Today's Stupid Person Induced Rage
I get into my car this afternoon to run a few errands and I notice my display is reading "Low Tire Pressure", so I pull into the gas station. I am on the phone with my H when I pull in, checking to see what he put the air at last time he filled it (sidenote: he tells me 32 PSI. I read my tire and it says fill to 44 PSI. No wonder my tires were so low--this part irritated me). So now I'm crouched down, all 8 months pregnant, looking like I'm going to pop the kid out on the asphalt, trying to fill this tire. The air hose is weird and retractable, but doesn't stay once you pull it, so after I finish the first tire, I have to let it go back into the machine to be able to pull it further to my back tire. Immediately, some nasty old man SWOOPS in, grabs the hose and starts filling his bicycle tires.
Now, for a description. He had white hair, transition lenses from the 70's and was wearing a dirty white "Ride or Die" Harley shirt, which I found comical because he was on a 10 speed bicycle. He also was wearing shorts and sandals and had a LARGE "Mom" tattoo in a heart on his calf.
Moving on: I was initially a little shocked, but I see another hose, so I go to grab it and he says "Oh, that's only water" and continues on his merry way. Now I'm piissed. I tell him "Sir, I was not done with that" and he looked at me and said "You were on the phone" (phone call was done at that point) and I replied/shouted "Not that it's any of your damnn business, but I was checking to see how I was supposed to fill this tire." There also may have been expletives thrown in at this point as well as a "Rude asss old man" and "Ride or Die my asss". Jerk then continues to fill his bicycle tires while I think about various ways to knock him over once he takes off. The End.

I was totally focused on the shorts, sandals, and bike part too.
I figured that would come up as I was typing it. BUT, as discussed before (Coley is a bad driver and mean to old people) the "bonus" of having the warm weather is that it brings all the crazy old people down here for a few months.

Yes, I will not complain about the weather lately. This is the kind of winter I approve of. It's gorgeous today.
I would be tempted to throw something at that guy. Something sharp and heavy.
The nerve!
