Walgreens

Yesterday I went to Walgreens to pick up a few things for Leilani... Lotramin, Pedialite, etc. I had just walked in and was searching for the Lotramin when an older woman, maybe in her 50's or early 60's walked up to me with a note.

She asked if I had put it on her car.

I said no.

She then went on to say she wasn't accusing me of anything but if I did put it on her car I should just be honest.

I replied with a very stern "I didn't put anything on your car."

She started saying something more to me, but before I could register any of it mentally, a flash of white-hot fury came over my extremely sleep deprived and slightly sick being, and I unleashed a verbal assault of rage and stupidity. I can't remember exactly what I yelled but it was along the lines of, "I didn't leave anything on your f***ing car! I just walked in here! Can't you leave me alone? My daughter is sick and all I want to do is shop for her without being bothered!" I then stormed off.

I went and told some random employee that some lady was harassing me, which in hindsight was dumb because 1) it wasn't really THAT bad and 2) it only drew more attention. The manager offered to walk me to my car after I was done shopping but I declined since it was just an old ornery lady who had already left the store by this point. One of the employees came up to me and the manager as we were speaking and told us that the lady had showed her the note earlier and it said, "Don't park in a handicapped spot if you're not handicapped." Which is just childish and petty, and whoever wrote it probably left it on the lady's car on their way OUT of the Walgreens. Obviously.

And even though the whole thing really wasn't that bad, because I was completely out of my mind from being up all night with Leilani and being sick myself, I started crying in the car on the way home.
