the friendliness of south florida I walked across the street to get a coffee and on my way back, I was walking through the parking lot and there was a car I was walking behind and it just started backing up at full speed … like, not slowly backing up, but AT FULL SPEED.. and curving to the right, where i was walking. I had to jump out of the way so she wouldn’t hit me.

I looked back and made a WTF face at her, like HELLO. as she pulled away she rolled her window down and flipped me off and told me to F&&& off. some guy was out there and was like, what is her problem?! I said, she almost hit me - and then she's yelling at ME. i've done stupid things on the road before, cutting people off without realizing it on the interstate because i forgot to check my blind spot, and i felt BAD. this lady? she yells at me. and flipping me off.

she was at the intersection when I was walking up towards my house and she was yelling again. I couldn’t hear what she was saying, but i just yelled back, exasperated, "you almost hit me!!!" and then she was laughing and then she goes " YOU FAT F&&&!"

i'm not that fat. :(

i know she's crazy, but it's hard to not come away from something like feeling really bad. i would've been fairly shell-shocked from nearly getting hit, without her insulting me on top of it. don't people know that that's like the WORST insult? you don't go there. (timely, though - i decided today would be the day i started eating better so i don't go into lack-of-sugar shock when i go to costa rica.)

anyway, florida is great, right? blah.
