Amusing and expensive trip to starbucks

[slngsht]

so, it's a nice morning here, and I had some free time, so I figured I should put the top down and enjoy a drive and a cup of coffee.

 

The local starbucks is in a shopping center. As I'm sitting outside, enjoying my coffee, this lady pulls up in a Volvo. The lot has big light poles, and the 4 parking spaces adjecent to each pole have the little concrete curbs to keep people from hitting the poles. The lady pulls into one of these spots, and proceeds to not just hit the stop, but drive over it, with a loud metal crunching sound from under her car. At this point, I'm rolling my eyes at another female driver. But wait, there is more :laughing:

 

As she is trying to backup over the curb again, there is a guy walking down the lot to his car... he is just about to clear this SUV (he can't see her yet), as she guns her engine and comes shooting out of her spot. Fortunately the guy stops.

 

The she moves over a few inches, AND DOES THE SAME EXACT THING AGAIN!!! drives over the curb, with grinding from under her car :crazy:

 

At this point, the guy is just standing there, refusing to cross :lol:

 

So she guns it again, backing up and comes shooting out. On the 3rd try she moves one spot over.

 

As she's walking to Starbucks, I figured now is a good time to get in the car and go home, before she gets back into her wrecking machine.

 

As I walk back to my car, this other lady in an Escalade pulls to within a foot of the side of my car... I'm about to give her the :skep:, but she is asking for directions. So I give her directions, and as I'm about to leave, this black dude comes up to me asking for money. Normally I have a policy against that, but the dude had just come out of the ER from across the street and needed money for a prescription. I walked him over to the pharmacy to pay the pharmacist the $14 he needed. It turns out Maryland has a prescription program for the uninsured, so the bill was $9. It's interesting that my copay with my $1200/month COBRA plan would have been $10 :crazy:

 

I paid for the guy's prescription, checked the lot twice for the psycho lady, and went on my way.

 

Fun trip.

You car was safe from the crazy woman, you were obviously sent there to help someone. I admire your compassion in taking the time and trouble to pay for the man's prescription.

I guess what goes around, comes around... or does it...

 

I walked out this morning to get in the car, and saw a nail in the shoulder of one of my rear runflats :nonod:
