The Old White Ford
The Old White Ford (3/28/2006 5:07:02 PM)
Tonight on my way home from work. I found myself thinking about the '84 Ford F150 Pickup Truck my ex-husband and I used to own.
It wasn't a pretty truck by any means. But it had character and charisma.
It had no grill, both bumpers were bent at crazy angles, the drivers side window was busted out because of my ex slamming the door so hard every time the stupid thing wouldn't start. And when it rained, the driver got soaked.
It had captains’ seats in it from a Van. It had a Coke crate screwed into the floor as the console. And it had so many dings in it from him hitting things it wasn't even funny.
I will admit that one of those dings was mine. I rear-ended a lady, Yes, I know shocking that I could do such a thing but it happens. I did about $1000 worth of damage to her precious Caddie, but only a small ding on the bumper of our truck.
At one point it even had a dead rat in it... and man did that thing smell. But like I said it had character and everyone knew enough to get out of the way when they saw it coming up behind them.
- Hence the reason I was thinking about it today.
I was driving home on the usual route, when the truck in front of me decided he wanted in the right hand lane and just jumped over in front of this woman with no turn signal or anything. I guess this angered her because she decided to jump over in front of me... but neglected to look and see if there was enough room for her to get over.
Of course there wasn't so I slammed on my brakes and applied the horn, or did I slam on my horn and apply the brakes?
Any who, She gives me this little wave like she was thanking me for letting her in.
Well LADY I didn't have much choice did I?
I would have loved to have that truck to just tap her gently and let her know that what she did was VERY VERY stupid.
Road rage?
Yes I do get it from time to time but only with stupid people like that who think they can give me the little cutsie wave and it's going to make everything all better... NOT!
