I go to Starbucks every morning. While I'm feeding my addiction I see a lot of
different people doing questionable things.
I wonder if this happens everywhere people gather of if it's simply
caffeine deprived people waiting to get their fix. I've seen people cut in line at the drive
thru - so rude. I've seen women (sadly,
it's always women) get to the order counter and then have to ask 50 questions
while the line behind them is out the door.
Once I saw a man go through the drive through so they could fill his
water bottle... with water. The other day
I ran into a woman who was talking to her pre-teenage boy and after every comment,
hug and kiss she gave to him she looked around to try and make eye contact -
with ANYONE. That was uncomfortable.
Today I saw a fight.
Well, a confrontation. I hate
confrontations. Even ones I'm not a part
of. While I didn't see the original act
that started this altercation, it was pretty clear what happened.
As I was waiting by the pick-up counter for my Venti,
half-caf, non-fat, no whip, 2-pump Mocha, something caught my eye and I looked
out the window. There was a man standing
with his car door open, wildly gesticulating to a man in an SUV backing out of
the adjacent spot. It would appear that
the man in the SUV had done something wrong and the man frantically waving his
arms and shouting was trying to get his attention. Seriously, the man was either about to take
flight or maybe he was just Italian.
Anyway, I thought that the SUV was just going to leave, but I suppose
the man making a scene got his attention because he circled the parking lot and
came back. They had words and the SUV
parked across the way, right next to my car.
Great. I was going to have to
walk by that Cluster.
It seems that the wronged man calmed down and that they were
just going to exchange insurance information so maybe this was just a very
animated morning. I got my coffee and
turned to leave, checking their progress and noticed that the man who had been
making all that fuss was WRITING ON MY CAR!
SERIOUSLY????
What had happened is that the man saw a ding on his car door
and assumed the man in the SUV did it.
He was so irate that he flagged the man down and demanded his insurance
information which he copied onto some paper using MY car as his desk. The SUV driver politely redirected the man
OFF my car and onto his own with a wink to me.
I smiled at him and then asked God to give the man a medal!
The nerve of some people...

Awesome. Felt like I was there! And I've seen the water bottle thing too! With my road rage combined with massive impatience I probably shouted some profanity at him and blew my horn. Thus making everyone else at sb feel uncomfortable!
