Anyway, I decided to go get a couple groceries early this morning, I arrived around 6:30. Besides the sea of rvs, the rest of the lot was fairly empty. I turn right, stay in the right lane, and suddenly this car (from the left) is speeding right at me. This stupid woman was cutting through spaces and I saw that she wasn't even looking at me. I just stopped where I was and was ready to honk. I did have my hands up, in what I can only describe as Stephen Urkel's "Did I Do That?" Though my look was more "Whatcha Doing?"
What does this woman do when she sees me? She flips me off! I flip back and find a parking place. She parks in the handicap parking. She's staring at me as I'm walking towards the building and obviously her, since she is where she is. I would not have said anything had she not flipped me off, but she did so.....
Me: You Almost Hit Me.
Local Trash: Nooo I didn't.
Me: Yes, you did. You don't speed in parking lots. You almost hit me.
Local Trash: I have liability.
Me: I don't care. You were speeding, cutting through the lot and almost hit me head on.
Local Trash: Do you see any directional arrows telling me where to drive?
Me: Well, here in the United States, we drive on the right side of the road! It's common sense!
Local Trash: (random nonsense I couldn't quite make out)
Me: If I were YOU, I'd be upset too.
The entire time a man who was in the car with her is saying "calm down" over and over again. She also parked in the handicap space and I'm pretty darn sure she didn't have a pass hanging in her car. And if I had the state police's number in my phone I would have checked for certain and called if that were the case. So they are following me inside and I tell an employee that I had an issue with them and I don't know if there is going to be a situation.

| Not that kind of situation. |
I do this for one reason, they saw where I parked and my car stands out. This trashy family just might key my car or something and I want to make sure there are cameras in the lot. After talking to a couple employees I get directed to another employee, this one happens to be my neighbor. She is my neighbor but we don't have anything to do with one another. In fact, she has inspired many rants on Facebook. She was extremely nice and assured me that there are cameras in the lot. The cameras were also angled on both my car and theirs, being that they parked in a handicap spot and I was parked fairly close to the building. Perhaps my instincts were on since while talking to her the "calm down" guy came walking to the front of the store and kept looking at me. I wonder if I hadn't still been near the entrance if something would have happened to my car. I simply don't trust people, especially when they act like she was. Maybe he wasn't going to to anything, but in my book you are only as good as those you surround yourself with.
So besides not having any coffee in me, going through parking lot wars and dealing with (mostly) rude stockers, it was an awesome trip (sense the sarcasm). When is the best time to go shopping at Wal-Mart? When you have no other choice. I seriously can't deal with the craziness that is Wal-Mart anymore. Note to the stocking crew: It's rude when you pretend like you don't see customers trying to get to the shelves. We know that you see us there. And if one of us actually politely asks you to get through the aisle don't grumble, sigh and throw your boxes out of the way. Instead say "No problem, ma'am/sir. Have a great day!"
