The other day, my son and I were coming home from karate. It seemed
like every idiot was out there, driving with us. On the way to karate, we had a
lady cut us off, almost hitting the front left side of my car, but on the way
home, we met a real winner. Or should I say WIENER.
So this guy comes out from behind us, totally speeding until he got
stuck behind some mini-van (better him than me, so I sped up (so he couldn't
zoom passed me either)as I moved into the Left turn lane.
Unbeknownst to me… he finagled his way from behind me, to next to me.
Unbeknownst to me… he finagled his way from behind me, to next to me.
I am in Left turn lane #2, he was in Left turn lane #1. As the light
turned, I started my turn. Two seconds later, the A-hole next to me is cutting
me off to get into my lane so he can make the next Right… as were we.
So we are driving and I tell my son, see, this is what scares me about
you being on a bike, or out walking… If these people can cut me off and I am in
a two-ton car, then imagine what that would do to motorcycle or a little kid
like you?
Just then, we pulled up to the light together. I rolled down my window. (yes you had to know
something like this was gonna happen) and I say to the guys, HEY, ASSHOLE…
(yes, I have taught my children how to cuss by merely sitting in the back seat of
my car although the first time my daughter said SHIT, was the last time I said
that word or any word close to it in my car again… but I digress so moving on…)
I have kids in my car. Do you mind driving like a normal person?
He had to know that when I rolled my window down that I was about to
exchange some not so niceties with him because obviously, this was the type of
loser who got yelled at often because he was ready to sling the insults the
second he saw my car window move.
He was armed, ready to give me a ration … he started to scream, saying that I needed to be careful, and then he
yelled at me to, “Pay attention to the road, Lady!”
This also says to me that this isn’t his first drive-like-you-are-riding-a-bull
Rodeo. In fact, I imagine by the way he was swerving in and out of traffic and
cutting me off that this guy is always called out on his driving … In fact, I am willing to bet that he sees
people going for their windows quite often on a daily basis!
For me, it was a teachable moment… especially as he went to make a Left
and wasn’t quite paying attention cuz he focus was still on me that he made a
Right turn right into the back of a white Honda. OOPS!! My son and I got a
great laugh about that… hahaha idiot was driving bad, trying to blame us and he
hit some car.. hahahahaha… I have to say that we got a great laugh out of it.
In fact, my son turns around and looks at me and says, “Mom, that guy
got his karma by hitting that other car!! Get it Mom, CARma!
You had to be there!
