Funny Thing Happened at the Mall Today

Today has been great day.  For lunch today we decided to go to Vicksburg where I ate entirely too much.  We left lunch and went to the mall.  We all went in the mall and I bought something and didn't want to carry all around the mall.  I went back to the car to stash it in the back of the car.  As I was walking away I clicked the auto-lock on the car twice and the car horn honked and the lights blinked.  I walked closer to the entrance and clicked the lock two more times.  The horn honked and the lights blinked and then I heard a long honk of another horn.  I  turned and clicked the clicker again.  Our horn honked and then the other horn honked.  I was really amusing myself at this point and decided to do it one more time.  When the horn on our Honda sounded a guy in a white Cadillac parked directly in front of our car bounded out of the driver side door of his car and stormed toward the driver side door of our car which no one was in.  With his finger pointed toward the window he started shouting.

His shouting stopped just as quickly as it started  when he discovered there was no one in the car.  He stood there seemingly dumbfounded for several moments, took the cap from his head and moved quickly back to his car while scanning the parking lot for onlookers.

I can only assume that he had been running all over town, fighting traffic and standing in lines. When he
thought someone was blowing their horn and blinking their lights at him for parking his car in front of their car, it was just more than he could take.  He retaliated several times with his horn and then decided to confront the rude driver of the other car.

I have to admit this non-encounter was funny and, I laughed out loud as I stood there at a safe distance while this all took place. But, now sitting here on my sofa I feel sort of guilty.  I hope I didn't make his day worse than it already was.  Maybe after he had a little time to think about it he chuckled, too.  I sure hope so.

Merry Christmas whoever you are in the white Cadillac. I hope your day got better and by now you are relaxing at home enjoying your family like I am.

Until next time...John.
