on my driving ...(post edit)

Well ... it's official. I'm a bad driver.

I know this because of the past three days in a row. Yup, in a row.

Three days ago .. APPARENTLY I cut someone off. They spent the next five minutes flipping me off and yelling at me. The baby blue hummer stayed right on my bumper to make sure I got the message LOUD AND CLEAR. I guess they felt as if I wasn't getting the message because then they had to drive directly next to me and do the same. I gave them the finger back to reassure them that yes INDEED, I got it.

Two days ago ... it was dark out (give me some credit for that) and I was backing out of my spot from King Soopers. I put it in drive and there's an older lady standing there. Then she proceeds to yell at me that I almost hit her and I should watch where I'm going. I put the car in park with the intention of getting out and apologizing. I felt bad. BUT ... BUT ... BUT ... then she took her fist and hit my car. SERIOUSLY??? All of the warm fuzzy .. feel sorry for ... can't believe I almost took out an old lady - feelings came screeching to a halt. Did she REALLY hit my car?? I yelled at HER and then drove away feeling violated. I wonder which feeling was worse ... pity or anger? Toss up ..

And yesterday ... it was dark out (seriously .. not making that part up) .... again - some le-way ... I was pulling out of my neighborhood and instead of coming to a complete stop at the stop sign .. I went ahead and rolled through it ... just in time to slam on my brakes as a huge Ford F350 was passing. They blasted their horn. It was dark but I'm assuming they were inside the truck yelling and giving me some of those popular birds I see a lot. In fact, they were so bothered by my oversight that they not only slammed on their brakes but put their truck into reverse to stop directly in front of me. They clearly put it in park and started to open to the door to get out. At that point I said a little prayer ... I've never been in a fist fight but I could feel that's exactly what was about to happen to me. If I was gonna get my ass kicked though .. I was certainly going die giving my all. I put my car in park ... took a deep breath in and opened my door and got out. Clearly I was intimidating enough that they got back into the armoured vehicle and fled the scene. YEAH THAT'S RIGHT YA WUSS ... R-U-N ... cause you don't wanna a piece of THIS!!! Never saw if it was a guy or girl .. it was too dark.

Hey ... come to think of it - I feel cheated. Don't they know they could have helped me check off my 'get punched in the face' goal on my bucket list?

Bummer.

Anyway ... apparently I'm not such a hot driver. I get people super irate. And NO ... not in any of these three examples did I have my phone in my hand. True story. Perhaps if I text more while driving it would cause me to pay more attention to my surroundings.

Does anyone need a ride? I'm available ...
