My bad, Abigail

By Mike Hall, October 10, 2021

An aging gentleman was stopped at a traffic light early Saturday morning.

The light turned green and he stepped on the gas without realizing he’d shifted to a lower gear. As the car hiccupped forward, the driver behind me began honking like a maniac.

I looked in the rear view mirror fully expecting to see a very perturbed person.

Sure enough, the woman was screaming and waving her arms and I could swear there was smoke exiting her nostrils and ears.

Whatever happened to let’s just get along?

I was able to get her license plate number and the authorities ran a report showing this was one in a long series of road rage incidents. I even learned her name.

Ms. Abigail Hornetbonnet is not to be messed with.

Can’t we all just get along?
