Truett and I finished 99% of our Christmas shopping today without any hassles. Why? Because we avoided the Oaks Mall in Gainesville. I think if I was more knowledgeable about independent shops and stores, I would forever shop at those places. Anyway, we did good. No road rage!
Road Rage! We have seen more of that this holiday season than ever before. For example, last weekend Truett and I went to the Oaks Mall in Gainesville. We drove around for 10-15 minutes before we were able to spot a parking place coming available. So we whipped down the aisle and put on our left blinker light waiting for a 97 Chevy to pull away.
Then a stupid white cheap car, pulled around in front of us on the left and sat there waiting for the same spot. Truett and I had a short conversation. "Are you going to let that car have the spot?" I asked. "Hell, no!" Truett answered. So we waited for a good 3-5 minutes until the 97 Chevy pulled out. Then...zip! Truett pulled in the only available spot.
Well, we got out of our 2008 Acadia and this stupid, cheap ass driver and his tattooed lady, wearing a cap backwards, began shouting, "DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU JUST DID? WHAT THE F--- DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DONG? BLAH! BLAH! BLAH!"
I can tell you right now that I was friggin' scared for my life. Well, the dude and the woman kept screaming profanities at Truett. My husband is so cool. He walked over to their stupid car and said politely, "I'm Sorry."
"YOU STUPID M.....F! DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU JUST DID? !@#@#$%@@$%!
Eventually, Truett walked away. Then it started again. #$%^&@#$*(%$!
Truett walked straight to his car and yanked out his cellphone. "Just how much trouble do you want?" Truett asked.
At that point the white cheap-ass car driver drove away; however, the whole time I was in Dillards, I had the feeling someone would be waiting for us when we left. I even expected my Acadia to be trashed or dented. Miraculously, nothing happened. Thank you, God.
So, back to today. We completed our Christmas shopping without any road rage or nasty drivers. Thank you, Lord.
Sounds like Christmas Magic! Hey, that was the title of your last blog.

People in parking lots can be idiots!
