Stupid pot holes!!!!!!!!

So this afternoon I was in a great mood. I was dropping off my brother at the lounge where he left his car last night, and then picking up Kyle to do some grocery shopping and hanging out. As I was driving to Kyle's house I was honestly thinking to myself "I'm so lucky I've never had a problem with this car and don't constantly spend money fixing it like Kyle has to with his!" Anyway, it's been melting like crazy here, and I was following an SUV down the road and at the last minute saw a huge splash ahead of me. There was a big puddle stretching all the way across the road. I hit the brakes to slow down, and just made sure no people were walking by that would get splashed. I was halfway through the puddle when I there was a huge BOOM BOOM and I really really thought I did something to my bumper. I even looked out my back window to make sure nothing fell off my car!
I just drove the rest of the way to Kyle's house and got out of my car and went straight to the front to make sure the bumper was still intact. There were no cracks or anything so I was relieved and started walking towards his front door when I heard a SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS sound right behind me. I walked back to the car and noticed my front passenger tire losing air. Then I noticed my bent rim.
I went to his door and rang the doorbell, and waited, and waited, and waited, and I got so frustrated that he was taking so long to answer the door, and so mad that my tire was flat, and so worried about when and how I can get it fixed... I just started crying. He answered the door and made me feel better and called a bunch of places for me but nothing was open today
It was just a terrible day for me and I needed to vent about it. My roommate said she drove by that area later and it had all been blocked off. I wonder if I'd be able to get some money out of the city for it, or if it would even be worth it to try.
