So, I’m backing out of a parking space at the middle school (junior high for you non-Midwesterners). As far as I know, my reverse lights work. And, this dude in a red Suzuki pulls up right behind me, blocking me in, and parks to let his ‘I’m in no hurry to slowly get my lunch and my backpack and my jacket and talk and dawdle and finally leave’ teenager out of the car.
People, especially men, should be very careful of how they behave. You never know when you are going to run into a divorced single mom who is very much in the “anger” stage of healing.
I thought of the scene from Fried Green Tomatoes where Kathy Bates crashes into another car and says, “Face it girls, I’m older and I have more insurance.” I had to talk myself out of backing into him. (Admittedly, it wasn’t difficult because I am pretty sure I don’t have more insurance than him unless he has something less than minimum liability.)
But that would have been really cool if I did
