we got a LOT of snow.
I was at my folk's for my dad's b-day party. Got about a mile from home and hoped to coast through the stop sign (momentum had to be kept up!)
But there was traffic. So I stopped. stopping = stuck.
I rocked back and forth and tried everything...eventually my left tire ended up on the left shoulder and I was mostly perpendicular to the road--figured at that point I needed help so I didn't end up in the ditch. I put on the hazards and called the Mr.
(And...this is what bothered me)
I'm stopped, sitting there, convincing Buffythat the world won't end (bedtime--grumpy baby because she's not being fed and in bed). I get her mostly quiet and a van stops on the more main road. Looks like they're trying to offer help. I get out to say 'thanks but I'm OK' because 1-Helps on the way, no need for more people to get cold and stuck 2-Not everyone is 'helpful'--I've only ever run into good situations like this but sometimes well-intentioned people can get you MORE stuck if they don't know what they're doing and 3-I was worried they'd cause a traffic hazard on that road--it's busy.
So I open my door and step out.
A youngish male voice says "you stuck?"
I shout back "yup. But my husband is just down the street. He's coming to get me. Than--"
He cut me off "F*you. F*youyou. I hope you stay stuck there forever you dumb B****. I was GOING to help you but not now. F**you and F** Your husband."
I just stared into the headlights mutely (couldn't see anything--headlights) and didn't say anything and he (very slowly--almost getting stuck) drove off.
I got back into the front seat of the car and locked the doors (which woke up Buffy so she screamed for the next 15 minutes until the Mr. got there and we got us we got home. ANd I called my folks and kept htem on the line, just in case.)
WTF man?
Yeah, I regret turning donw his help
It was one of those 'awww, how nice! Humanity DOEASN"T suck, there are nice people, thank yo...hey, why am I being cussed out?" moments.
