I’m Older and Have More Insurance

After a day of craziness and helping Mini Me all day while she took care of some things,  I went to the elementary school to pick up Angel and do my final good deed for the day. Surrounded by soccer moms and a few other Nana’s I made my way down the long hall to Angel’s class.  I was then asked to go to the office and check in so that I would be allowed to retrieve her, which is crazy considering that I was the one that dropped her off that morning.  But I did it and Angel and I headed towards the car.  Before I could get out of the traffic circle at the school, a lady in a Tahoe rear ended me.  Calmly, I gathered my insurance proof,  DL and a pen and paper.  I got out of my car and went to look at the bumper.  This young mother of 3 began begging me not to contact her insurance.  When I say begging I mean BEGGING and PLEADING.  After analyzing the dent I asked for her insurance and DL so that I could write it down.  It had rained all day yesterday and I had gone through many puddles so I really couldn’t tell how much damage there was to my car but I thought I should get her info just in case.  She went sort of NUTS on me, she whipped out her cell phone and began taking pictures and said she couldn’t have caused that dent because she was going very slow.  She said I would have to follow her to her house to get her info.  I told her there was NO way I would do that so I called the officer over to ask him about it.  He said NO, I didn’t have to do that and told me to wait there while he pulled up his squad car.  While he was gone the lady went CRAZY yelling at me as if I had done something wrong, after all, SHE was the one that ran into me.  She gave me a sob story a mile long, she had cervical cancer, a sick baby, she was out of work, she was crying and ranting and raving.  I have never seen anything like it.  The very cute officer got back with his car, we rearranged our cars so that other moms could back out and she was still in my face begging, bitching and crying.  I told her in front of the officer that she needed to STOP TALKING because she was getting on my nerves!  I told her she was annoying and I told her I didn’t want to hear her sob story and that I just wanted her info so that I could get Angel home. 
There was no way I could take  anymore of her mouth and keep my cool so I got back in my car and shut the door and sat there while the officer filled out the info for us.  That didn’t stop her.  She came over to my car and started in again with the sob story, the crying, the begging.  She even accused me of pretending I was hurt so that I could sue the insurance and live off of the money.  It was SO awkward and I was forced to be rude (which I really hate to do to people).  It just goes against everything in my being to be rude to someone.  It was at that moment that I just almost lost it.  I grabbed my neck and began acting like it was hurting.  I told her to GET AWAY FROM ME!  So, she went over to the officer and started in on him.  Me and Angel sat in the car awhile longer and here she comes again.  I didn’t roll the window down this time because I was scared of what I might do in front of my sweet baby.  I just waved her away and luckily the officer was finished filling out the paper work by then.  He gave a copy to her and then headed over to me ROLLING his eyeballs as he walked away from her.  He told me what I needed to do, we poked fun at the situation and I thanked him for helping.  WOW is all I can say. 
She’s lucky I didn’t go all “Fried Green Tomatoes” on her.  What a day…
