Death by Co-Worker, almost

Once again it's been a very busy week...weekend...more of the week. I have stories to tell about fireworks, a Death Star pinata, and expired driver's licenses. But, right now I have time for one story.

On Monday, I drove over to the Subway that is housed in hell, also known as Super Wal-Mart, to get lunch. The road I take back to work has a moderately tight turn and it's in an industrial area so any moron knows to take it at no more than about 35 because you never know when a semi might be turning onto the road just a bit in front of you.

I went around the curve and saw a semi, with it's right signal flashing, on the street next to our parking lot. I peaked in my rear view mirror and saw no one behind me and was saying a quick prayer that the semi driver would wait till I was past before he started to turn. He did wait for me and as soon as I got by that street, I hit my signal and slowed down. While waiting for traffic to go by so I could make my left hand turn, I looked in my mirror again and saw the semi making it's turn.

Next thing I know, out of flippin' no where, this pick up truck comes flying past me on the right hand side. They were in the grass shoulder and I swear they were doing at least 45 to 50, if not more. While uttering a few choice words, I notice the driver is a female with their brunette hair in a pony tail and wearing a blue t-shirt. Once the shock of the moment passes, it hits me. It was freakin' DISNEY driving the truck!!!!!!

Now, we in the office are somewhat familiar with her lead foot and crappy driving skills, but none of us had experienced it yet. Thankfully, she didn't hit my car or crash into anyone in front of me. I go inside and utter that I was 90% sure that she had virtually side swiped me.

She came back a few minutes later, McDonald's in hand, and I asked her if she had been the one almost clipping me earlier. She goes all drama queen and declares that it was the semi drivers fault. She claimed the semi "came out of no where" and because it was having to make a wide right hand turn, she had to swerve to avoid hitting it and when she got around the truck, she suddenly saw me and had to go on the grass to avoid hitting me.

I really wanted to correct her and her version of events, but it seemed pointless at the time. I wanted to shout, "NO NO NO!! Liar, liar! You suck!" Instead, I will bitch here and just keep my eyes peeled for the crazy, shitty driver. Argh.
