The other day the hubby and I decided to stop at Taco Bell so I could indulge my sick obsession with their Cinnamon Twists. I buy about 6 bags at once, go home and put them in zip lock bags so I can tote them around with me through out the week. They honestly aren’t that good, but I must have them!
Anyway, as we pulled up to the drive-thru there was a car sitting off to the side and hub asked if I thought it was ok for him to pull up. I said sure, go ahead since the guy was NO WHERE near the drive-thru lane. He was literally stopped in the middle of the parking lot as though he was maybe checking his order or on the phone… who knows.
So, we pull up and prepare to order when we hear this honking. We look and it’s little man from the parking lot. He’s honking and flipping us off. Now, I am the first person to have a major bleep session with an idiot driver, but this guy seemed a little off to me so I laughed and turned away.
I guess he didn’t care for my reaction because he peeled out of the parking lot, drove to an open area and started making donuts while flipping us off. He then gained major speed and came racing towards us as if hes about to run into our truck.
Naturally I’m freaked out and wanting to dial 911.. but before I could even suggest it, he pulls up right next my side of the truck and glares at me. My husband JUMPS OUT of the truck like a moron and starts yelling at him to “bring it”. (LOL). He also included a few “Get out of your car”, “Come on punk” and the ever charming “You want some of this” good ‘ol boy slang. Meanwhile I am screaming at the top of my lungs for him to “GET BACK IN THE DAMN TRUCK!!!” which he happily ignored. What the
hell
did he
think he was
about to
do? Have a
street fight in the
parking lot?What the hell did he think he was about to do? Have a street fight in the parking lot?
Apparently Little Man didn’t much care for the invitation to “bring it” so he peeled out of the parking lot and this time left for good. Allllll that insanity and he didn’t even get to place his order. Afterwards I gave my husband a long lecture about psycho Texans but I seriously doubt he was even listening to me.
Now, as I said earlier, I’m a little obsessed with the cinnamon twists they offer, but is Taco Bell really that damn good that it deserved that much drama?

When I moved to Texas in 2001, I was told two things about Texas. They are the only state that can fly their flag level with the US flag and they carry concealed weapons, so don’t p.o. anyone. As I was driving to Austin, I noticed that each town I passed on 35 had been in the news for some crazy person shooting other people. I decided the advice was sound.

Good lord some people are strange. I was in texas in the military but I never left the base area much ;p
lol. Wow. That is crazy. Hope the cinna twists were good at least.
I was in a car (Taco Bell) one time when the guy behind us started screaming at someone in his car. Out of curiosity, I turned around to see what happened. Dude yells at me “You want me to kick your ***?!” I responded quickly with “Yes, should we go over to the grass or will you just beat on me while I stay in the car?”
He stops for a moment or two and looks puzzled. Then I get out of the car and walk back to his van and say, “I’m ready whenever you are.” The guys rolls his window up (manually) and sits there staring at dashboard.
I guess I called his bluff and he was not sure what to do.
No, Taco Bell is not that good.
Angelika’s last blog post..It’s Sunday, March 9th
@ Beeker - I tell my husband the SAME thing and he just does not get it. It’s like talking to a brick wall. I guess because he’s from Texas he thinks he is just as crazy as they are.
@ Miranda - lol.. he was very strange indeed… not that the husband was any better.
@ Kevin - they were, and I am still eating them although I think I might have to do solo trips to TB from now on.
@ Scott - LOL! I do think a lot of the crazy’s are more talk than action.
@ Angelika - I agree… but Little Man must have thought differently than you and I.
I hate running into bowls of crazy.
Glad nothing too bad came of it all.
Erin’s last blog post..Sailing On The Stars
lol… that sounds rather dramatic. It reminds me of a neighbour’s dog that scared me to death by its constant lunging at me across the gates. But there was once when the gate actually opened and it promptly went into the house…
Wow, wow, I couldn’t stop laughing at the picture of toting cinnamon twists throughout the week, but the whole hubby macho thing scares me to. I try to avoid confrontations especially when I’m with the kids, my hubby he’ll let all that German rage pour through and I tell him afterwards he is not leaving me a widow to take care of 3 kids, I will smack him back to life if he tries to check out early lol.
Ada’s last blog post..The Ultimate blog party
Awh man, I’ve had bad experiences in public parking lots even in Toronto. I don’t have the post up any more but way back when I wrote an entry about this lady who tried to steal my parking spot when it was obvious I was waiting for the spot long before she even came into the lane, and as I got out of my car she starts yelling at me, “Open your eyes!” I’m Asian - so you can imagine how pissed off I was. But if that wasn’t bad enough… after she drove off, she came back into the lane and yelled it at me again! (I was getting something out of the trunk of my car so it gave her time to come back to the lane). It was just her (bad) luck because just as she yelled it, a few cars down another car was pulling out and she couldn’t continue to drive off. So I walked up to her window, positioned myself real close, and in my deepest voice I yelled, “Get out of the car and say that to my face!”
She looked like she had seen a ghost! She got so freaked out she skidded out of the lane, with her poor kids in the back seat. I felt so sorry for her because she had her kids in the car, and there she was teaching them such ignorant behaviour. Gawdamn!
Be careful out there. People are crazy and your life is not worth it. Flipside, it’s hard not to react….I chase cars but since my car is slower, I never catch them. It’s (slow car) a protection. lol

Hahaha. You know this made me laugh. My husband does stupid stuff like that. I tell him to shut up and he says, “What? I can take him.”
I LOVE the Enchiritos (sp??) @ Taco Bell. Those are sooo damn good.
/sigh

This story made me sad. Not because some weirdo gave you a hard time. Nor because your husband got all Rambo on you. It made sad because they no longer sell cinna twists here in Cali.
liz’s last blog post..Lindsay Lohan is still a fire crotch
Well
I’ll have you know
my best friend ruined my life. Her super thin self. I’m minding my own business, living miles away from all o’ them and here she comes
“oh.. all I want it Taco Bell.. let’s find it”
I am working on losing weight ok? I never ate from Taco Bell and as a “new resident” in this town (ok its been almost a year now) I never knew Taco Bell was super conveniently located not too far from me.
I never knew about their nachos and cheese.
I never knew that they were major enablers by staying open super late
I never knew “this last time” would last about a week and change. of night. driving through insanely well priced fast food.
Just reading this post is sending me symptoms of withdrawal. I’m working on it. I’m working on it.
….
oh and your hubby? LMAO wow!
