up and down and up again
Had such a good day today, great mood, great weather, hanging out with my family. The neighbors had a garage sale and let us sell some stuff over there, so we were running back and forth all day, playing and visiting.
Then some rude woman road-raged all over me and it just bummed me out. And freaked me out. (She followed us! WTF?? All because I wasn’t doing what she wanted me to in traffic. ie — I didn’t run down a pedestrian — I waited for him.)
Must. Not. Let. Other people’s moods splash all over me. Then I start snappin’, cuz they’re snappin’! People, we are human beans, not alligators. No snappin’!
Argh.
Now feeling okay, but it’s bedtime. Maybe I’ll stay up for another hour, just to enjoy not being all pissed off. Seriously, it was creepy. And if someone who is road-raging follows you? Drive to the nearest police station, don’t park and pretend nothing is happening. (Like I did.)
Yes. She saw where I parked and keyed my car.
Some beans are the snappin’ kind. For instance, sugar snap beans. Oh, wait. Those are pees. I mean, peas. Hmmmm…. does that difference really matter? I say throw out the semantics, and the lexicon, and just snap away (or pee away, doesn’t matter to me) at her. Hey, a bean (or pea) has gotta do what she’s gotta do.
(If you’re of the peeImeanpea variety, I say: that’ll learn ’em.
Yes, I’m thinking in Redneck today. It’s the only other language I’m fluent in. You’re welcome.

By the way, sorry your car was keyed. That’s just lowdown and mean. And if you were lucky enough to get her license #, hopefully the police can track her down. :(

That’s awful, WM, I’m sorry.
You did the right thing to wait for the pedestrian! It’s always safest to not react in kind to those types of people–violence can escalate and they’re out of control, so . . .
