My car was making a screeching sound. It was making me feel uncomfortable about driving home which would have been 1 hour and 45 mins. I found a mechanic near by and they said it was the rear break pads. Everything ended up costing $900. My wife yelled at me because I’m “getting stuff done without asking or thinking critically”. She said if it was her she would have driven home and researched more about it. Am I the asshole? I didn’t feel safe driving home.
