Movie

This is not about a specific movie or movies in general, this is about when you feel like you are in a movie. Yesterday I parked my car and started walking to the store like any other day. Except I am walking and I hear a car horn and this guy slows down as he gets closer to me and then comes to a near stop in the road. I thought maybe he was trying to get the attention of the person walking past me, but it didnt seem like that was the case. I keep walking because I am all about avoiding weird situations... its possible he could have needed help, if that was the case then somebody else would have helped later. Well I am walking and I am a melodramatic individual so I start thinking what if he comes past me again from a side street. It turns out the very next street, this guy is sitting at the top of the hill. I keep looking straight to pretend like I didnt notice he was there and of course he honks again and he also flashes his high beams(I notice this out the corner of my eye). I keep walking forward and fortunately that is the last I see of the guy.
That is one of those things that just do not make any sense. I thought back and wondered if maybe I cut him off, but he would have gestured at me the first time he honked but he just looked at me.

That was pretty much all of my excitement for the day. I got dragged to a happy hour that our running group goes to and somehow we got onto the topic of whether or not I could beat this guys scooter up a nearby hill. The thing was, I was betting that the scooter would win and he was betting that I would win. Bets dont really work out when both sides our betting on themselves to lose. Fortunately I pushed the race to next week. Maybe I will post the outcome on the running blog.
