Sad to say but eventually someone will hit her b/c she is just not using her head and being safe. I defin would have yelled back asking where her helmet was and advised she is setting a bad example for children in the neighborhood. Oh...and STOP RIDING ON THE SIDEWALK! :-) I would have been very irritated. Sad to say but eventually someone will hit her b/c she is just not using her head and being safe.

It *did* make me cry. I was a blubbering mess a few minutes later drying home. I've never had anyone talk to me like that. Ever. Sorry you had a similar run-in with an entitled person!

Some mean old man yelled at me at Kroger on Saturday! Like SCREAMED. After I apologized for bumping his leg with a car shopping cart (those huge ones that are impossible to maneuver). He just kept screaming and yelling obscenities at me--in FRONT OF MY KID. I finally, like you, realized I wasn't going to get anywhere, and high-tailed it to the parking lot. Some nice people were like "Sir! It's hard to move those carts. She apologized." as I ran to from the store. But he was still being a GIANT JERK and screaming after me. I wasn't sure what he wanted... I apologized. I was sincere. Did he want me to pay him money for grazing his leg? The worst part was it was in front of my kid. Owen said he "really didn't like that mean old guy." People!! OMG. Some mean old man yelled at me at Kroger on Saturday! Like SCREAMED.

Stupid people only take up space and waste oxygen for the rest of us, SO...you're welcome!!" Wow, no dirty words!! That's an accomplishment for a former truck driver!! :) T.

And, of course, he yelled at me. As if it's my fault I didn't look for traffic coming the wrong way down the street. *eyeroll* I almost hit a cyclist one day- because they were riding THE WRONG WAY DOWN A ONE WAY STREET- on the sidewalk too I think.

Mine's about the "bird" and bad drivers. As to bicyclists, the sidewalks a no no in Georgia too. Being wrong and pretending to be right is an art form, a mental illness, and just plain tacky. She's obviously fallen once or twice without the helmet! UP Too funny, our posts are very similar today. Mine’s about the “bird” and bad drivers.

Even if this had been your fault, I don't think you were trying to hit her! (Unless your a sociopath, which in this family...) Why can't people just show a little courtesy to each other? She was probably just embarrassed and covering for her own dumbassitude! But then, I live in NC where honking your horn period is considered very impolite. I never understand this!

It makes me a neurotic, nervous wreck because I am terrified one will come darting behind my car. Lady should have been on the street. Love it when people in the wrong get all indignant.
