Oh the horror!

August 10, 2008

I really hate people sometimes. Like, a deep hatred of their character. And this lady i saw as I left work was certainly one of these people who I can feel a DEEEEEEP hatred for. Ok, so here’s the deal. As I was leaving work I witnessed what appeared to be the aftermath of an accident. It took place on the entrance/exit jawn of my works parking lot. There was only one car present, and it seemed to be on it’s way out when the ordeal happened (my guess is the second car had enough courtesy to move). Now the one car that was there was riddled with kids, I mean covered. This woman and her friend (sister, lover?) had at least 5 kids in there, all rather young. It was a minivan, and as the kids hung out the open side door, the driver of this car made herself known. And when I say known, I’d imagine the cops knew where she was before they were called. She was going to town on this dude, I mean full on screaming. “Did you not see my fucking lights?”, “Look how hard you hit my fucking car!”, “I got my fucking kids in there!!”. Just, wow.

I understand how she must have felt, feeling as if her kids were in a present danger, but come on lady. All of the kids were fine, in fact, they all looked bored. None were crying, they just sat there waiting for their mom to finish popping 30 blood vessels in her eye. Honestly, if you care so much about your kids, watch your FUCKING mouth. Every line this woman said was ungodly loud, and littered with ‘f’ bombs. Lady, I know you did not forget about your kids, so why must you be talking like that. Years and years of listening to you is going to scar them much more then that accident will. My favorite part though was how this guy was taking it all. He sat absolutely still, trying to calm this behemoth down. Even though his efforts were meaningless, he kept it up. That takes some serious patience, especially ’cause he probably knew that if he were to curse, he would not hear the end of it from this lady. And chances are it was her fault. people turning onto harbison from the exit love to hog up the entire space provided, so people coming in either have to try and squeeze by, or they must wait for the ignorant ones to move. So I just have a sneaking suspicion this girl didn’t move.

Plus, after the whole ‘accident’ took place (which honestly could not have been anything more then a tap if this guy managed to move his car and blend it in with all the others), she refused to move. As cars tried exiting the parking lot, you heard her once more. “Oh no you don;t, you ain’t fucking leaving, we all staying”. Foreal though? Do you have any type of compassion for any other human being, like…ever. I can’t wait for the cops to get there. She will shut the fuck up, they will tell her to move her shit, and every witness for protest against her so fast. I would have loved to seen it. Better yet, I would’ve loved to seen that guy put her in her place. No! Better yet, I would have loved to go over there and shut her up myself.

People really disgust me sometimes. Why do you need to react like that, it is uncalled for. It does not matter whether or not she had the kids with her, you can not go into a situation like that with a mindset like that and expect to walk out of it with any sense of progress whatsoever. We need to start working together man, or I’m never getting my license.

    Try reading up a little bit on Stoicism. I used to get pissed all the time at stuff like this, until I watched a video on Senaca (the originator of Stoicism) and it helped me kind of get past that. It doesn’t make people less stupid (^_^) but it helps the observer, anyway.
