Okay, I've got to get this off my chest and into words because it is making me crazy right now. I apologize in advance for rambling and ranting but this story is the type that honestly makes you wonder about people......
So about an hour and a half ago my wife and I headed down to the local Costco to pick up some supplies......we don't even usually like going on Weekends because the place is such a madhouse but we figured that we'd better get it out of the way so we headed down.
I'm going to go ahead and attatch a map from Costco's website to give you all a better idea of what happened and how crazy the whole situation was:
So my wife was driving and we were coming west on SE 56th ST(which has 2 lanes each way and a center turn lane. We were the first car in the center turn lane turning left onto 10th Ave NW which is another 4 lane(2 lanes each way) with a center median - The left turn light went green so we started to turn into the right lane onto 10th Ae when a black Jetta coming from the other direction made a right turn right in front of us basically cutting us off.......so my wife slams on the horn to let her know that she totally ran a red light.
Imagine our suprise when instead of waving to acknowledge that she had screwed up, she instead slammed on her brakes, got out of her car(in the middle of traffic) came back to our car and told my wife: "Don't you ever dare to honk at me again you stupid bitch" At this point and time I got out of the car and started yelling back at her as well, as I wasn't about to let this crazy woman harm my wife......of course she took issue with me getting out of the car and yelled "what are you getting out of the car for?"
It wasn't until this point and time I saw movement in the back seat of her car so I said - "Great, you've got a kid in your back seat, you sure are teaching them great habits!" She of course corrected me and said "That's my grandma" Of course I took this as a great opprotunity to point out what a fine job Grandma had done in helping to raise her and said that she must be proud. (It should be noted that we saw them again in the store later and Grandma didn't look to be completely with it anymore so the whole incident was probably lost on her)
To this she of course plays the "fat guy card" which of course had NOTHING to do with her driving skills, or lack thereof. While I will be the first one to admit that I'm a bit overweight I'm pretty okay with it and it certainly doesn't affect anybody else in the same way that her driving does. Additionally while she certainly wasn't fat she was wearing lowrise jeans and had a little belly fat hanging over which made her look a little chunky and just made the whole thing seem more ironic.
If anybody is still reading then thanks for sticking with me this long, I just needed to vent......but it all does prompt the question....have you ever experienced a situation like this? I know with me personally that I'm not a perfect driver, but if I ever realize in a situation like this that I'm in the wrong then I'm the first person to attempt to wave an apology....this situation was just wacko....ESPECIALLY the whole stopping in the middle of traffic to attempt to threaten me and my wife instead of proceeding on to the actual parking lot to tell us off.
