The Only Thing Scarier Than Illness: Swearing
While coming out of the store, I have my mask on, and so do many of the others in the parking lot. I start hearing a commotion and see a big truck driving up and down the lanes. The driver is laying on his horn, revving his engine, and yelling at people.
Man: “OOOOH, SCARY CORONA! OOOOOHHHH, SCARY CORONA!”
I’m more startled and bewildered than anything else. He pulls up behind my car as I’m putting my groceries in the trunk.
Man: “OOOOHHH, SCARY CORONA! YOU SCARED? YOU SCARED? WAKE UP, LADY!”
I give him a dirty look and yell back.
Me: “What the f*** is the matter with you?! Seek help.”
Surprisingly, he looks shocked and then angry, and he snidely says:
Man: “Wow, nice. Real nice, real polite, real ladylike!”
And he peeled out.
Apparently, it’s okay to make a nuisance of yourself and harass other people, but heaven forbid a woman drops a four-letter word on you when you make an a** of yourself. I will never understand people.
