People are so rude

[Jennasis]

I took Dh to the doctor this morning for his post-surgical follow-up. He had shoulder surgery on Wednesday. After leaving the dr I was helping him into the car. He has his right arm in a sling and covered with this ice-pack vest. He's also super doped up on pain meds. So I'm buckling him in and getting his feet all adjusted when another car comes whipping into the parking spot next to us (on the passenger side). Yes this is the empty spot I am standing in while getting DH in the car. The lady driving sees me and continues INCHING forward until I could actually feel the heat from her front bumper....her intent clear.

MOVE.

I glance up at her and hold up a finger as in "just a sec" with a polite and apologetic smile. A second or two later, I finish and reach for the passenger door to close it (Dh cannot close it...no right arm remember?) and I literally just get my hand on the door frame and this loon starts inching into the space again!

Her bumper now inches from my knees!

I give her a "WTH" look, shut the door and go to walk around the front of my car, as I'm walking out of the spot, she's already gunning the car the rest of the way to pull in.

Dh starts muttering some not-so-DIS-approved words about this idgit as I get in the car. I figure she must be in a life-or-death hurry to get to the ORTHOPEDIST....but no, she lingers in her car for a bit, rummagin through her purse. Then she gets out and strolls to the office door. I am in disbelief but pull out of my spot to drive away. The kicker? Her license plate:

LUVSJESUS

Damn, you should have screamed and said "You HIT me" and fell to the ground.

PEOPLE ARE SO RUDE!

Today, I couldnt agree more. I hope your husband is feeling better.

 

[Sheree Bobbins]

It is sad how some people, yea even some Christians, are thoughtless, ignorant and rude. I hope you DH is feeling better.

Now THIS would have been a funny sight!!

I usually come up with witty retorts wayyyyyyyyyy after things like this happen. To late of course.

Op i hope he has a speedy recovery.

Any one who has to have a sign on thier car or anything else saying that they are a "CHRISTIAN" usually does so because there is no other way to tell.

They usually don't act, live, or behave like a Christian so they must have a sign or how else would you know. In my experience the worst examples of a Christians are always the ones who advertise it. Just seems to be a common thing I have noticed.

Also beware of people who have bumper stickers (secular or not) or grown people with loads of stuffed animals in their rear window.

 

[Beastlover]

Maybe she really wasnt Christian.

Maybe her significant other is named Jesus...

Simple case of mistaken identity.

 

[sbell111]

Yup. People are jerks.

However, you determine whether you let them affect you so much that you have to vent about it hours later.

Does Mickey and Minnie count? LOL

I have to say in my experience I've noticed the same thing, and they're usually the ones who are telling me how I should live my life too >.> but to be truthful it is my life to lead the way I want to...

I thought any decent human being would understand, I'm sorry to hear about that very rude person...though if it was me I'd have just taken even longer (I'm kind of cruel like that haha )

Couldn't agree more!!!

Yeah, yeah, yeah, but sometimes the actual venting helps you get over it. You just gotta get it out first.

 

[Buckalew11]

She probably lingered in her car because she was afraid if she got out you might approach her. She was probably "brave" pulling that car in but when she made you mad, she was probably just a coward hiding behind her big car, lol.

I probably would have said something to her. Esp. since the lot was empty and there was no reason for it.

 

[Handbag Lady]

See now I'm an agnostic and I would have done one of those half-in-the-space parking jobs, gotten out, and then helped you get your husband in the car okay.

But that's just me.

I don't know if this was a vent, so much as a recounting of an event. Certainly not affecting me more than having created a desire to share my experience with my DIS buddies.

And sometimes I DO have to vent about nonsense hours after the fact, to get it off my chest. YMMV.

 

[MerMom60_94]

I'm usually pretty laid back, but this woman would have put me over the edge. I would have either stood in her space with my hands on my hips giving her my p.o.'d look that said "bring it on", or better yet, I would have closed my door and stepped aside long enough for her to pull in. Then I would have rushed back and opened my passenger door nice and wide (as in, oops did I dent your car??) and then she would have been stuck there in her car until I finished. Finishing, of course, would have probably taken me a really long time since I would have forgotten where I left off and would have had to start all over again. I don't do rudeness very well.

Must have been. I don't think Christ would have done that.

 

[metime]

I wouldn't have said anything. If I have to tell someone they are being a Dumb *** it is a waste of my time.

Yesterday I was driving properly in a parking lot making my way to an exit when an old bat came flying across the parking lot over the parking spaces as if the rows aren't even there and almost plows into my minivan. She slams on her breaks and gives me the finger as if I did something wrong by using the parking lot at the same time.

My daughter said " why didn't you do anything?" and I said "It is punishment enough that she has to walk around being her less evolved self everyday."
