The worst thing happened to me today at work. It was awful. My boss asked me to go to walgreens to get 3 packs of cans coke, sprite, and sunkist and to get to bottles of rubbing alcohol. He gave me his car keys. The first thing that went wrong was that when i got in the car the seat was sooooooo far back i could barely reach the pedals it was crazy and the seat was broken so i couldnt push it foward it was not good plus it was raining and i drive but i've never driven in the rain i'm not experienced. So ne ways i finally got to walgreens. It was drizzling i went in and i looked for the pack of 12 cans and tried to carry it but couldnt so i got one of those little carts. I had everything in the cart and went to pay for it and this guy very scary looking typical thug look i guess u could say walked in andwinked at me it was strange but w/e didnt think much of it. I payed and i was walking out to the car and i noticed he was following me i paniked i threw everything in the back seat got into the car and locked the doors just in time he began to walk back the way he came from. If that wasn't enough things got worse. I tried going back the way i had come from but i got lost. Ive never been in this area before i had no idea where ne thing was and little did i kno i was in one of the worst neighborhoods out there. THis i realized once i was driving around trying to look for my way back. I was freaking out i had no idea where i was and the further i went the worse the streets were and the ppl in it. I called my dad practically crying to see if he could help me figure out my way back and all he could tall me was to stop at a gas station and ask for directions. So i did i got off at a shell station and right when i got out of the car this old nasty guy whistled and was walking towards me by this time my hands were shaking i was crying big time. I got right back in the car and locked the doors. ANd reversed as fast as i could. (this all probably sounds like a make believe story i wish it would have all been a dream but it wasnt). I was shaking i could barely drive and the window was foggy cuz of the rain and cuz my tears it was awful. My dad told me to try going down 28th st and finding 20th buut when i did that i found that the streets were going up so i went back to were the shell station was and instead made a left and noticed that the streets were going down once i saw this i began thanking god and hoping that i was heading in the right direction. Then i finally got to 20th st and made a left and went down to 18th ave and saw the optical sign when i got out of that car wow i was soooo happy i was shaking sooooooooo much my coworker asked if i was ok cuz i had been gone about 1hr and 30 mins they thought i was just eating crap with the car little did they kno. I hope this never happens again or at least not in a bad neighborhood. all i have to say is thank u GOD.
