Mean old battle-ax lady


Okay I literally have not blogged in 2 weeks. Whoops....

I have quite a few things I need to blog about but this totally takes precedence.

So I go to Tom Thumb, right? No big deal. I go to turn right into a parking spot. Some CRAZY OLD BAT is coming through the parking spot direcctly in front of my parking spot. This crazy comes pulling THROUGH her own parking spot into mine, so obviously...I stop and wait for her to back up. Um. no. This nutjob sits here and throws her hand up in the air. And I'm like...SERIOUSLY?? I'm pulling into MY parking spot...what are you doing and why are you half way into mine. So I eventually figure out that she was wanting to be able to get in her car after the grocery store and avoid backing out of her parking spot. So instead of backing into a spot like any other considerate person would do...she pulls through her spot and into mine. (I doubt I'm doing a very good job of explaining this.) So anyway. After she so rudely motions me to move I motion the same to her -- and I end up crossing my arms as if to say "fine you old bat. I'll wait you out...I have allllll day" (which I have done before). So then she pulls up as close to my car as she can, throws her can in park and gets out. So she is now in the MIDDLE of two spots. So...being me I roll my window down to shout "I can't believe you just did that!" but she runs the other way. Not sure that she thought this through because we were both going into the same grocery store. So I run in and try to hunt her down to scream "KARMA!!!" in her face but she can't be found. I kept staking out the ice cream isle (lets me honest...I kept thinking I'd find her there) but no luck. Finally I talked to my girl Sarah who told me to calm down and that yelling at her wouldn't help anything. Of course then I see her (still on the phone with "just be nice" Sarah) so I just gave her the stink eye instead.

This was probably the worst explanation of this encounter but I swear...I was still talking about it an hour later. I was so horrified at the lack of manners -- I'm usually a really nice person. I open doors for people, help strangers out when I can, wave when someone lets me in, etc. etc. So I just couldn't believe it! As I was walking into the grocery store a lady stopped me and said "I just saw that!! That was terrible!! She was so rude!" So I'm glad to know it wasn't just me. I believe in karma and hope that lady gets slapped with it hard one day. *eye roll*

So this ladies car is the taupe one parked in between the others. Ruuuuude.
