People Suck

Here's a little story about my weekend:

I had the day off on Monday (yay for me!), so I decided to go spend a little bit of Christmas money and go shopping. As I expected, the mall was INSANE! I knew finding a parking spot would be hard, I didn't even attempt to look in the spaces close to the mall. Just as I rounded the corner, I saw reverse lights come on from a car in a parking spot. Lucky for me! So, I put on my signal and waited for the car to pull out of the spot. Just as I was about to pull into the space, a car came zooming down the wrong way and pulled into my space!

I was dumbfounded.

What kind of rude, inconsiderate people would do this? Teenage girls, that's who. So, I honked and gave them a dirty look as I drove past them. I decided not to waste my breath by getting out of the car and giving them a piece of my mind. Instead, I drove on and looked for another space. As my luck would have it, another car at the very front space was pulling out right as I approached. Karma does work in my favor .... sometimes. I pulled into the space and saw the girls walking toward my car. As they walked passed I saw them flip me off and yell some obscenities at me.

So let me get this straight: You act like a moron, you steal my parking space, you are the rude one, and yet you think that I deserve to be yelled at and flipped off? I'm a bit confused here.

I tried to let it go. But I just kept thinking about how angry they were with me. And why? What did I do to them? I was so worried that I would come back out to my car to find that it had been keyed or "BITCH" spray-painted across the side. I only stayed in the mall for 30 minutes and then left. Can you believe that? Can you believe I let something so stupid interrupt my shopping extravaganza? Can you believe that someone would be so outwardly rude to another person? What is this world coming to?

teenage girls are pretty tough when there's more than one of them. if there had been just one of them, i guarantee one look from you would have brought her to tears.

makes you want to yell TOWANDA and ram your car into theirs over and over and over again.

"face it girls, i'm older and have better insurance."

Nytro - That was EXACTLY what I was thinking at the time this haneous crime was committed. I wanted to ram my car into her just like in the movie. Mmmmm, fried green tomatoes sounds good. I just might have to go get some from Archibald's tonight.

When you were telling that story I totally thought TOWANDA!! I never yell at person face to face but I sure give them a piece of my mind from inside my car. I'm weak sauce, lol.

people suck.

and, i know i'm making myself sound old, but i swear, me and my friends were never rude that way when i was a teenager. i never would have behaved that way. even if i'd've tried, it would have ended up being a friend of my mom, guaranteed.

Did you ever see where that happened in Fried Green Tomatos? Kathy Bates rammed their car and said "You may be younger and think you are pretty, but I am older and have more insurance."

It.was.awesome.

I'm just sorry your spending spree was cut short; that sucks.
