INT. BLOCKBUSTER PARKING LOT - AFTERNOON
I was at work today, restocking our retail section, bored out of my mind.... when suddenly...
My manager: Oh my god Brenda!! Somebody just hit your car!!
Me: WHAT?!!
I quickly run over to the window to see.
My manager: That gray car that's pulling away just hit your car!
I ran out of the store, and chased after the car. Luckily, to exit Blockbuster you have to turn around again and wait at the trafiic lights, so I was able to cut across and yell at her while her window was down.
Me: DID YOU HIT MY CAR?!!
She was with her friends. She looks at me and then turns her head the other way, obviously ignoring me... and then drives off. I squinted my eyes trying to get a good look at the license plate but I couldn't see it without my glasses. So I make my way back to the store.
Guy who was repairing the store signs: Miss! Miss! We got the license plate. Here you go.
He hands me a card with the plate number on the back and then he gives me his business card.
Guy who was repairing the store signs: And if you need a witness, here is my card.
Me: Thank you so much.
My manager, at this point is now outside with me.
My manager: Wow this is so exciting! Sorry, I know your car got hit, but this is so exciting!!
So I was pretty lucky to have my manager watching the parking lot, so I can run out and scream like a maniac. And I was pretty lucky to have the nice sign guys take down the information for me.
A couple of hours later....
Co-worker: Do you guys hear that? That guy outside our parking lot was screaming really loud and he was like pulling that woman's hair and shoving her and stuff.
My manager and I go over to the window and sure enough, there's this guy who's screaming at the top of his lungs and hitting and shoving this woman. She's just sitting on the curb looking really upset. It seems they were searching for something because they kept scanning the ground. Must've been pretty damn important whatever it was because he was pissed off outta his mind and blaming it on the girl.
Me: Should we do something?
My manager: I dunno.... but this is really exciting!!
Suddenly out of NOWHERE, a cop car comes speeding into our parking lot. My manager looks at me:
My manager: Did you call the cops?
Me: No. You didn't?
My manager: No.
Suddenly, the oc transpo "cops"/security also comes speeding into our parking lot. I guess because there's a bus station right next to our store.
My manager: Ah, the fake cops are here.
So the guy is frisked and taken into the cop car while the other officers interrogate the woman.
My manager: It's really bad that we're just standing here watching.
Me: Yeah....
My manager: But I don't care! This is exciting!
So then another police cruiser pulls in.
My manager: Oh, look there's another one coming.
Me: Hmmm....... backup?
My manager: For this?
Me: Y'know, while the police are here.... you think they'll run a license plate check for me?
At this point my shift had ended so I just went home. With my dented car.
Needless to say.... it was an "exciting day".
