Story of my life these days down here. People say Bostonians drive crazy but here people drive crazy and stupid. I’ve had people try to pull into my lane from next to me. OMG. One guy I sat on my horn to wake him up basically and he finally looks over a minute later as if I’m crazy. Hellooooo…my baby car is about to get whacked by your crazy car. Wah.
But on another note, after all the crazy bump-ins, I had one sorta funny story. I guess at that point I was sick of all the drivers and I had just finished battling my internet. I pulled out of parking onto the street where this weird setup has cars sometimes pull out horizontal to you in their impatience to get in line for the green light. One car pulled up really close and horizontal to my car and I was like woahhh but whatever since it didn’t touch my car. Then I realized it pulled up next to me. One look over and I did a double take. This woman who looks the stereotype of a trashy cougar with short, badly bleached hair is waving her cigarette at me and screaming through her heavy red lipstick and eyeliner. Whew. I just looked at her and she freaked out even more because I wasn’t reacting. Well, I couldn’t hear her over my AC and music blasting in the heat so haha. Then some two-year old mentality swept over me. I just mimicked her and then looked at her. She paused and freaked out even more. Then I pretended to boohoo which set her off even more. She looked like she was going to fly out her window at me. Then I got bored and looked elsewhere. Green light. Bye byeeeee! lol I don’t know what came over but it makes for a funny story I guess. 😛
Being down here is interesting. A new mix of people and experiences. Having so much time and opportunity to experience so much makes you think about a lot of things. Definitely not used to it yet but I’ll definitely learn a lot.
