grrr...
Road (parking lot actually) Rage..
---
Last night my friend and I tried to get Audacity to tape both sides of a conversation (we're considering a podcast in the near future). I would have been happy just having each of us record our own audio and then I can bring it together later. The problem is it records both of us, only the other person is barely audible, just enough to be heard but certainly not enough for the final cut. So when I merge the two files there will be an echo... I think I messed up my XP Sound settings while trying to sort it all out. Now I need to find a way to reset them. Ugh...---
Yesterday I ran to Stop & Shop to pick up a couple things. The lot outside was pretty full. This SUV was pulling out of a spot right in front, so I pulled up a bit, threw my blinker on and waited. It took them a couple minutes to actually pull out and then I saw her in the distance. An elderly woman driving a massive Cadillac. She saw me, I saw her and then out comes this gigantic hand from under the dash (it looked about the size of her head) and hits her signal blinker.
------
I was sitting there with my mouth sorta open. The SUV pulled out and I proceeded to head into the spot. That's when Granny gunned it and shot right in, nearly hitting me head on (I was partially pulled in). Ok so my mouth is wide open now. The people in the SUV had stopped and were staring at Noah's ark and it's ancient pilot, the driver (of the SUV) just looked at me, shrugged in disbelief and drove off. Stunned and unable to think I pulled away and found something (eventually).---
The old witch started fiddling with something on her front seat when I walked past her car into the store. She waited until I was inside before getting out, as I could see her from the lobby window.---
Why is it that the entire time I was in the store I had this irritated and unsettling feeling?
---
You know it's easy to dismiss the "Road Ragers" as lunatics...
---
but seriously ... I don't think it takes a lunatic to be livid over something so unimportant
---
It's almost like the blatant lack of respect really hits some sort of nerve..
---
Oh well, I got over it eventually
---
tho I did stare her wrinkly ass down in the Deli section..
---
Fixed her good I did! :)

Studies have shown old people aren't rude, just uninhibited

Is the media going to alert us each time this boy falls in and out of a relationship?
---
I admire him heaps for coming out, but still ..

---I thought this was too funny :)

On the road rage thing, I had an encounter with a school bus driver (woman) last week (driving in the opposing lane - head on towards me) who thought because she drove a school bus she was above the law. GRRRRR...
I heard about the Bass-Lehmkuhl(sp?) breakup, but I did not hear why. So soon after Bass came out, it makes me wonder.
I started parking in far away spots simply to avoid the madness.
And, might I add, that -once again- I have picked the most popular Persian! I must have an eye for hotness!
You handled it well, better than I would have i'm sorry to say!
The video was a great find, thanks for sharing.
I would have let her wreck into my car and then we'll have seen who was on top. You had a witness--the people in the SUV, plus the fact that the accident would have shown who was at fault--based on where your car was hit.
I feel bad for Lance. I hope his breakup wasn't too messy.
I wonder who has a bigger wand: Harry or Draco? ;)
enjoyed your post - this was my first visit.
People who steal other people's parking spots, especially at the holidays, should have their tires flattened. You like that spot so much? Stay there! :P
As the LDS say, "choose the right" and I think you did.
I'm proud of you :)
Those old lady whuppings are the worst.
