Don't mess with Grandma
This is a true story. An elderly Florida lady did her shopping and, upon returning to her car, found four males in the act of leaving with her vehicle. She dropped her shopping bags and drew her handgun, proceeding to scream at the top of her voice, "I have a gun, and I know how to use it! Get out of the car!" The four men didn't wait for a second invitation. They got out and ran like mad. The lady, somewhat shaken, then proceeded to load her shopping bags into the back of the car and got into driver's seat. She was so shaken that she could not get her key into the ignition. She tried and tried, and then it dawned on her why. A few minutes later, she found her own car parked four or five spaces farther down. She loaded her bags into the car and drove to the police station.. The sergeant to whom she told the story couldn't stop laughing. He pointed to the other end of the counter, where four pale men were reporting a car jacking by a mad, elderly woman described as white, less than five feet tall, glasses, curly white hair, and carrying a large handgun. No charges were filed. If you're going to have a Senior Moment, make it a memorable one! |
Once I'd parked my car beside a carryout to where I had to walk up past the rear of my car during my return trip to it.
On the way back to the car, I saw a rust spot I hadn't noticed before. I stopped and rubbed my thumb back and forth over it to see how bad it was. Satisfied that it wasn't too bad, I walked over and opened the driver's side door. Then, just as I was about to get in the car, I noticed that it had cloth seats. Mine has leather. (Old car; but nice seats.)
You ever try to nonchalantly close a car door? ;)
My car was parked one car up from that one.
Love that story!
I live in Florida and can definitely picture it happening here.
