My fiancee and I were out and about in town tonight when we were suddenly and unexpectedly confronted by an asshole (to say the least). After the brief run in with this "less than pleasant" individual, we were left completely baffled by his behavior.  The situation unfolded as follows:
Our trip to town consisted of a visit to the local Wal-Mart. We were searching for a laptop they currently have for sale, but that particular store was sold out already. We decided to call Directory Assistance to ask for the numbers of the different Wal-Marts in surrounding towns, allowing us the opportunity to call ahead of time to see if they had the laptop in stock before we wasted the gas on a useless trip to each one that didn't have it. Since we were driving down the road, we thought it would be safer and wiser to pull over in a vacant parking lot to make our calls.
We had been sitting there for no more than 5 minutes (each of us on hold with a different Wal-Mart), when all of a sudden we noticed a car approaching us from the entrance of the parking lot. The man in the driver seat was saying something and gesturing with his hands. We had no clue what he was saying (since our windows were still up), so my fiancee rolled his window down in order to see if the man needed help. What came next floored us both.
The man in the car proceeded to talk, and this is what he said: "I've been across the street (at an Arbys) trying to eat for the past 30 minutes, and I couldn't even enjoy my food because your headlights were blinding me. I don't really appreciate it, so turn the damn things off." What the fuck??? Wait just a damn minute here!! How the fuck so? We were sitting in a vacant parking lot (for no more than 5 minutes... how the hell did he come up with "30" minutes?), with 3 empty rows between us and the main road, and from that point, there was a 4 lane road (not including the turning lane) between the parking lot we were in and the parking lot of the Arbys in question (which was located on a hill compared to where we were sitting). There's no way in hell that our headlights were disturbing him. He was simply looking for trouble.
After he said a few choice words, including "fuck you," he pulled away and darted out of the parking lot. Ok, again I say, "What the fuck?" We were done with our phone calls, so we proceeded on our way. It just so happens that we were going in the same direction as "Mr. Pleasant." We were ready to put the experience behind us, but we soon noticed that the same guy had slowed down in the right hand lane, as if he was waiting for us to catch up to him. We had no interest in doing so, so we moved over in the turning lane to make a left turn to get to where we were going. This didn't stop him from showing his ass one more good time. His window was still down, so he chose to cuss us quite loudly as we were attempting our turn. We simply shook our heads at his obvious show of stupidity.
His little temper tantrum made absolutely no sense whatsoever. I don't feel that we did anything wrong, so what gave him the right to pull his shit? Who died and made him "Headlight God?" Oh well, I gave up on trying to understand people a long time ago. It isn't worth the time and energy it takes to attempt to figure them out, especially the ones who choose to act like it's their world and everyone else just exists in it. *Sigh*
I thank you for reading my rant. May you all have a wonderful night.
