Yes I'm sure I was not in her way.

Yesterday driving with 3 kids in the backseat a car with Florida plates went to move over onto another car. The other car honked. Florida then proceeded to swerve aggressively and chuck full soda cups out the window at the other car. The other car honked and swerved back while pointing and screaming. When traffic stopped at a light, they had a scream fest until traffic moved again.

And I was the petrified driver stuck behind them. Fun times!

I have fl plates and was in dc yesterday. I had to stop and think "was that me?". Thankfully it was not.

16:55 I totally love that you had to stop and think about whether this was you. "Chuck full soda cups out the window" wasn't a clue? Completely hilarious. I thought we left that phrase behind in my 70s childhood when you'd see a Smokey the Bear sign telling you not to light the wilderness on fire with your lit cigarette as 100 station wagons drove by hucking their Mickey D's bags out the window.

This. FL driver could be brought up on charges of throwing a missile object at a moving vehicle or something like that. Very, very serious. Some crazy woman was looking at jail time for throwing a soda cup with soda at another car while driving.

Yes, I'm sure her glaring daggers into my windshield with arms crossed was actually going to turn into a "HAPPY SUNDAY!" when I got out.

Her body language was not what I would call apologetic.

Yes, I'm sure. After we'd parked she was still standing and waiting. She only turned around (shaking her head) when my husband got out of the car.

Anyway, the point of this story isn't that I had a horrible thing happen to me more than it is that people shouldn't be cruising for a confrontation with a perfect stranger over something completely and utterly insignificant.

See there was more to the story, aggressive body language. In your original post you only referenced your perception that she was infuriated so maybe your assumption was correct. A really irate person who wanted to tell you off would probably not be intimidated by a husband though. Doubtful she really wanted to brawl, but maybe you'll get your answer if she responds. At any rate, that lot is awful, once I realized I could park at Whole Foods with validation and walk across the street I never tried to park there again.

What would your husband have done to the woman? Was he planning to hit her? Otherwise, what does his size have to do with it?

Sighhhhhhhhhh. It isn't that hard to comprehend that a woman might be willing to yell at or confront a 5'4 20-something year old chick but might rethink that upon seeing a tall manly man ( ) exit the vehicle.

I get that I didn't write in the original post that she was staring daggers at my car with her arms crossed waiting for me to get out, but please read through the thread before posting kthx.

NP here. His size has *nothing* to do with it. I am 5'6" and a black belt. Woman try to start sh*t with me all the time. I must not look the part. I could kill them. Literally. Some people just are not that smart about picking their battles. I see it at the movies, in parking lots, on just about every street. Do people just have short fuses around here? Lack of basic coping mechanisms? Why would they think they are bada**es when the next person might have the capability of killing them with their bare hands? Are they stupid?

Sounds like you wanted to brawl in the parking lot. What a dumb story.
