I'm hoping that the new year will bring a calmer air to the shopping centres. Purple Ronnie had her set to with that horrible woman and I had two unpleasant encounters.
Just before Christmas I had parked on the upper deck at Canal Walk, there are three bays in a row, the middle one being handicapped parking. I parked in the left side bay. As I walked away from the car a woman stopped in front of me and waved her handicap disc at me, I smiled and indicated to her that she should drive in. Long story short, she was angry that I was in a handicap bay, I said I wasn't and would in fact never ever do such a thing, she insisted and so I said that in the spirit of Christmas I would move my car. Which I did, Mrs Selfish then parked her car over the center line of the two bays so that no one else could get in. No compassion from me there.
Yesterday when we drove out of the centre, again rooftop parking, we approached a speedbump, quite slowly I might add, a young couple were walking over the bump, she was pregnant and had a toddler with her. They crossed over and we were going over the bump when hubby looked at us and said "F@#%ing idiot" Well. I'm not sure if that was directed at us or part of a funny story but I was tempted to roll down the window and ask if he kissed his kid with that mouth. But, anger only begets anger so I shut up. Did we do wrong, I think not but he seemed to believe us guilty of some heinous crime, after all you don't use such words over nothing.
So,lets hope the intolerant and grumpy either lighten up or stay home in 2010 and leave the rest of us to enjoy life.
Oh sweet child of mine...
