Let me just preface what I'm about to share with you by letting you know that there are few things in this world that surprise me anymore. I'm married and I have four kids so I think I've seen just about everything. Now that you know this about me, let me set up for you the scene that took place last night in the Target parking lot. Yes......., I know, for those of you who have read any of my blogs you know that I frequent bargain stores.I can't resist a good deal. Even if it is on stuff like 10lbs of generic bologna. Like I've said in the past, don't judge me. I digress.
Ok, so it's about 8:30 last night and I finally leave Target which was actually not as horrific an experience as I thought it was going to be. As I'm scanning the parking lot to try and remember where I left my car this time, I notice a couple with a shopping cart full of goodies on the way to their car. They looked happy. Like they were finally done Christmas shopping and didn't have to go into another stinking store until after Christmas!!! Do I sound bitter because I'm not done shopping?
After about a minuet or so I finally spot the aisle where I'm parked and head for it when all of a sudden I hear a loud scream. It was the happy couple! What could possibly ruin being done with Christmas shopping ?!! I turned to see what was going on and watched a man backing out of a parking spot directly into the wife and their shopping cart, but it gets better. After he hits her he straightens out his car, pulls back into the parking spot, backs up again, hits her again then pulls into his parking spot nice and straight, gets out of his car and goes to walk into the store. Now I'm thinking, this man obviously knows he hit this woman, I mean she's not bleeding but he hit a human being!!!!!!!!!! So the husband goes after the guy and says, "Hey !@$#% hole, where do you think you're going, don't you realize you just hit my wife?!!!!!"To which the driver replies, wait for it, wait for it, " Well !@#$% hole yourself, your wife shouldn't have been behind my car!" What?????????? I really couldn't believe what I had just heard, but nothing could have prepared me for what was coming out of this idiots mouth next. He looks at the husband, who's about ready to charge at him and with a staright face says" Who do you think you're yellin' at and what the hell are the two of you doin' walkin around in a parking lot anyway? You're just stupid you two shouldn't be walkin' around in a parking lot!!" I guess what he said stunned the husband just as much as it did me because he just stood there in shock staring at this moron as he walks into Target. Who hits a person and then blames them for it? Who does that? Heaven forbid anyone should walk around in a parking lot, who walks around in a parking lot to get to their car anymore ? That argument makes about as much sense as me telling my four year old to flush the toilet after she's done to which she replies, " but I can't reach the sink!"HUH? So if I say, you hit my wife, the obvious response should not be, "Well why are you walkin' around in a parking lot!"
All that to say I guess there are still a few things left in this world that surprise me.
