie right? WRONGO!! i drive 10-20 more feet to park off the street thinking all is well. i hop out the pickup to hear sumthin like some one is holding down the trigger on an air compressor hose!! PPPSSSSHHHHHHH!!!! immmediately i know i didnt hit a manhole and go to the passenger side too see my tire is already halfway flat, mind you its been about 30 seconds to a min since i ran whatever over. i am like s**t. its my moms bday dinner and here i am w a fricking blown a$$ tire! i walk to the street too see a small pile of glass, the remnants of a bottle someone left in the road, that was whole till i hit it( i was looking for my fam cars and didnt see it, its really my fault but.. what can you do.)wellll by the time i get back to my truck its sitting on the rim. bout 5 min. i am heated!!! at this point. absolutely fricking pissed, so i go inside and tell my mom and dad and my mom insists on calling roadside service rather than letting me change the tire, even though im perfectly capable. so he gets there and i go out he asks me where to jack the truck up from, im thinking, um this is something you should know, but i kept my cool and showd him and then told him hed have to put a bottle jack under my shock mount or my axle on that side to lift it enough to get the inflated tire on because his jack wouldnt lift the truck high enuff for the inflated tire , only high enough to get the flat one off. so he did and i had to show him where that was too.he manages to get it off and there is a perfect 1/2 circle of deeply embedded glass that cut clean thru two treads and all the way into the tire the shards were HUGE and the tire cannot be fixed maybe patched on the inside and used for my spare only. but this 1/2 circle is like 3 in across its huge.you can literally see where the bottle exploded, or it looks like half the bottle(the broken bottom half) was sitting like if you were setting it down to stand up on its own, on the road and i drove over it, and the jagged edges just sliced right thru the tire. he finally gets my spare on and by that time my fam finished dinner and the cake without me, i didnt get to finish mine or eat cake w my mom, they were leaving as i walk in. so i was even more mad that i didnt get to finish dinner or have cake w my mom, my tire is dead, my rims no longer match, my tires are worn and im going to need new ones very soon, and to top it ALLL off my transmission is acting like its bout ready to take a crap on me. ohhh boy
