Ida swore up and down at the bitch. you should took her license dow.What a day at the grocery store! I just got off work and was stopping to pick up a few things. Apparently so were 83 other people.... not including their children in tow.
I get to the check out line.... yes singular.... 15th in line 3 BTW.... and several unruly customers got verbal enough that the manager did a quick PA announcement:
Attention shoppers! Not 15 minutes ago there wasn't a customer in the building. I made a haste decision to let 4 employees take a cigarette break and 2 are visiting the little girl's room. Please be patient. Thank you.
Then the speaker makes a loud squeak and here he goes again....
Attention Randy, Robert, Bruce, Lenny..... Get back to your posts STAT! No ifs, ands, or cigarette butts! Attention Linda and Marcie..... Get back to your posts STAT! And please wash your hands first. That is all.
Hehehe.... I made the announcements up. Went more like this:
Attention Cashiers! Back to your posts STAT! Dave! Clean up on aisle 2.
I heard the jar of something hit the floor too! Kind of a craaacccckkkksplatttttt sound. It's true!
Anywho... I was whisked off to the 12 items or less line by the stampeding cashiers and was out the door within minutes. Life is good. Sometimes.... well not for me once I got to my car.
I pushed the shopping cart of groceries up to the rear of my car and hit the TRUNK button on my keypad. Damn thing wouldn't open and then suddenly the car... my car.... lurches! I'm like WTH? I catch sight of this big ass honkin' Ford that the paint is totally worn off of from sunscorch with a grayhaired elderly woman peering out the window at me mouthing something. I step between my and her car and look at the two shopping carts pressed up against my front fender! She pulls forward and the carts immediately release themselves from the fenders of both vehicles. I survey the area and expect paint scratched or dented fender or something. NOTHING! I am flabbergasted. I mean... my fender isn't plastic or the kind that pops in and out at will. It's metal!
I look straight at the old woman and say you really need to put the carts in the corral.... just the other side of her honkin' Ford. She looks to barely see over her steering wheel and mouths something else giving me dirty looks.
Meanwhile, 2 men in a truck right in front of her spot are watching this whole thing with a look of amusement on their faces. I just smile politely and nod.
I get back to my trunk and pop it open. As I start to remove the first bag.... the old woman pulls forward a bit to straighten her car.... she backs up and no lie.... one of the shopping carts is hugging her fender! She slams on her brakes and the Ford boat starts rocking... One of the guys in the pickup truck runs up to the car and pulls the cart off. He looks at me and is shaking his head. A big smile on his face. Some people is all he said. I nod in agreement and say.... she's a crack head no doubt!
Finally the woman backs out of the spot and I worry for life and limb as she cruises slowly past me standing there using my shopping cart as protection with one bag in each hand. I thought about writing down her license number and reporting her as a drunk driver to the police..... but I didn't have it left in me to be so mean.
After all that.... I made it home safely.
It did dawn on me though.... I could have used so many cuss words on that silly old woman..... but I'm sure she could have spit out her chew and taught me a few knew ones. So... all in all.... it's just another day in the neighborhood..... just sayin'.......
I had an audience. :ninja
Besides.... she wouldn't roll her window down and she looked mean and ornery. Sitting in that big ass Ford, she could have been bigger than me and I wasn't taking any chances.
I am a lady you know....... :nod:
Windows aren't that thick and I can speak high volumes when i'm pissy.I had an audience. :ninja

Red you know - good for you!
That old lady could have been having an off day too! I know we have all had those days where we think "I bet they wonder if I am on crack."
You cussing her out would have just furthered the negative cycle. You made a good choice and the world is better for it.

What a tale. I don't get anything too exciting like this either. I think the most recent thing I recall was going back to my car, putting the shopping in the boot, about to drive off as I inch out of my parking spot and as if from nowhere - an elderly gentleman appears gesturing frantically towards his glasses no doubt telling me I need bigger ones. He must have thought I was going to run him over, although honest guv - I wasn't.
I thought so too after all was said and done. But then.... there was no damage to my car... If there had been damage I might have blown a fuse and gone off on her like it was the end of the world..... :willy_nilly:
*sigh* I luvz ma cah........ :nod:
Let me tell you about the last time someone hit my car..... first... have a seat.... this could take a minute or two depending on how fast you can read.....
I was at the County Court House to be a witness to a wedding ceremony. The groom was heading off to the Middle East and the bride was a friend of the family. Anywho..... we were in line waiting our turn, when someone noticed that the video camera was still in my car.... because it wasn't in the hands of the person who should have had it. So... off I went to my car to get it.
I was parked on a side street about 100 feet from the front doors of the Court House. As I made my way down the steps and onto the sidewalk.... I looked to where my car was parked. Before my very eyes, a high rider pickup truck went to parallel park in front of my car and between another... and ran right into the front side! The car rocked and lurched, and the truck started to drive off! At this point I was hightailing it and yelling for someone to get the guy's license number. The truck ended up parking about 8 cars up...
I looked at the damage on my car.... caved in fender, brand new tire all marked up and pushed over! I had a fit! I walked as calmly as I could toward the pickup truck. Out stepped a woman. She was sort of stumbling.... The first thing I blurted was you hit my car! She ignored me. I walked in front of her and said hey! You hit my car! She mumbled something and started to stumble away. I said hey! Have you been drinking? By this point a small crowd had appeared and I was feeling safe in the knowledge they would somehow protect me in case this woman went nuts on me.
She denied that she hit the car. She said she couldn't fit in the space and I didn't know what I was talking about. I couldn't believe it!
Eventually, several witnesses stepped forward and told her what they had seen too. She said she didn't recall hitting anything and wanted to go inside the Court House. She was also attending a wedding ceremony. And she was late! I told her at this point, it would have to wait until I at least got some information from her.
I pulled a pen and scrap paper from my purse and asked her her name and address and phone number. I wrote down her license number. She dug out her insurance papers to prove she had insurance.
BTW.... She wasn't drunk. She was on medication as it came out later.
Because I was talking so long, one of my friends came out to see what was going on. She grabbed the video camera from the car after I explained the situation. She then started recording. First the damage on my car and then the truck. And then nonchalantly... the woman who had hit my car.
We agreed to each attend to the wedding ceremonies inside and call the police right afterwards.
Since we were all in the same line and going into the same room, we could keep an eye on her. They went first and we were 2 after her, so one of our friends 'babysat' this woman until we were finished just in case she decided to take off.
The Police station was down the block, so we decided to walk there to file a report. That took about an hour. One of the guys we were with pulled the fender off the tire and we decided it was safe enough to get it home.
The car ended up being repaired a few days later and looked just like new again! Didn't cost me a dime!
So.... yes... this time I was lucky with the old lady.... or.... maybe she was lucky. We'll never know, eh?
