You gotta love little old ladies.....

I was at the Kroger (grocery store) on a "senior discount day" putting my groceries in the truck. Two elderly ladies were leaving at the same time and backed into each other. I KNOW they felt it and it was enough to make dents in the rear bumpers but BOTH of these ladies drove off without stopping to investigate the damage.

It was the first day of the month. EBT cards were refilled at midnight. All the Walmartians were in the grocery store. My wife had to park her handicap van way out in the lot. It was raining. There was a blue Oldsmobile in the closest handicap slot. We live in a logging area. I went into the store and there on the customer service counter was a large microphone. I couldn't resist.

"Attention shoppers: There is a blue Oldsmobile in the handicap spot with no handicap plate or placard. Is it OK if it throw a chain around it and drag it around back to the swamp?"

The customer service lady came running out and said, "You can't do that!"

"Too late. I already did."

Just then a heavy set lady came running out and went out the front door to the Oldsmobile. I didn't wait to see if she came back into the store. I told the customer service lady it might be a good idea to check for an abandoned cart that could contain iced cream. I picked up my wife's prescription at the pharmacy and left.

Camry drivers...the scourge of the road.

And if Camrys actually do back up, they usually get left with the good old "Camry Dent" right in the corner of the bumper

Eh...if you can't brush something like this off w/o a city-data post i feel for ya. I'd have jut moved over, and gotten on with life. If they hit my car, i'd get out, get their insurance, and move on... if we wanted to adequately police one way traffic, they'd have a camera on every one way street to write infractions on every person who disobeyed the law...I have a co-worker who thinks it's his job to enforce traffic laws on public streets by yelling at other folks who he see's breaking the law...he needs a life.

live and let live.

Unfortunately, similar encounters are a near-daily occurrence around here. While city living has its benefits, maintaining an overall favorable opinion of humanity isn't one of them.

Live and let live fine.. but most drivers THIS bad do not. If you are so oblivious to all the one way signs and arrows painted n the ground you are most likely the same horrible driver running into cars AND pedestrians without realizing it as well. These drives should be off the road, and many of those, in jail for the excessive amount of personal and property damage they create.

Where I live this seems to be an hourly thing..... Heck you can go into a parking lot at one end and travel thru to the other end and see this type of thing 5 or 6 times....
