Crazy Virginia Driving Person

So the other day leaving UNCG's Campus we were parked on Administration drive which is a one way street. Leaving you have to take a left onto College Avenue, which is also a one way street. As is typical when we park on Admin drive, I got in the left hand lane to make a left hand turn onto Spring Garden Street. Someone turned onto College going the wrong way on a one way street. As College Avenue has only been one way for about a year now it is not unusual for people to accidentally make a wrong turn, but either way the end result was that I had to swerve pretty hard to avoid hitting her. And as a result I ended up having to turn right instead of left onto Spring Garden Street. This was a bummer, but it didn't ruin my day as we ended up using the route change as an excuse to have dinner at Rock Ola. You'd think the story was over, but apparently it just began.

This morning Sara had training off campus so she was driving and she dropped me off on Admin drive. She turned left onto college avenue with the plan of turning right towards the location of her training. The SUV driver was laying in wait. She pulls out of metered parking suddenly and cuts Sara off forcing her to stop. She jumps out of her green SUV with Virginia plates and proceids to cuss Sara up one side and down the other. Apparently she knows all about me. She knows who I am, she knows where I work and as soon as she is finished giving Sara a piece of her mind, she is going to Mossman to have me fired. She thinks a. I tried to kill her, and b. I "have messed with the wrong b*tch" (her words apparently).
Ok.

1. If you are going to cuss someone up one side and down the other wouldn't you want to cuss the person who you feel has wronged you and not his frightened passenger?

2. If you feel you have been wronged wouldn't you want to go strait to the police and file a report.

3. Wouldn't you feel thankful that the guy in the little green car managed not to cream the front of your big green SUV when you turned the wrong way on a one way street?

It is for these reasons that I have decited that this woman is probably in need of professional counciling. However, this won't stop me from talking to the police if she continues to harass my wife. It is my hope that whatever has caused her to lose her rational mind sorts itself out so she doesn't go postal on some other random person.

Am I missing something here?

well - she didn't force her car in front of mine, she STEPPED in front of my car and made me stop (it was either stop or hit her). then she looked like something was wrong, and needed help. I made the mistake of thinking I could help her.

then she just went all apeshit. I just didn't do anything. I didn't even remember what in the heck she is talking about. She just kept railing on and on about how she had been wronged - then she pointed out that she had pulled in the wrong way on a one way street, and was sure that we had purposefully tried to hit her - WHEN SHE PULLED IN THE WRONG WAY ON A ONE WAY STREET. sigh... I just didn't say anything, I felt at that point all I would do is make her more irritated. I thought briefly of saying "I don't think he would have done this intentionally" but just thought better of it, because it seemed to me all she wanted to do was argue, and I just wanted to go to class.

Hey guys,

So sorry you had this crazy lady after you. People like that drive me, well, for lack of a better word, crazy. :) Why she feels like you were responsible for being head-on in front of her when you were driving the CORRECT way is beyond me.

To make you smile: My favorite quote from a student so far this semester - they've all gone insane now that it's the end of the semester, and all my former teachers are finally getting back at me for all the stupid stuff I pulled...

"Um, my computer broke and it ate my project...but I remember doing it, can I get a grade?"

Very...slowly...losing...my...sanity...

Wow. Had you known that was coming, Sara, I think the best choice would have been to hit her. You know, give her something to actually bitch about.

Sorry, Sara. I was having a really bad hair day.

Sorry, Sara, I was having a really really bad hair day.

Next time, Sara, roll down the window, smile and wave really big and say "Tell your mother I said hello!", then drive away. Perhaps over her foot.
