I always thought these stories were made up until this happened to me.
After what has been a horrible week of traffic I must have been visibly losing it in my car this morning. I was on a stretch of road where they are doing massive roadwork. They didn't remove a lane in this area but instead narrowed each lane by a few feet. Doing this on a stretch that goes around a corner. Guess where the accidents and back ups are everyday?
Anyway, this morning after being virtually stopped for 10 minutes it must have been obvious I was close to losing it. The woman in the car next to me must have noticed. I think she shouted to me numerous times before I woke from my angry cloud. I looked over at her and she said "It's OK" and smiled at me. She wasn't beautiful or anything, and admittedly I'm no Colin Hanks, but she had a smile that really lit up her Ford Fiesta.
Weird thing about smiles, when I was a teen and in my 20s a nice smile was way down on my list of things I noticed on a woman. Now its often near the top.
Anyway I smiled backed and mouthed a "thank you" and we continued to inch forward. Next time we stopped she yelled "hey" and when I looked over she lifted her shirt. She was wearing a bra but it was still a nice sight. I was distracted enough that it took me a second to react when some guy, presumably her partner in crime, opened my passenger side door and grabbed my wallet and phone off the passenger seat and ran off. By the time I turned to look back at her she had stopped allowing other cars to pull in front of her so I couldn't really do or say anything. The jokes on them though, I got to see her rack and they made off with my for show wallet (which I carry in case of mugging - containing 3 dollars and a Roy Rogers Buckaroo Club Membership card) and a burner cell phone. TGIF indeed!
