Oh my gosh. Today was a pretty crazy/bad day!
My kids are Hooligans which is pretty much to be expected considering who their parents are but AFTER a long day of negotiations with Jane and carting Sawyer around I finally made it out of the house to run my errands.
Before I could even leave I had to put air in one of our tires because it has a slow leak. While I was doing this Jake put a couple of bags of garbage on top of the car for me to throw out on my way out.
Well, I forgot about the garbage and pulled out into traffic, apparently, with garbage falling off of my car as I drove away. It's disgusting, I know and if I would have known about it I would have stopped right away and picked it up. No question!
So, this guy, who apparently saw me "throw" my garbage into the street follows me for about 2 miles and gets out of his car when I am stopped at a red light, bangs on my window and proceeds to yell at me about throwing my garbage out on the street.
I couldn't even speak. I was so scared when he banged on my window. I was minding my own business, listening to the radio and nearly peed in my pants when he pounded on the glass next to me.
It was no secret that I was scared and the guy yelled at me anyways! He waited until after I stopped freaking out before he yelled at me! Can you even believe it?!
So then, after I turned around to go pick up the garbage that some good Samaritan picked up for I went along on my errands and on the way home someone else yelled at me!
I was in the turn lane and had a green light so I started to turn. But there was a pedestrian crossing the road that was in my blind spot. Well, of course, as soon as I saw her I slammed on my breaks and said sorry. Do you know what that lady did? She stopped in the middle of the road, gave me a look like I'd infected her with the Bubonic Plague and yelled at me for almost hitting her! She didn't even have the walk signal for her to be in the crosswalk. If I would have hit her, she would have gotten a ticket. Not me!
Well, I was so stressed the whole rest of the drive home. I could hardly breath straight and think straight. It was crazy. I called Jake right away and told him that we will be leaving Gainesville as soon as we can. I don't want to live in a city with so many hateful people. Jake told me that it could just as easily have happened in Tallahassee or Orlando or Atlanta or anywhere. He is, of course, right but it hasn't happened in any of those other places...
I am like super stressed to the max today.
