OP maybe you should get off your phone when you are driving. You sound equally unhinged as the woman you hit.

Why would you post this here? If she was upset over almost being hit by a car, why not be a good persona and go ask her if she was ok? Your reaction is more concerning than hers was. You need to go talk to a professional if you would shame her here like this as its very unkind.

Pedestrians have the right of way in a parking lot.

I could imagine this. The pumpkins are lined up along the curb of WF. Many are super-sized giant 🎃 pumpkins! Perhaps where the crazy mouthing off lady tried to enter the sidewalk, she would have had to high step, jump over the row of pumpkins.

But, Op, were you the one that almost hit this woman?

^This. You always are in a constant lookout for pedestrians in a parking lot.


Have some of you never seen idiot pedestrians before. OP didn't hit her. Probably because she was going super slow and paying attn, unlike this idiot woman.

I am so sick of idiots walking around with their nose buried in their phones and paying no attention.

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 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.

lol at the bolded. It's a parking lot not a 4-lane freeway.


They still need to watch what they are doing. Walking around looking at their phones, not checking left and right, just common sense stuff. Some of us are taught defensive driving, but people should also try defensive walking and cycling.

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

Right here - there's clearly a crosswalk.
