Last night, I went to get gas at the station down the street. I don’t normally put gas in the car,someone else does, but I was going to last night. I pull in and up to the very last pump, the one closest to the building next door and the road. I turn off the car and set the brake and look for my credit card. I hear a honk. I look up and in my rear view mirror, I see Cruella Deville in a small blue car and she is angry. She has on what looks like an oversized mink coat and her hair is wild. Her face is skletal as are her hands. The mink, face and hair are the same shade of light brown. I could not tell if she baked herself that color, or if it was natural. She is gesturing wildly and honking.
I look, there is not enough room for her to drive around, but it doesn’t look like it was designed for a car to be able to drive around a car at the pump.I figure she can just wait because I need gas and I move to let her out without leaving the gas station entirely. I go back to looking for my card and the honking gets frantic and she revs the engine and as I look up I can see her moving closer. I then decide to move. Damn the gas, she is nuts.
I knew I should not have, but I flipped her off.
I then pulled out of the station. She grew even wilder and pulled out behind me still gesturing wildly. I stayed to the right, and because I wanted to lose her, I started fast and slowed quickly, watching for traffic in my mirror to make sure I would not surprise anyone else. She pulled out into the left lane, nearly hitting a car, and swung around me, turning in her car to watch me when I slowed down. She made gestures like she wanted me to pull over, mind you she was still honking and it looked like she was yelling. I slowed further and a school bus and large SUV pulled in front of me, obscuring me from her and I made a sharp right and lost her.
It was odd.
