I Don't Like Mean People!
Why do people have to be so mean? I just returned from meeting my daughter for brunch. I am on spring break and she is a 3rd year university student so it was nice to be able to spend an hour together. The bakery where we met is in a busy outdoor shopping mall and the parking lot is a nightmare. One of those designed by someone with a migraine.
Well she had a little "fender bender" when she was backing out. A woman in a van came barreling out of nowhere at the same time that she was backing up and she couldn't stop in time. Don't get me wrong here. My daughter ran into her and she should have been more careful. But all people, especially young ones, do make mistakes. I have taught my kids to take responsibility for what they have done and am proud to see that they do regardless of the consequences.
This woman verbally abused my daughter over a small ding in her door that can probably be fixed with a toilet plunger. She yelled and screamed at her and when my daughter apologized she told her to shut up. She accused her of trying to leave the scene of an "accident" when she was just trying to pull back into the parking space so other cars could get through. She demanded her license and insurance and to call 911. I tried to calm her down and reason with her. I told her it was not an emergency situation and the police would not come out for a parking lot fender bender. I had to squint just to locate any damage on her 8 year old van.
The stupid woman called 911 anyway and the police told her just what I had. I'm glad I was there because I didn't allow this woman to abuse my child any further. She wanted her driver's license, name, and her school address. She already had all the information she needed from our proof of insurance and the license plate number and I told her that. I did not let my daughter give her anymore info.
She even played this stupid game with the exchange of insurance information. It was like a stupid duel. She held hers out and wouldn't let go until she had my daughter's in her other hand. How mature.
To add insult to injury she told my daughter to shut up and stay out of it while she kept sarcastically calling me Mame.
I followed my daughter to her apartment because I didn't trust this crazy woman to not come after her.
Now that I'm home, I googled this stranger just to see what I could find. Isn't the internet wonderful???? She's a women's coach at the university my daughter attends. As a woman in a position to teach and mentor young women, she should have known better. Just who the heck does she think she is?
