Yesterday evening I ran up to the grocery store to grab a few things for my sons sleepover. It was so nasty out. Cold and rainy, just YUCK! But, being the wonderful mom that I am I trudged forth into the bleak evening to feed my children’s inner piggyness. I keep forgetting it’s almost Christmas and the traffic is horrible. It takes 15 minutes to drive a mile and once you get to where you’re going you get to drive around for another 15 minutes trying to find a parking spot. I’m not a very patient driver. From the minute I turn the key in the ignition, I’m cursing like a sailor – at everyone – everyone drives like a bunch of freakin idiots (except me, of course). I finally snag a parking spot. I get soaked running inside because my kids used my umbrella to beat each other up with the last time they were left alone in the car. I grab what I need, stand in a really long line, get soaked some more running back out to the car – finally, I can get out of this cluster – f—!
This is where it all went wrong. The parking lot is dark, rainy and overcrowded – some dumbass pulls out from another aisle, comes withing an inch of hitting me and cuts me off, fine, maybe he didn’t see me – I let it go – Then, the dumbass stops his car, in the middle of the parking lot driveway and starts to let someone out – that’s it – I Beep my horn, the jerk doesn’t move. I swing around into the oncoming lane which was empty so I could go around this buttwipe and I’m really irritated now – I lay on my horn. I’m driving away, talking to myself about what an idiot some people are. I drive about half a mile and pull into Starbucks. I get out of my car and see the moron driving down the road towards me. I start walking towards Starbucks, the idiot starts screaming at the top of his lungs – I get to the door and the guy had driven up into the parking lot next to the door, still screaming at the top of his lungs – now I’m getting a little scared. I go inside and get in line, waiting for the jerk to run in and start shooting me or something. I know the guys at this Starbucks since I’m there every day, so I start telling them what was going on – we turn and look and the idiot is parked right outside the door. He sits there for a few minutes and then leaves. One of the guys that works at Starbucks walked me out to my car. I was so scared by now I got on the phone with my hubby (an angry Arab) and he meets me when I pull up outside the house. I don’t see the car again. My hubby doesn’t get to kick his butt. But, I’m now left with a sense of fear – people are scary. This guy was a nutcase – He was being an obnoxious driver and I beeped my horn at him a couple times – not enough to be chased down and screamed at. What an asshole! For one second I thought, I’m never going to honk at someone again. But only for a second – I don’t want to be afraid to leave the house and I don’t want to have to tip toe around all the psychos out there. This guy really sucks.
