Ugh. Was driving home from the grocery store down back roads, and about twenty yards from the crosswalk, a runner decides to cut across the road right in front of me. I stop in more than enough time, and mouth "use the f-ing crosswalk!" at him. He then walks back to my car. I said something along the lines of "I'm sorry, but you scared me." He then cusses me out and accuses me of speeding (if I was, I wasn't aware of it). I deny it, and then he says something like 'he could stay there all day to argue the point. Clearly, he's in no mood to de-escalate, so I yell at him one last time to use the crosswalk and drive off while he's still yelling at me to get back there.
What a putz. I hate that I'm still so shaky about things hours after the fact.
{{{Anne}}}
I have a kidney infection.
My third this year, I think. I am so worn out.
You probably scared him, too, Anne. But that's no excuse for being a butthead. I'm sorry it upset you so.
Get the good drugs, sj. Kidney infections can be miserable.
So painful, Beverly. But hopefully the drugs will help.
sj, that sounds miserable. I'm sorry you're dealing with this.
that's no excuse for being a butthead
No it wasn't, especially as I stopped a good way back and he had to backtrack to yell at me. The good news is, I've calmed down by now, but yikes.
Oh dear, take care of yourself sj, I'm glad you are getting it treated. And Steph, yeah for getting treated, and for a doc kind enough to not want to default to the colonoscopy if it isn't needed.
My third this year, I think. I am so worn out.
Oh no, sj. What a misery.
It doesn't compare to a full on kidney infection, but I'm in the middle of my third uti in as many months.
Blergh. So tedious and painful.
I also hate to be taking endless antibiotics. I've got to turn this health boat around.
sj and beekaytee, I'm concerned about your repeated infections. I hope you both can get yourselves built back up to strength so you don't keep having them. In the meantime, thank goodness for antibiotics.
