After leaving a client lunch today and while I’m getting into my car a woman about 20 something sitting in a van next to my car says, “hey, do you race that thing?” I respond, “just for fun on occasion, nothing serious, why?” She then tells me she wants to street race me for money and names a few locations to choose from. Wow, wasn’t expecting that at all. (The locations she named are all absolute ghetto areas where there have been reports of people that have been knifed, shot, robbed etc so I’m already looking around for some shady person who might be with her even though we are currently in a “normal/safe” busy parking lot – call me paranoid.) I smiled and said, “in the van?” She responds with, “no” (chuckles) and says "my 68 mustang.” Then she continues to tell me it’s “slow with a stock motor.”I said cool but wasn’t really interested in continuing the conversation so I politely cut her off and said I wasn’t interested in “street racing” and specifically not at those locations and wished her luck.
Then it got interesting.
She gets out of her van and stands at my passenger door and asks me if I’m “chicken.” LMAO wtf?? In my head I’m thinking this is better than an after school special on abc. I again politely smiled and said, I’m simply not interested and wished her good luck again, got in my car and started it up. This crazy chick knocks on my passenger window rather hard…you’ve got to be fucking kidding me…I roll it down an inch and she says “you’re just a rich prick with no balls.” [For the record I am a pretty laid back guy and can handle the occasional crazy person without elevating my heart rate. I took exception, for some reason I let this chick get to me.] I turned off the car, got out and while I was doing so she jumped in her van and drove forward over the curb across the grass onto 347 which is a major highway!!
Not that she needs to know this but I was probably going to say something rude and let her know the conversation was over for good. BUT, I’m glad she thought I was some scumbag who would potentially get into a physical altercation with a female. Serves her right for being such a d-bag to someone she doesn’t know and has no reason to mess with. What a freak, I was so taken back by the whole situation as I was driving back to the office.
