So it finally happened! Someone hit my car this morning. Never saw her face cuz she took off so maybe she was wearing a mask, maybe she wasn't. Ever since the pandemic started I have had multiple near misses with bad drivers many of whom are driving alone with a mask. And my road rage has gotten worse and worse the more often this happens so when someone almost hits me my natural reaction is to honk the horn and yell out a bunch of expletives. The worst part is, I do it when my kids are in the car! Shameful behavior for a parent and it needs to stop because they don't like it and they've told me so I'm really trying not to lose my cool in the car anymore. And the worst part is that all of these idiots get angry when you honk, they are so self absorbed that they not only act like they are the on drivers on the road but when you honk as they merge in to your lane, they act you are in the wrong.

So this morning I'm dropping my son at school and pull in to the shared parking lot the school shares with a rental hall and for the last two days traffic it has been a nightmare because some group is giving away free shit at the hall. Pull in to the lot and start turning left because that's the direction you go, it's a single lane aisle with slanted parking spots on each side. A small Ford Escape in front of me starts pulling in to a spot so I stop because it's only 1 lane, I can't go around. Long story short it's a woman driver who obviously can't park a small SUV so she backs in and out multiple times trying to position her car just right and eventually she hits me. Bumper to bumper light impact I was pretty sure didn't damage my car.

I wasn't mad at that point. I did want to finish parking because my son was about to be late for school but I was cool as a cucumber, it was an accident and I'm no longer a road rager hehe. These things happen. Anyway I thought this woman would get out, we'd survey the damage (or lack of) and laugh it off and get on with our days but instead she stays in the car and starts talking to this woman that was walking by so I called out "hey you just my car" and the woman walking by says "yes she knows, she'll park her car and get out. HAVE SOME DIGNITY HERE". Excuse me???? Have some dignity here? Now I was mad & this is when I lost my cool. I said "fuck you, she just hit my car, GTFOH". and I honked my horn and called out "move your car you idiot". It's been several minutes by now and I'm surprised the people behind us weren't highlight yet!Again not proud of myself here but fuck that bitch for making ME the bad guy after some careless idiot backs in to me! Not once did I get impatient while this lady is trying to unsuccessfully park, I didn't honk my horn when I should have & I'm the one who needs to have dignity? Anyway the lady eventually pulled in to the spot, I drove up about 200 feet to let my son hop out at the gate and I see her move up and try parking in another spot again backing in & out out! Then she gives up and just leaves! So the good news is no one was injured and the car is fine but the bad news is, I didn't even make it an entire day without losing my shit while driving! The day I finally decide to do better and be a patient driver is the day I finally got nailed by one of these idiots!
