-Amusing Commercial quote: "I should have seen this coming at me like an atom bomb", sung; you can figure out the name of the company on your own time because I'm not about to give them extra free advertising-

I had a dream involving a girl with a very long, colorful hat, that looked like a Suessian Who, but acted kind of like the cat in Get Fuzzy. In other words, irritatingly, but I was (if I remember correctly) able to outsmart her or something.

Is there some rule in parking lots that the passage of a pedestrian in front of a car is the signal for the car to start? Or is everybody but me in on the game of alarming unsuspecting passerby?

Next time you're in a parking lot, see if I'm not right. You'll be walking along, minding your own bipedal business, certainly not doing anything to the cars, when suddenly that vroom-hum starts up, the lights blink on, and you have to hurry away like you are in some sadistic game of musical chairs, passing by the "chairless" area.

And this will alternately happen just infrequently enough so that your guard goes down in between each incident, or so frequently that there is not a safe place to turn, and you are hurtling furtively from side to side as cars seemingly swarm out of their parking spaces into convergence around you. You will additionally notice that no one else has this problem.

Reality check! And look both ways before crossing the street. Thank you.

  1. I can't recall ever having this problem with cars. But of course, now that I have read about your experiences, it is bound to happen to me any day now. :-(
