Don't ask, don't tell... right? :D

I hardly consider blowing a kiss to be a sexual advance... if so, I think Mickey Mouse might owe all of us an apology for his lurid behavior in the last 4th of July parade.

Well, I'm a girl, so I probably wouldn't have thrown the groceries.

The effing bitch would have probably gotten an earful though.

However, I certainly would have thought long and hard about beaning her with a can of spaghetti-o's

No, dude, that was awesome! But if I were you, I would have thrown the groceries on the ground and then jumped on them a whole bunch of times!! Then I'd take her keys and key HER car with HER keys! God DAMN that'd be funny! Then I would have punched her right in the mouth!!! Ha ha, that would be sweet!!! Then I'd like stand over her and be like "don't mess with the paint job, BITCH!!!!" Then if she had kids I'd tell them that her mom deserved it because she's a BITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can we please reel in the "I would have . . . " stuff? We're starting to approach prosecutable actions here, and I pray that most of you would never actually do the stuff you're talking about. I don't like cell-phone-talking, SUV-driving, disrespecting-property-of-others people either, but come on. That was rude, and certainly deserved a comment, but throwing her groceries on the ground was not exactly 'paying it forward', you know? What goes around comes around, folks.

Peace

You were in no way out of line. I see so many people talking on the phone and driving and the same time. As a matter of fact I saw this girl a few days ago. In her right hand she had a cigarette and in her left hand her cell phone. AND SHE WAS DRIVINGundefinedundefined. I wanted to tell her look you may hit someone or cause a wreck.That's an accident waiting to happen.

In our society, there should be no room for drivers like that.

I think you did the right thing. Too bad you did'nt throw her other bag on the ground aswell.

Heck, I would have waited to see the reaction on the lady's face.

Damn man, there are so many loosers on the road.

He he. I saw results of a poll recently that stated (I may not have the exact numbers remembered right, but they're close) that about 46% of men have shaved while driving, and 17% of women have.

Maybe that was my girlfriend. Drives me crazy when she does that.

" that about 46% of men have shaved while driving, and 17% of women have." 17% seems awful low to me......

The other 83% are too busy with their eyeliner.

Oh yeah, that would be soo much effort to lean down and put the packages on the ground. Way better to abuse somebody elses property to save you some amount of effort. If she was having such a hard time, she could have used something called a "shopping cart", or god forbid she could get off the #(*%$ phone for a second.

I cannot count the number of times I've been tempted to do that. That's awsome to hear somebody else who actually has.

didn't read all 10 pages but my hat goes off to the original poster.

**** that bitch in the SUV that's too much of a ***** to get off the phone and handle her business properly. If it would have been me I would have taken the bags off my car and thrown them in the opposite direction as her and her car. She doenst give any respect, she does not get any.

It's my firm belief that a LARGE majority of problems in this country could be solved over night if people just learned what respect was.

I would have grabbed the bag and put it in my trunk and thanked her for the donation of free groceries for the local children's home (homeless shelter, etc). If she had a problem with that, then call the police and have them deliver the groceries there for you. :D

I would not have put it on someone else's car. In fact, I would never be in that situation, if my hands are full, I'd have my stuff in a shopping cart. If my hands are free, then I'd carry it with me.



His reaction was a bit overboard, but I wouldn't go out of my way to condemn his actions. I wouldn't have reacted the same, only because she might toss something at my car as I left.

It the idiots that don't think about what they do.

If she was that pressed to free up a hand to dig out her keys, why not PUT THE F'ING PHONE DOWN AND CALL THEM BACK LATER!!!

I actually would have just picked them up and said, "you might wanna be careful, some people can be pretty **** about their cars" and then handed her the groceries. Chances are that she would apologize, learn a lesson, and things would be better. Now, if she didn't respond in a manner I deemed appropriate, (i.e.started to get bitchy).. I'd walk to the front of her SUV and dump her groceries on the hood. That's right.....

I would have taken the bag and spun around in circles like in the hammer throw in the Olympics and then let it go throwing it as far away from my car as possible. Then I would have just calmly and quietly gotten in my car and drove away. If she said anything I would just act like she was making the whole thing up, look at her like she was crazy, and then very, very slowly get in the car and drive away.
