Old Ladies

I was in line to buy a lamp at a local thrift store today for lunch when an old lady behind me jumped line. I wanted to say something but thought that would be mean as she was old and humped like a whale. She then tried to pay for a 25 cent ice tray with a $20 bill causing massive confusion from the cashier (no registers). I dropped the cashier a5 for the lamp to hurry and leave but when I came up to the exit a car with a handicap plate was blocking it. That same old lady made it to her car first, pulled out of the space, and blocked me in the parking lot. There was only one way in or out. I''m assuming she was looking for her glasses, for 2 or 3 minutes, which stoked my anger since I was going to be late getting back to work. Finally, after all that quick moving to get in front of me in line, then quickly getting out of her parking space to block traffic, she goes 15 mph up the road ignoring the 35 mph speed limit. This actually gave me a taste of road rage.

At this stage I can only follow my grandmother''s own way of dealing with goofy people who you should never show anger towards, "God bless her heart." I just needed to rant. I feel much better now.

They should at least give warnings to people who drive like this; I think it could get them to pay a little more attention to how annoying they are

I would have been cussing and banging my fists on the wheel! OOH I''m mad just reading this! I hate how people can be so oblivious to the fact that other people indeed exist, and have things to do. I feel like I probably pay too much attention to other folks while driving, I guess to make it interesting.

Yes she''s old, but I can still get mad-I''d never ''let here have it'' or anything violent, and age is an excuse, but driving is one thing that really gets to me!
