I had an endoscopy scheduled at the TV hospital this morning at 9:30 AM. My wife had to drive me because they didn't want me driving home after the procedure. She drove me in her GEM car which is street legal. We were heading east on El Camino Real towards the hospital when a car got right on our tail and then laid on the horn. Just about scared my wife to death. Oh well, no big deal, the person must have been in a big hurry....
After the procedure they gave me a prescription. We dropped it off at Walgreens and were told that it would be an hour for pick up. Since I had to fast the night before I was famished so we went for a nice brunch at First Watch. We finished our lunch and it was not quite an hour so we figured we would go over to Lowe's and kill a little time and pick up some things for the garden.
So we waited almost two hours before going to pick up our prescription which was supposed to be picked up in an hour. We went to the drive thru pick-up lane and when we got to the window the pharmacist said it would be a few more minutes but that we should wait right there. So we did. We waited about five minutes (maybe a little longer).
After we paid and were getting ready to pull away the woman behind us laid on the horn and started yelling. My wife thought maybe our door was left open or the trunk was open. I said I would get out and see what was wrong. When I got out I couldn't find anything wrong with our vehicle so I looked at the woman who had honked and shrugged my shoulders. She honked again and yelled something I couln't understand. I walked towards her window to see what she wanted and she said "get in your golf cart and go on your way already." Apparently she was in a big hurry and was ticked off that the pharmacist took so long with our order (or she thought it was our fault because it took so long). I asked her why she had to be so rude? Why did she have to yell at us and lay on her horn? I told her it wasn't our fault. She gave me the finger. At this point I was ****ed. I had just had a procedure, I just wanted to pick up my medicine and go home. She said if I came any closer she would call 911. I said "go ahead and call 911 you rude b*tch." I think this kinda surprised her, and she said she would pray for me. I told her to pray for herself, because she wasn't being very Christian.
The rudeness continues...

OMG...that is awful. I have run into people like that as well. I think you showed great restraint in dealing with her. I don't know what the hurry is...she should have gone into the store if she was in such a hurry.
I don't understand the level of rudeness around here. We are all so lucky to be here in this community....I guess some people just fell like they are entitled. What goes around comes around.
On the other hand, there are the very kind folks. The crate I have my glass tools and supplies in flew out of my cart on a turn, right as I got into a tunnel. So there I am, right at the entrance of the tunnel where I was afraid the cart would not be seen and someone was going to hit me. I moved it up a bit and then went to unhook my walker to go get it when a gentle riding a bike stopped, got my cart, made sure I was ok and left. God bless him.,,he really saved me from what could have been a real bad time. Let's hope people like him are in the majority. I believe they are....
