Welcome to DivaTribe

 

A diva accepts herself as she is right now and strives to be even better.
She doesn't change who she is to fit someone else's idea of what she ought to be.
She reaches for her own ideal sense of whom she wants to be.
She's strong; she's courageous; she's creative.

I was within inches of being completely run down by an impatient idiot today.

I had just put my cart in the cart return in the grocery store parking lot. A lady stopped to let someone back out, and the moron in the truck behind her started honking his horn & freaking out because he had to wait 5 seconds.

I had just walked behind his truck when I heard the clunk-clunk sound of him shifting gears to reverse & slamming on the gas. Thank God I heard that - I jumped backward - out of the way and landed into the cart return. I started screaming like a maniac, then he stopped his truck literally on top of the spot where I had been standing.

My Blood Pressure & Adrenaline went through the roof - I ran around to the front of his truck and started pounding on the hood screaming "You almost ran me over you Idiot!!"

He said "I didn't even see you - I'm sorry!" I said "Well you should God Damned look before you slam your foot on the gas pedal and kill someone trying to spare 5 seconds of your precious time!"

I could not stop shaking for like 30 minutes!

Ironically, it turns out that the woman who stopped to let someone out of a spot is someone I know from DS's Football team, who I had been speaking to as we walked out of the store.

So, tonight when I was dropping DS off, she came over and said she saw the whole thing and could not even believe it! She heard me screaming, and at first thought he may had actually hit me, so as he flew past the other cars - she wrote down his license plate #. Since we have a witness, and his plate #, and work on every officer in the areas cars, we may get him sent a warning!
