The New "What did you do with your Z today" (with off topic replies) XIV

I took it back to the cart return, and when I came back to the Z and approached the door, the same lady who had just backed out pulled up and lowered her window. She was obviously the culprit, because she said in a very disgusted tone, "You think my car isn't new?!? All these scratches are people who do that, too." What a childish attitude. Several thoughts quickly coursed through my brain. Of course, I didn't say the one I should have: "That doesn't give you the right to disrespect other people's property, too." The next thought was, "I'm sorry. Your crappy maroon Scion is so filthy, I can't even see the scratches of which you speak." But I couldn't stop staring at her wheels, specifically the driver side front wheel. It was quite a sight. A circular rainbow a solid 3 inches wide about 3 inches inside the edge of the wheel. A myriad of colors, with red playing the lead role, likely from parking in the fire lane. A smorgasbord of cuts, scrapes, scratches, gouges, and dents splattering the face of the wheel as evidence of many a parking lot battle past, mostly lost. I got a little over halfway through my insult before she hit the gas and drove away. Her window was still down, so I just got louder as I finished it off. "Just like all the damage on your wheels from all those curbs?" Several people in the parking lot gave a look. I shrugged and noticed a smile from a guy across the aisle who had stood there watching the whole thing. It was also funny that I managed to exit the parking lot before her. I have no idea what route she took through the parking lot, but I ended up in front of her at the light somehow.

TL;DR: fvcking dumbass disrespectful taffyapples
