wWednesday, February 05, 2003 Laura = victim of senseless geriatric shopping cart road rage ok, so in addition to my last blogg, i have had the oddest experience ever that further repudiates my notion of bizzare driving behavior. At Cosco, sampling yummy foodstuffs. YUM! this salmon is rather tasty! " how did you make it?" i say. " With our very own lemon pepper, window 754" he says. " its delicious ! " i say. " Thank you" he says. then BAM !!! WHAM!!!!! i'm hit ! i'm hit !! i have no idea why i'm on the floor but my butt hurts mucho mucho. I have just become the victim of some senseless geriatric shopping cart road rage. A very fake apologetic look followed by an even more fake " sorry" resounds from an elderly lady, obviously wanting to laugh but feels some what slight remorse for her senseless act. And vroom vroom. She's gone....with her stupid Depends Undergarments and her denture wash loaded in her vehicle of mass destruction. A truly senseless and tragic act.....commited by yet another unsuspecting geriatric fellowette.......who probably just recently got her California DMV license renewed by some drunk, bitter social worker who doesnt give a damn. This is the risk people take, when they choose to shop out in public with these fiends. I think i'll try some online shopping from now on. =( posted by Laura at 11:33 PM w Life in the rear view mirror may be a lot dumber than they appear is it me, or have the drivers in the valley gotten so much more ridiculously senseless and rude? i cannot understand the bizzarre behavior that has come over almost EVERYONE on the road..... i have even gotten cut off by policemen twice within the past week ! and some stupid blond chick in her silver mustang nearly blew out her brakes driving at 50 miles/hr about 200 feet before the stoplight to cut me off to be first in line to make a left turn. As if that wasn't bad enough, this stupid girl was doing her make-up or what not, and missed the first left-only signal light. Now this is a very long intersection, and if we miss this, we're talkin another 4 minutes till the next one. I politely honk at her, while the guy behind me is going berserk. She finally gets the hint and moves probably two inches cuz its too late and the light turned red. I listen to another complete song on my CD and become increasingly irritated. " She better remember this one....it would be a freak accident if she missed this" i think to myself. I look at her in her rear view mirror while she repeatedly jabs her eye with a clumpy mascara wand. ITS GREEN !!! THE LIGHT IS GREEN !!! Go, bitch racer, go !!!! DAMNIT !! she has no clue !! no hold barred, i honked that horn as if there was no tomoro. COULD THIS BE? is it actually happening? DUMMY !! another 4 minutes, and all thanks to the damn blond girl doin her make-up, and all the while i'm lookin at her in her rearview mirror,jabbing at this, pulling at that, stretching at this, pat pat pat at that.... pathetically thinking..." sorry hun, but that make-up aint helpin....you should just give up the fight..." HONK HONK HONK !!! the 3 cars behind me are going nuts !! She missed it again. Third times a charm. Green....she PEEEEEELS out.....chyeah, she should if she knows whats best for her. And where does she come to a screeching halt? To the Wendy's pick-up window EXIT curb that she could have entered in the designated ENTRANCE....which of course, was on the other side of the road whence she originally came up at 50 miles/hr to cut me off at. Talk about dumb. yikes. posted by Laura at 11:23 PM
