I was pulling into the parking lot of my grocery store right after I left the gym. The lot has spaces like this, you know, where two rows of cars park facing each other:
-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-
So I'm pulling into one spot & this old lady in a brand new Mercedes SUV is pulling into the spot facing me, & she just kept going--she wanted my spot, I guess so she didn't have to reverse out. I kind of scowled & shook my head, reversed & parked in the next spot. So now we're parked right next to each other facing opposite ways.
I was grabbing my wallet out of my gym bag & my door was open a crack & I hear her say "thank you, b*tch." Here's how the rest of this conversation went:
me: that's real nice. Why don't you try acting your age instead of like a 12 year old?
her: I said thank you!
me: Ummm, I heard the b*tch part too.
her: I guess that's your problem.
me: whatever you say, grandma (OK the grandma comment stopped her in her tracks LOL)
her: have you ever taken a look at yourself? (referring to my physique)
me: yeah, a lot of people have
her: you look like a freak
me: I'd rather look like this than a fat, flabby old lady
her: that's right, & I'm proud of it (duh!
)
So she goes into the drugstore & I go into the grocery store. I was pretty shocked at her behavior--not shaken or mad, just really surprised, especially at the "freak" comment since I just left the gym where like 4-5 people complimented me.
Anyway, I'm in the grocery store & I start thinking.......crap, this lady is parked right next to me, she's clearly imbalanced, & she'll probably finish up at the drugstore before I finish my shopping......and I'm in line trying to see out the window to make sure she doesn't key my car but I don't have a view. I finally make it through the line & lo & behold, she had put lipstick all over my door handle! Of course it was that hideous bright orange old ladies tend to wear.
I actually did call the police to see if I could press charges for vandalism, & the drugstore clerk said they had her on video so I could identify her, but the cops said it was a 4th degree crime & they wouldn't do that much investigating, then told me I was lucky she didn't do any further damage.
So I'm laughing about it now, but the whole experience was so strange.
