Champagne Message

Adel and I had just finished up some shopping and were ready to exit the parking lot. It was about 7:45, dark and very busy, with cars rolling at Mach 4 down the access road (I think there was a time challenge going on). Two girls had been strolling down the sidewalk and after a pause strode behind the car in front of us so it could pull on out if it needed to.

 We rolled on up to the stop sign and Adel looked both ways. She saw some cars zooming up on us from the left, she glanced right, there was nothing coming as it was a one way street so she focused back to her left. I saw movement out of the corner of my eye to the right and there, appearing out of nowhere, was a woman wearing booty shorts and a tank top, (it was about 64 degrees)  headphones on, eyes focused on her phone not on the path ahead of her. She kept coming toward us, and still had not looked up. I was not worried as there were cars approaching on the left so I knew we would not move if jog woman failed to stop or move behind us. Then the cars from the left slowed, blinkers on and were going to turn into the parking lot we were exiting. I felt Adel release the pressure on her brakes as the oncoming car turned, and jog woman who still was looking at her phone moved in front of us as though she were entitled to treat others as being inferior, as though dressing skimpy and running allowed her free access to move however she wanted because they all always stopped to let her pass so they could stare at her skinny legs and lack of ass. It was obvious she was used to being waited on and felt in control of the world and powerful. The oncoming car had seen her and stopped just a few feet away, I said “Ade, stop! Do not go!” She hit the brakes as she turned her head catching the jog woman, head down still looking at her phone. But it was too late. Adel bumped into her. The startled woman looked up as she was pushed, clearly shocked (Uhh…. Pay attention mouth breathing, hunger deprived, female creature!) She recovered, kept jogging until she was about 10 paces away, and then she turned and yelled at us. But we were screaming at her and driving on!  A few moments later we saw ambulances rushing in the direction we had just come. I wonder if someone else had actually hit her.


That was not the end of our adventure though. We decide to grab some soup and salad at a local restaurant. We pull into this parking lot and as we drive through looking for a spot we encounter another female creature encased in a Cadillac sitting in the middle of the road blocking going in or out. We sat a few moments and waited but she failed to move. We turned into the parking area she was blocking and she still failed to move. We decide to go for it and complete our turn coming within inches of her door where we pause and both glare at her. She stares straight ahead and does not look over at us. We burst out laughing because we just cannot believe the night we are having. 


As I get up to leave the restaurant I catch a man staring at me, like a leopard sizing up a gazelle.


 (oh goody! I think. Play time!!) I smile at him and he saunters over with what he believes is a cool amount of swagger. As he gets up close, he smiles and starts to speak. I smile again and say good night. He stumbles to a halt and mumbles “huh…uh…ummm I was going to…..” Really dude!!?? Sending over a couple glasses of champagne would have been a better and less awkward and humiliating experience for you. It would have sent a couple of messages and conveyed information about you that may have peaked my curiosity or not.


I will say the journey was blessedly uneventful.

Cheers
