Reminds me of another family t-shirt I saw....

"I smile because you're my brother.
I laugh because there's nothing you can do about it!"

Had the same reaction -- chuckled all day over it!

Whoami- It took me years to find the right guy. I was 34 years old when I finally got married. It drove me crazy when other would say, "just be patient" the right guy will come along. Well, WTF it took years and me giving up. I hope your journey to love is much shorter than mine was! By the way, my DH was worth the wait.

Yesterday during my lunch hour I was going to get a sandwich, and i drove around and around the parking lot trying to find a space. I saw a lady getting her kids in the car, so I stopped and waited for her to back-up. Well, this lady was taking her sweet time. Cars that had pulled up behind me were going around me on the right, no biggie, there was plenty of room, and I gave the friendly "wave" as they passed. Well this one b**** pulled up behind me, as if she was waiting for me to move, and then she perceeded to pass me on the left, just as she was going around me, the lady who was in the spot, began pulling out. And this b**** whipped into the spot. I waited for that spot for 10 minutes.

Well folks, I lost it. I lost all self control. I rolled down my window and said "I know you saw me waiting for that spot." She shrugged and said "you didn't have your signal on" And then I turned red, and screamed at her "Listen here b****, I have been sitting her for 10 minutes, how about moving your f***ing car, right now!"
With that she says "well, you could ask nicely." and she said it all smart too.

And I said "Please move your f***ing car."
And she said, "Nope" and walked with her nose in the air in front of me into the store.

I don't lose my cool very often, nor do I use expletive words in front of DD, but it angered me to no extent. Just talking about it now is pissing me off. It took everything in my power not to plow her down when she walked in front of me. Then my mother, who was with me, rolled down her window, and yelled some choice words to her. Pretty mature, huh?

I am not proud of this. And it scares me that I got so angry so fast, and lost control. I wanted to ram into her car, very "fried green tomatoes". I also wanted to bash her face into the car door.

Now, everytime I see a car that looks like hers, I look to see if it is her, so I can finish telling her what I think of her.

Slap me on the hand, but I am tired of these people.

If you did that here the person probably would have dragged you out of the car and beat you down.

Escapee....just reading your post made me mad!! I can't believe the nerve of some people!!! What did she think you were doing sitting there?? Having a bloody tea-party?!?!

I don't blame you one bit for blowing your lid, I would have too however depending on if I was hormonal or not I might have even taken it a step further and let the air out of one of her tires!

pant pant...ok...I'll take a deep breath now! lol

Peace, ladies. When things happen that are beyond my control, I just thank the good Lord because I figure I'm right at the time and place he wants me to be.

For all you know, Escapee, by the time that woman got back to her car a meteor might have crashed right through the middle of it.

The Bible says to give a blessing instead of a curse. I know it can be hard to do in a difficult situation, but the feeling of peace is worth it. Try it next time someone ticks you off, and let us know if it made any difference in your feelings.

I know Op is right on this but you can't help to be p.o'd about things like that. I have never had that happen to me nor have I done that to anybody. It would be nice to know that I could handle it without going to jail,LOL.
Just realize that some people are rude and it will come back to them, vicious circle it is.

I guess I'm the contrary one to cause I probably would've done the same thing if you didn't have your signal on. That's what signals are for imo. But I'm ghetto so what do I know.

I would have done exactly what you did Escapee, plus the keys , plus the tires , plus what Mocha said. As much as I would love to say I would do what Ophilia said, it just wouldn't happen, nope, Sainthood isn't in my cards.

Honestly, it has nothing to do with sainthood. It's just not worth the feelings and misery to get so upset. I practice it for my own sanity.

I would have figured that she was in the right place at the right time for me to let the air out of her tires. Perhaps while she was waiting to get towed, she avoided an accident that would have killed her.

LOL Zachsmom...too funny!

I think yelling at her was fine if it made you feel better. I like to let things out rather than bottling them up.

So you didn't have your signal on, if she was courteous like me she would have asked you by waving or indicating the spot and once she realized you did want the spot she should have moved. JMO.

Sorry Mocha, misunderstood, but that is me, always confused.

Ophilia, wasn't refering to your actions as Sainthood, your way of thinking is clearly the right way. Just saying that although I know you are right I am not the type of person who could do it.

I was far enough to the left that she really had to squeeze to get past me, when there was plenty of room for her to go around on the right. She was planning on passing when she saw the lady start to pull out, she even stopped, slightly glanced at me and whipped in. She knew darn well that I was waiting for it. A woman getting out of her car on the other side of her, saw what she did and was completely shocked. After the girl walked off, she said I can't believe she did that. I wanted to follow her in the store, but I drove away, away from the sandwich shop, across town to another place, far enough away that I could control myself.


I had PMS, and I was starving.

What a cow, she deserved every word you and your mother yelled at her. I hope she isn't one of those weirdo's who gets off on it!

I hope it made her feel really small!
