Seattle Man Uses Twitter to Apologize for Traffic Jam

On Friday, Michael Micheletti was driving along a Seattle interstate, when his BMW suddenly stalled and came to a stop in the middle lane. The incident led to a lengthy traffic jam and left Micheletti feeling pretty embarrassed. So, he decided to apologize for the inconvenience, via Twitter. "That black BMW stalled in the center lane of I-5? Yeah, that's me. Sorry, I don't like it either," the man wrote. The tweet quickly caught the attention of many other amused locals, including the Washington State Department of Transportation, which warned other drivers to "give Mike some room." Once help arrived on the scene, Micheletti posted a few more tweets, to thank everyone for helping out, and putting up with his car problems.
