[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Amusement park pp-are you talking about those old-fashioned cars at kings dominion that go about 5 mph? You way overreacted. [/quote]

It was 6 Flags, but I assume they're the same thing, unless the KD ones have better back support.  Have you ever been rammed by one?  It does hurt, although obviously it's not like you're going to end up an invalid or something.  It only turned into a big thing because this woman kept yelling at me about how there was no way to stop the car.  Clearly there is a way to stop the car, and her rabid insistence that there was no way to stop the car was really weird.  If there was an easy way to stop the car so that you would not ram into someone, wouldn't you want to know it?  Because she said there wasn't a way to stop the car, I told her that the car would stop if you pulled up on the brake.  She just kept yelling that there's no way to stop or slow down the car.  (She plainly thought it was funny to ram into our car, because she was laughing really loudly about it until I said "No bumping!"  She was so loud and belligerent that if it hadn't been 10:30 on a Sunday morning, I would have thought she was drunk.).  They do have bumper cars in another area of the park, so if you want to bump and be bumped, there is a venue for that.

If we really live in a world where you can't tell someone that they should follow posted rules and not run into you and your kid, then that's just depressing.  Can't people just respect each other?  Would it have been so hard for her to say "Whoops! Sorry!" (like her husband did)?  Or even "Oh, thanks for showing me! I didn't know how to stop it!"[/quote]
