funny people
I am not quite sure what it is, but I have managed to have some strange interactions with people during the past few days. After the weird conversation with all the sprint people yesterday, I got cussed out by an old lady today! I really didn't do anything wrong though, I promise. See, I went to see a client and she lived in condo. So I drove up, parked my car, and went inside to do my thing. Well, when I came out, I found two older ladies standing by my car. I wasn't sure why they were standing there, I thought, maybe I have a flat tire or maybe my car is just that cool that people congregate around it. but then I realized they were not happy. and the yelling began "IS THIS YOUR *&$% CAR???" "why yes, it does happen to be my car" "WELL, WHY THE $%#% DID YOU PARK YOUR CAR THERE???" "well the spot was open" (there were lots of open spots) "YOU #$%@#$ IDIOT, YOU CAN'T PARK YOUR CAR THERE, YOU ARE A VISITOR, YOU MUST PARK OVER THERE" (there were no signs or anything alerting me to this fact) "ok, I am sorry, I will not let it happen again" "WELL I HAVE SPENT THE PAST TWO HOURS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHOSE $#@$# CAR THAT IS" (I was only there for 45 minutes) "I am really sorry, I didn't know" I thought that was the end of it but I turned to get into my car and I noticed there was a huge piece of paper taped to the window with some not so friendly words written on it. "THAT'S YOUR #$&*#@ TICKET YOUNG LADY" "yes ma'am, I am sorry" I mutter under my breath as I rip this paper off my window and try to peel of the tape that is pretty much frozen to it. So after that ordeal was over and I peeled out of my parking space. Then I went to the grocery store. I really love the grocery store and I always look forward to going there. This particular trip lived up to my expectations except one small incident (it really was pretty small). Well, first there was a really cute old guy wearing a hoodie but it was tucked into his pants which were pulled up really high. So that was awesome but then I proceeded down the canned soup, beans, etc aisle. There was a man there that started talking to me about how hard it is to go to the grocery store and buy things that are low in sodium. I didn't want to tell him that it really is not that hard but then he started going off on how the heck was he supposed to keep to his low sodium diet when there are 800 mg of sodium in this can of chili??? I really didn't feel like talking so I just told him that maybe he needed to choose something else instead. I quickly finished on that aisle and proceeded through the rest of the store. The rest of the trip was uneventful but I am really just wondering why do people always go so crazy with me?

my goodness - crazy old people cursing at you? it's not like you were in the parking lot of Miss Sherri's and you took one of the 30 handicap spots! Maybe they were some of Grandmother's "friends?"
that was James, not Steph :)
