I ran up to Best Buy to get a new fan for my PC and on the way back I stopped at the grocery. Ralph's is having a sale on Coke, buy two 2 liters and get three free. With CRV that works out to roughly .93 per bottle. Considering it's been $1.50 a bottle for the last month, that's a bargain. They're still overcharging me by about .80, but we take our victories where we may. REGARDLESS!
At this particular store they're doing some construction, and the exit of the aisle I parked in was blocked. So I'm backing out when I hear a nasty crunch. I'd seen the car, but it looked like there was plenty of room. Turns out all I did was brush the bumper. The crunch was from a discarded soda can. Sheesh! I saw there was an elderly man in the car, so I figured I'd better check he was OK. He was, at least as far as the "wreck" was concerned, but his mind was absent. He got out and looked at the damage, but didn't see anything. I asked who he was waiting for and he said his daughter was in the store. We figured it might be a good idea for her to look at the car. She was, he said, due any minute now. I don't think he really understood. The security guard came out to check on us. I explained what had happened and he went to page the daughter. We stood there for a good forty minutes waiting for her. I think he'd given us the wrong name, or perhaps I'd misunderstood. She was grateful that I'd waited with him, and I told her it had seemed the right thing to do. Truth to tell I was tired of waiting for her and might have left if she'd taken much longer. I made sure they had my insurance and phone number and told them to call if they needed to.
And now I'm home, two hours later. What should have been a quick trip to the store took two hours. *sigh* Some days it just doesn't pay to get out of bed.
