I Am So Fed Up With SoCal

I guess I didn't go out much growing up in SoCal, before moving up north to Monterey and Honolulu. Ever since I moved back here almost 3 summers ago, I have seen so much ugliness in people all around. Just earlier today, just my luck, I came across another rude jackass on the road.

I was going to my niece's birthday party in Corona and was just getting off the freeway. There was another car in front of me but he merged to the left lane while I stayed on the right lane. Now, the left lane was a left turn only lane that puts you back on the freeway going the opposite direction while the right lane goes straight. I remember seeing the car and thought, he's probably lost.

We were both stopped at the red light and when the light changed I let go of the brakes and gently stepped on the accelerator. It was peaceful when all the sudden I heard the car horn go off. The guy was honking at me! I was like, what the hell? He sped up to the lane next to me so I rolled down my window and said to him, even though his window was rolled up, "You were in the wrong lane, Dumb Ass!"

(Note: from now on "he" and/or "the guy" will only be referred to as "Dumb Ass" and/or "Jackass".)

After the Dumb Ass passed me up I was looking towards the left for my destination since I've never been there before. When I finally looked straight all I saw was the Jackass' arm out the window, I can only imagine he must have flipped me off. Seriously?! The JACKASS was in the wrong and not only did I get a honk but I also got the bird? I was NOT happy.

The Jackass actually pulled into the parking lot of where I needed to go, and I saw him slow down and looked in his rear view mirror. I was like, I hope he's going to the same party so I can tell him off! Well, my husband was in the car with me so he said he didn't want to "scare the old man" (Jackass was an older man) by letting him think that we were following him, so we went separate directions looking for a parking spot.

Well, there were no spots so we had to go back the other way. The Jackass and his wife were out of the car and he stared us down as we drove past (I stared back at him too). The spot we parked at was actually right next to his car! I was nervous that he would do something to our car and suggested we park elsewhere, but my husband didn't think Jackass would do anything so we stayed put.

After lunch and the magic show we walked over to the pony rides area. As we were on our way there we saw the Jackass from a distance at a picnic table and also walked past our car. What was funny to us was that the Jackass had moved HIS car!

Anyway, I just had to vent. I am so sick and tired of all these stupid and rude people. It is so unfair, and I don't deserve being treated this way!
