Oh, it's gonna be the eternal stare off. Who is it going to start stocking first? It was me. We should like to like a if I blink first.

That I get to start talking first. Hello everyone. Welcome to episode 304 of the Brain Candy Podcast. I am Susie Meister here with you today and also here with me is Sarah as per usual. Yeah, as per usual. I said that in a while. I know why not. I don't know. What's up with that? Maybe like nothing nothing usual is happening or like. Right. It's been very unusual. Yeah. Oh my God. Right? Okay.

Let's see. What do we have to start with? Anybody mad at us? Let me think. Hmm. Don't think so. Oh my gosh. Actually, there was somebody mad at me the other day. What happened? Oh my God. So there are good things and bad things about wonderful new restaurants opening up right next to the little. There's this place called the circle that's right by my school. And so we're like little it's like a little downtown orange shopping center. But there used to be just like

Aunt May restaurants, but they've recently opened up a few really fantastic ones and lunchtime traffic is absolutely insane fighting for a parking spot. It feels like Christmas. You know, Christmas shopping. The mall every single day from like noon to three. So I'm like searching and hunting for this parking spot. And right. It's like a tree in the middle of the the center. And then there's a big.

Round like, you know, you can drive around the tree. And so it's like round in their parking spots all around it. And I freaking go to wait for this parking spot. Oh my gosh. This man like in order to get this parking spot. I may be just a little bit had to block traffic that was turning. But I left enough room for them to go through this guy. I thought he was going to jump out of the car with a crowbar or something. What? I've never been yelled at like that in my whole life. And like everybody else could figure it out. This guy was like, you can't do it.

That you can't park there. And the worst is like I couldn't even hear him, but I could just read his lips. I'm like melting out. What would you like me to do, sir? What would you like me to do? And I was and the worst part about it.

And I was like, I'm not going to be a part of this. It was right in front of this brand new restaurant that I wanted to go to that has tons of outdoor dining right in front. And everybody who was dining in front was watching this.

And this was like the front row parking spot. So I was like getting the best parking spot to go right to the restaurant right there. But now I can't go because now I'm the chick who just got yelled at in the middle of and I was like too embarrassed. So I had to go to a crappy place down the street.

There's been a forever that isn't good because that's why they put the new ones in up. So that's my story. That was a long rant. It's crazy to me whenever anyone's mad at you because you're so nice and I didn't even yell or there was no finger exchange.

Like middle or other. I get it. That is awful. Yeah. I was so embarrassed. It was it brought me back to like, you know, he was like a guy in his maybe late 40s, early 50s, just so angry. And I was like, you know, it's crazy is.

I mean, this was several years ago, but there was an incident where some guy pulled out in front of me and I honked and he was super mad that I honked at his action.

And so he turned around and passed me up. He went on the wrong side of the road past me and then made his vehicle go across like perpendicular. No, no, like to the movies.

I had to block like fast and fucking furious. And he like blocked both lanes and I'm standing there in the car staring at him. And of course I gave him the finger, which was not a good thing to do. And then he did get a crowbar out of the car.

Oh my gosh. I'm having what are you saying? Actually, I think it was a bat or something. Oh, like that's a better.

I think it was either crowbar or bat. And he starts coming towards my car and looking back, I wish I had run him over.

Because you would have been so it would have been self defense. I wonder because I feel like it was a car.

Miss matched like he just had this thing that he could hit the car with. But I know I just went around him and drove off.

Well, thank God. Right. But I mean, if I hadn't well, I mean, if the option is run him over or drive around him, I mean definitely take drive around and do avoid jail time.

I guess so. But like now I feel mad because he got away with it. Yeah. But fuck that. It was super scary. Sorry, Linda.

I haven't been apologizing to Linda lately, even though I've been swearing a lot. Maybe I'm feeling rebellious.

It's kind of like, you know, like a sneeze. You know, when somebody sneezes like seven times in a row, I'm not for you saying, bless you every time.

You get like two of those. And then after that, you're on your own. I also don't do that. I don't say, good, bless you.
