Screaming woman at Falls Church Whole Foods parking lot

In VA, I believe that drivers must yield to pedestrians in crosswalks or when pedestrians are crossing the path of the vehicle, but pedestrians also have a responsibility to avoid suddenly stepping in front of moving vehicles where the driver may not have enough time to stop.

Drivers in parking lots have a responsibility to drive slowly enough that they always have time to stop.

No, she was well dressed with her own vehicle.

well you lost me here. are you so naive to think that a well dressed person with her own car cannot experience a mental health episode or have mental health problems? do you think well dressed people are immune to mental health crisis? hope you dont end up learning the hard way.

Now it is a mental health problem to get loud and angry when a car almost hits you? Team pumpkin pedestrian. Let's normalize freaking out when cars almost hit pedestrians when walkers have the right of way.

Did I try to calm down the unhinged woman yelling DB and other insults in front of children, the same lady climbing over pumpkins to get around families outside of Whole Foods? No, lol. I did not.

Why are you offended at the woman who was almost hit by an irresponsible, inattentive driver, rather than the DB driver?

(Don’t worry, we all know it’s because YOU’RE the DB driver in this story.)

Come on man When you’re in a Whole Foods parking lot, you have to act like toddlers are running everywhere.

Ahh, the Old Town Safeway, the Del Ray Aldi, The Arlandria MOMS, the CC Harris Teeter, the Backlick shopping center Safeway, the Metroplitan market in AQ in Seattle, the Alberstons in Ballard, the TJs in Springfield....

How do pedestrians walk to their cars once they’re out of the designated crosswalk? Is this like a floor is lava situation?

Do you mean “homeless?”

Please use plain language.

You need to keep up. Unhoused is now the politically correct term for a homeless person.

Why is unhoused better than homeless? I sincerely don’t get it.

This is OP: I have to admit at first I was really amused by her until she was making others feel unsafe. She looked truly unhinged climbing/walking over the pumpkins after screaming "DB".

Like you? With your driving?

Tell me more about the pumpkins, OP.

Right here - there's clearly a crosswalk.

I got to this Whole Foods several times a week. I've never bothered with that crosswalk. Nor have I seen anyone else do so. It's a parking lot.

Why are you so hung up on the pumpkins, OP? You sound like the weird one.

Have you ever seen a grown woman try to walk on top of pumpkins?

It sounds like trying to walk on asphalt nearly got her killed. Maybe I'd have felt safer on the pumpkins too.

+1

OP almost killed someone, and then feels the need to make fun of them for "climbing over pumpkins" to get the f away from her and her deadly car.

In a parking lot one should always "have enough time to stop." You shouldn't be backing out of a space at 30mph.

Haha! This is OP and this thread is taking the typical DCUM turn. Some of these responses here were not me. I was not the driver. I couldn’t have been the driver because I was admittedly the weirdo who followed the woman into the store and saw her asking if she could get footage of the cars license plate. (no idea what she was going to do with that). Honestly, I followed her because I was seeing if I needed to call the police myself because of her erratic behavior.

She was not hit. Yes the driver probably should’ve been paying more attention. But the woman couldn’t control her own behavior in front of children and by the way, the pumpkins are not on the street. They’re on the sidewalk so she looked like an animal climbing over them ha ha!

You sound like a complete jerk, OP. Get help

So your behavior is even worse than if you had been driving? Print all of this out and take it to a therapist and ask for help.

"I followed her because I was seeing if I needed to call the police myself because of her erratic behavior."
You are nuts! Stop pretending you are some crisis intervention helper. Get some help for your personality characteristics of authoritarianism, suspiciousness, and aggression.
