Wed 11 Apr 2007
Yesterday evening, Mr. W and I dropped off his son at the gym (we’d both worked out at lunch already and weren’t feeling fighting the after-work crowd for a second session) and went to a nearby mall to kill time until we had to pick son up again. On the drive to the mall, Mr. W got a phone call from his parents and we stayed in the car after parking so he could finish the call. As he gabbed away, I watched a guy joined at the hip with a girl walk to their car in the parking aisle we were facing. I first noticed him because he was carrying a Victoria’s Secret bag in his left hand, and slung across his left hip and opposite right shoulder diagonally was a rather effeminate looking brown cloth bookbag. His right arm was around the girl. He opened her car door, she got in, he handed her the Victoria’s Secret bag, then removed the cloth bag from his shoulder and handed that to her as well. I realized it was HER bag. As he circled around the back of the older-model teal car to the driver’s side, I wondered if his testicles were also in that fabric bag. He got in, and they proceeded to back their car out the “wrong” direction of the angled parking aisle. Mr. W was now hanging up his call, and thus could comment, “Oh, THAT’s nice,” as their teal car banged right into the back of a pick-up truck parked behind the whipped guy’s car across his aisle. We both got out of Mr. W’s car. The teal car pulled forward away from the pick-up, still going the wrong way, slowly. And kept going. I yelled out the license plate number to Mr. W. At the end of the aisle, the losers slowed and paused, watching us. YES, there are WITNESSES, you weasels. Mr. W waved his arm at them, motioning them to come back. They didn’t move. And then when they did, they turned away from us and took off.
What a puss! Mr. W wrote a note describing the vehicle and I gave him a juicy description of the driver, explained what had occurred, left the time of the incident, and stuck the note on the truck. Walking into the mall, I wondered if the teal car would circle around and come back to see if we’d left a note, and take it off the pick-up. Then I realized if they’re gonna do a hit-and-run with 2 witnesses, they’re gonna be too chickenshit to come back for fear that we’d still be there, and maybe the truck owner would be by then, too, and if we didn’t get his license plate # the first time, now we just might.
So to the 5’7ish Latino/Filipino 180lb male with his 5’5ish 160lb Latino girlfriend driving a late 80s model teal Ford Probe (?) parked at the Westfield Mall and committed a hit-and-run at 8:30p last nite, BAD KARMA VIBES to you!!!
That’s cool that you and Mr. W stopped and wrote that guy a note. Good Karma to you guys!
Kudos for turning the losers in to the owner of the truck, and double kudos for standing their making it obvious that you witnessed this, some would have just kept walking.
I should blog about the time that happened to me after exiting a movie theatre… thanks for the idea!
Vanessa – I hope so! (Good karma.) I do work in the justice field. 🙂
Jordan – Sure, no problem for the free idea. I’m just givin’ ’em out, anyway. Here’s another one: blog about the super duper crazy workouts you did back in the cheerleading days when you were 70 lbs. And here’s one for Vanessa: blog about the female friend who used to “practice” her massage techniques on you instead of on her boyfriend and then made a move on you! 😀
I am trying to earse that memory. Did I tell you that husband came to my Dad’s memorial and totally confronted me about wanting to know why I stopped talking to the, what happened and to let me know that he is divorsed and that we should hang out? Dude, how goes to a memorial service to pick up on someone? Now do you see why I am trying to earse?
pretty girls attract drama. That’s why I’m so peaceful. 🙂
yeah thanks for the ideas….
I didn’t do crazy workouts for cheer .. I was pretty athletic and slim when during that time.. it was learning the strict routine that was monotonous because every single second counted… if we weren’t on cue, then if I was thrown up in the air, I’d land on my head coming down, so it was “getting it right” that was crazy… I didn’t weigh 70lbs in high school.. I weighed 90. I think I was 70 in 6-7 grade..
I should’ve known you’d be the flyer. 🙂
Cindy what are you talking about? You are a SUPERFOX! You are just one of the lucky ones that don’t attract/allow drama!
Vanessa–“Allow” being the key word. Apparently I roll around in it like it’s a pile of money (according to some). Personally I hate drama but I’m not gonna let someone commit a crime and get away with it. Way 2 go Cindy!
Vanessa, oh you sooooo have to blog about that massage incident! That will make such a great story! It’s book worthy I tell you, book worthy!
Cindy, bravo for you and Mr. W for writing the note down. I’m glad someone out there still does this.
TurboTiger – I am trying to erase the memory, not have it in black and white forever! But you never know… I just might post about it one day 🙂
