Parked in the handicapped parking space. Two able-bodied people got out, looked like dad and adolescent son. Dad was laughing and tossing his well-coiffed head, slapping kid on the back, as they went to thee Redbox. I managed to calm my heart rate, park far away from them, and head to the Redbox where I intended to return a DVD. Standing behind them, I said, "Excuse me, but that was reckless driving; you almost slammed into my car." Guy turns around, flashes a million-dollar smile, and says, "Lady,I don't want to talk to you." Well. Swords were drawn. "Good. Just listen. Your driving was irresponsible, you could have hurt people, and it is a poor example to set for your son." "Lady (why did he keep calling me that? I got the sense it was shorthand for 'b***h). I don't want to talk." "Maybe I should just take your license plate number and let the police say the same thing to you." I'm not saying I was arguing great - I am saying that he was not able, willing, or aware of the value of addressing the issue. Maybe he had a good reason for his driving that was not apparent to almost-victims of it. It's not like I was threatening him. He just refused to hear and wanted me to be invisible. The same way he treats other cars.
