Hey Freak!

Poor, victimized mom

OK, so yesterday morning, I was driving around in a residential area... I came to a four-way stop and stopped as people are supposed to do. Some lady in this beat up ol' car kinda blew through the intersection (i.e. she DID stop, but totally went out of turn - against BOTH cars crossing in front of her, almost hitting both) and just kept on driving.

OK, fine, lots of people run four-way stops or stop incorrectly. I get that. But this woman had intent on going when it wasn't her turn. No biggie, I guess.

Well, I had next turn at the stop, so I went... I had to turn right, which meant that I was right behind Ms. Too-Important-To-Stop. So I got a front row view to watching her trying to build up speed and pass someone on the right. In the parking lane. In a residential area. With a school nearby, and kids everywhere. Trying to pass where you're not supposed to pass.

So, I watched her attempt to pass the car in front of her about four different times, each time almost hitting that car. At this point, I made sure to read the licence plate, because if this kept up, I was going to call the cops on her. I'm not one to usually call the cops, but damn, this woman was driving so recklessly that I couldn't ignore it.

Well, traffic came to a stop, and she zoomed in the parking "lane" (it wasn't really a driving lane - just somewhere for people to parallel park) and went about four cars forward, until a parked car stopped her. I thought she was going to cut back in when traffic resumed moving, but no, she was dropping her kid off. The woman was driving like a fool with her 10 or 12 year old kid with her. Sheesh.

But then... after she dropped the kid off, she immediately stuck her nose back in traffic (which had now started moving again), but didn't get back in the lane. Oh, no, she wanted to make a U-turn right there, on a small, two lane street in the middle of traffic. Nice. So, uncharacteristically for me (but not too surprising, considering the week I've had), I yelled at her as she drove by: "Learn to fucking drive, bitch!"

The bitch actually stopped, backed her car up, and got out to yell at me (traffic stopped again because we all missed the light because somebody blocked traffic whilst trying to make a U-turn). "Were you talking to me?"

"Yeah, I was talking to you! Learn to fucking drive!" (again, uncharacteristic of me... I'm usually non-confrontational, but I figured showing weakness probably wouldn't be good here. plus, I was fucking pissed!) It was then that I noticed that she had another kid in the back seat. I didn't see a car seat, but then again, I'm no expert on spotting child car seats, so maybe she had some stealthy on or something.

"I ain't yo bitch! I ain't nobody's bitch! I AIN'T YO BITCH!"

"I didn't say you were MY bitch... I said you were A bitch!"

"I ain't yo bitch! I should slap you! Talk to me like that in front of my kid! I've got a kid here!"

"Well maybe you shouldn't be driving like a fucking maniac then, bitch!" (yeah, I probably shouldn't have added that last "bitch" there either, but oh well)

Luckily, by this time, traffic started moving again, so we exchanged a few pleasant "Fuck You!"s and I drove off. She probably thought I was running from her, but frankly, I was just over it, and didn't want to waste any more time on her.

Man, what is with people? She drives recklessly in a residential area, endangering all the kids around... and then she hides behind her own kids? I'm sorry, just because you're a mom doesn't give you the right to be like that. Just because you're a mom doesn't mean we should ignore your faults.

You know what? I'm pretty much sick of people who say "Well, I'm a mom..."

Let me explain. I'm not anti-mom. I'm not anti-women. If we're talking about baby food, or child car seats, or household cleaners that are non-toxic, or just anything that a mom might talk about, OK, yeah... go ahead and chime in. "Well, I'm a mom..." Yeah. I'll listen to you.

But if you drive like a fucking nutjob and almost cause a car wreck, then your "Well, I'm a mom..." doesn't mean a thing to me. You can't use "Well, I'm a mom... " to excuse your own shitty behavior.

I don't think I'm wrong in thinking this, am I?

Anyway... if you're ever around La Mesa, CA, and you see a beat up car (I think it was an old Honda Accord, late 80's) with the license plate 2XQA425, steer clear.
What a BITCH.
I hear ya! I was once in a similar situation (bad driver, kids in back seat). Honked at this woman to get her attention because the light had turned green and had been for some time (more than 5 seconds...and it was just a "beep" honk, didn't lay on the horn or anything) and she flips me off! So I hollered out my window, "Nice example you're setting for those kids!" and then she proceeds to go through a series of "here let me SLAMONMYBRAKESQUICKLY" every 20 feet just to be a jerk for the next mile.
Damn, that's horrible! Maybe you should've called the cops--that's got to be at least bordering on child endangerment or something! I hate people who have no consideration for the people around them or the danger they might be causing.

Do you still work out a lot? If so, maybe you should've flexed a bicep at her and make her think you could crush her if she insisted on pursuing this argument!
I love that line, "I didn't say you were MY bitch... I said you were A bitch!" Too bad she didn't get out of the car. That's a pretty serious crime if I remember correctly. Your verbal exchange was pretty awesome though.

Nothing pisses me off more than obnoxious drivers.
Wow, I'm totally surprised at your confrontation, I know how you hate that sh*t. Good for you though! I was uncharacteristically confrontational a couple yrs ago, some fratboy a-holes parked their wrangler in our little condo lot (clearly private parking, behind a fence, under the building) and were leaving to go drinking. I got all up in their faces (totally unlike me) and G had to reign me in. I guess I was just sick enough of people parking in our lot. They moved their car.
