I went to one of the local malls today, to run some errands, and to treat myself to lunch at a brewpub there.

While strolling through the parking lot towards the mall, a black Mercedes SUV starts pulling out right in front of me. I stop in my tracks, and look towards the driver, expecting him to perhaps check his mirrors and see me. Nope, he's chatting on his cell phone as his vehicle continues to roll. So as it rolls in front of me, I tap his window. He looks at me, still on the phone, then keeps moving. I walk on. As he passes me, he says through his now open window, "do I know you?"

"No, but you almost hit me as you were pulling out."

"Well, you should watch where you're walking!"

(I had to get in the last word.....)
And you should hang up your cell phone when you drive!


The beer was nice and cold in the brew pub.
