Some years ago I was driving in the winter and it was snowing. I approached a red light and stopped behind a nice, new luxury sedan. A few moments later a young girl rear ends me hard enough to push my car into the sedan.
I get out to asses the damage and this well dressed middle aged woman gets out of the sedan and immediately starts laying into me. She was using language that would make a salty sailor proud. For about five minutes she's going at top volume. I catch bits and pieces like, "DO YOU FUCKING KNOW WHO I AM?" and "YOUR COCKSUCKING ASS WON'T HAVE A LICENSE WHEN I GET THROUGH WITH YOU!" etc. The whole time this poor young girl is quite literally cowering behind me.
The thing is I have always found stupid people amusing. The stupider they act the funnier it is to me. I think I did a heroic job not doubling over laughing at her but I'm only human, I couldn't help the shit eating grin that was getting bigger by the minute.
Lady (?): BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH AND WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU GRINNING ABOUT?
Me: (hey, she finally stopped for breath! I step aside and point at the young girl behind me) I think you want to talk to the young lady who rear ended me and pushed my car into yours?
Lady: (turns three shades of red, finally looks at her car) Well...uhm...there's no damage.
With that the lady gets in her car and drives away (without any apology about acting like a complete ass - what a shocker). My car is a tank with more dents than I can count so I tell the young girl it's her lucky day as I have no intention of filing paperwork and I drive off still very amused at the situation.
