The Weirdest Thing Ever Said to Me

Today I was headed to school to pick up a much-needed book.  I moved to my right a little to avoid running over something lying in the road, and the guy in the right lane apparently thought I was trying to move over on top of him, because he laid on his horn for a good three seconds.  As he was passing me, we looked over at each other (I think everyone does that), then continued on our way.  When we pulled up to a light, he was next to me, and he motioned for me to roll down my window.  Normally, I would've ignored him and stared ahead, because I'm not big on confrontation.  However, I've had an exceedingly bad last twenty-four hours, and I was more than willing to give him the fight he was looking to start.  I needed to relieve some of my tension.  So I rolled the window down, prepared to engage in a few words before the light turned green, but then he said, "I'm sorry, I didn't realize when I was honking angrily at you a minute ago how hot you were.  Have a nice day, ma'am."  I didn't even know how to reply to that, so I just started laughing.  I laughed about it the entire way to school, which was better for releasing tension than the fight would've been.  It was definitely the weirdest, most absurd thing that's ever been said to me.  And I've had some strange things said to me.

Life is just so interesting at times, isn't it?

I guess this is evidence that attractive people get off crimes and out of punishments more easily than unattractive people.

Still chuckling from time to time about that one, even though today wasn't that much better than yesterday.

Sometimes you just have to laugh.
