NEVER again!! (I think I said this LAST year)
I should have known better than to try to shop two days before Christmas. Damn! Where in hell did all those people COME from. There it was….bumper to bumper traffic and THAT’s just trying to back out of my driveway. (just kidding) But I’m not joking about the mad traffic I encountered and got trapped in whenever I got anywhere near a mall or shopping center. You know, I think some sick S.O.B., with tons of money, is hiring these tens of thousands of people to get in their car during the holiday season and just drive around to tie up the streets and piss people off, like ME, for instance. I only saw one accident, though, which was pretty amazing. But what was even MORE amazing is how this lady managed to totally destroy her car (couldn’t even tell what kind it was) in a head-on collision, moving in bumper-to-bumper traffic. I’m not exactly sure how long it took me to get past the tail-gating, horn-honking, wrong-way going, middle finger-flipping, name-calling and pissed off other drivers on the street, but I made it to my destination, off the street, out of the parking lot and inside the mall. I’m NOT LEAVING!!!……at least not until waaaayyyyyyy past closing time. There’s a food court so I’ll have my choice of something to eat and the thermostat’s set to a comfortable level in here in case I have to find a spot to get comfortable.
I think I can make it to the sporting goods store for a good sleeping bag. Then, it’s off to Sears to find a comfortable pillow.
