ALMOST bought the farm today

I took my littlest to the dreaded grocery store today. HE was thrilled, he just LOVES “stopeensop”. When we came out of the store with him in the cart seat, I stepped into the crossing section since it was clear. BUT the lady who was off to the right decided to make a REALLY quick left (someone was pulling out of a spot close to the entrance and she wanted that spot)…she actually almiost floored it to get over there quickly and came literally within millimeters of me and my cart with little number 3 sitting in it. I screamed and flung the cart - it didnt tip over and VERY narrowly missed getting hit, she floored her brakes and left half her tires on the pavement. Then she rolled down her window and lamely told me “Sorry, I didnt see you”

OMG.

I yelled at her “I SEE that. You were turning left and looking RIGHT. Whats the MATTER with you? You almost KILLED us!”

She just drove away with a face. She was thinking “What a *****” to herself I guess.

I walked to my car and got the cart safely out of the way of traffic then just hugged my little. I was shaking so hard I thought I’d fall down. Then a “medi-van” pulled up and the driver man asked me if I was ok, he got out and loaded my groceries into my trunk for me all the while telling me that some people shouldnt be allwoed to drive, what a moron she was yadayada. WHAT a nice man. I thanked him profusely and got in my car to gather meself. He drove off - to find the moron - and proceeded to give her the tongue-lashing of a lifetime. He was still going at it when I was gathered together enough to drive home and the moron lady was in tears.

whataday.

Glad you and your little one are ok Alhamdulillah. I agree, people should concentrate on the road while driving. We don't take driving seriously but it can take away a life within seconds :)
