Today, when people aren’t wondering when I’m moving to Frisco, they’re asking how my wife managed to get maced in a parking lot this morning.
After the jump, she tells the story.
Today, as i do a few times a week, I took Isaac [who is 3 years old] for donuts at the donut shop down the street. I parked in a spot next to a guy that took up 2 spots forcing me to also take 2 spots. There was an empty space on the other side of me that was very small and another car parked next to that one. When we came out of the shop there was a white smaller suv parked next to my passenger door. I have a Honda Element that does, unfortunately, take a lot of room to open the back door to buckle in Isaac since the front door opens normal but the back door opens backwards. there was maybe 12-14″ to get the 2 doors open to squeeze in Isaac and get him buckled. There was a mom sittin in her car while her 12 (?) year old girl was inside. When I opened the door I hit, very lightly, her mirror. She rolled down her window and said, “You did NOT just hit my car! Aren’t you going to say excuse me?” So I said, “excuse me.” I didn’t say anything after that, just continued getting Isaac in the car. Once again, my door hit her mirror again lightly, she said something to me again. I said, “Of all the empty spots in the lot, you had to squeeze between two cars?” She said, “You hit my car again and i’ll mace you.” Not really thinking about such a ludicrous action. So, as I was closing the doors after buckling Isaac into his car seat, I once again knocked her mirror and after the doors were closed I turned to walk around to the other side of the car to leave and she… yes…. MACED ME!!!
There was never a physical threat, I hardly talked to her, I stayed unconfrontational b/c of isaac and her daughter.
I ran into the store to get water and started screaming for the police and that she maced me. I thought she had drove off but I turned around and there she was. So I threw the water bottle at her and started screaming, “You b—- you maced me!” I kept asking why. Her daughter ran in crying and she told her that I was a crazy lady. SHE HAD JUST MACED ME FOR NO F—— REASON!!!
Unfortunately, no one knows who she is, got her tag number or car model/make. Judging by the uniform her daughter was wearing I think she went to [an area school]. I plan on finding out who she was and pressing charges. I know it was a newer model white suv, maybe a Volvo or Saturn. She was a black woman about my size and age, and I might not recognize her, but I felt so bad for her daughter b/c she was so upset that I will definitely recognize her. I also plan on driving by the donut place every morning to see if she is there. I was completely assaulted for no reason.
BTW: mace. Not fun. It burned for a good hour and even now it still feels uncomfortable. Plus, I was crying and I guess the tears made it worse. Plus it really burned the inside of my nose and all the skin around my lips and the inside of my lips. Plus, I think she really go it into my right eye b/c even now if I tear up it starts to burn again.
I can’t believe at 7:30am this morning I was maced. What is going on?
I can back up the mace talk. I got a little on me when she came home. Burned one of my eyes, too.
