Erev Thanksgiving

My mother asked me if I could go to the store to get her a few things, and being the wonderful daughter that I am, I happily drove to the store. On erev Thanksgiving!

On the way home, the usual 7 minute drive that it normally takes, took 45 minutes! But I didn’t get annoyed at all because there was a verrrrry interesting person behind me. This olderish lady was behind me in her Volvo. Every few minutes she would start shouting and making lots of hand motions. The lane next to us was closed off ahead of us, so people were trying to switch into our lane. She wouldn’t let anyone switch over in front of her, and when she saw anyone in front of her let someone in, she would start yelling and throwing up her hands. After a little bit, she started driving in between the 2 lanes so no one could pass her. When the light turned green, but we still couldn’t go because traffic was all backed up, she started honking! (Where I live, the only reason you honk is if someone is about to hit you.) She would randomly bang her head down on the steering wheel, and kept looking around very nervously and kept trying to see up ahead to see what was going on. This lady was insane, but she kept me entertained!

Great story! I think there should be a sanity test to get a drivers license,

This story couldn't have taken place in Brooklyn.
In Brooklyn you're honked at for just about anything imaginable.
Including if walk too slow when you cross the street.

lol! hilarious!
Which store did you have to go to (7 min away) D's down by DSW or TJ's?
I ran into our grocery store to return a RedBox, luckily M was in the car so he just pulled up to the entrance - every parking spot was full in the giant parking lot (half of which is NEVER used) and they had cops inside too, weird!
