My morning started off with a brisk 11M run around Flatwoods. It was fabulous and as always, a great way to start the week...nothing would ruin my mood.
Well, then I pulled into our guard gate.
I've been having trouble with my bar code...probably because it turned 6 years old on Saturday and needs to be replaced (Side note: There's no way I'm spending $10 on a new sticker at this point). So often times I have to back up and go through the scanner again. The person in front of me had the same issue today, and I gave her room to try again. But when I went through, the arm didn't raise and a minivan was on my keister, leaving me no room to reverse.
So I looked back and gave a Will-you-please-give-me-some-room-here? wave. Apparently as I backed up the gate went up, and I saw it when I faced forward again and I drove through.
When I looked in the rear-view mirror I saw CrazypsychoIndianlady barreling through the gate and she was instantly right up my @$$! I drove the speed limit (25mph) and she was nearly touching my bumper!
I drove a few houses down, but I just couldn't stand it. I threw my car into park and jumped out and went to her window (By the way, I was pretty sure her minivan bumped my car).
I asked, "What's your problem?" Her reply was that I didn't drive through the gate. I said, "The gate didn't go up and I had to reverse and go through again. I needed you to give me a little space to do that." I have no idea what I had done wrong, but she ranted on and on...all with her kid in the back seat (great role-modeling). I repeated again that all I needed her to do was back up and give a little space between us.
Apparently CrazypsychoIndianlady was late for the latest episode of Jerry Springer.
I could see the conversation was going nowhere, so I got back in my car and started to drive the speed limit...and CrazypsychoIndianlady was on my tail in an instant!
Seriously!?!?!
I pulled over and let her pass...and didn't understand what she was yelling at me through the window (and the poor guy driving behind us kept his distance). I followed her til she turned. There was no way I wanted CrazypsychoIndianlady knowing where I live.
The WTF alarm was ringing once again...
Times change and so do I!
