Tough

I wish I was tough. But I’m not. I’m one of those people who has trouble saying BOO. I hate emotional chaos and I try like anything to live my life in harmony. So today when I found another contractor who is working on the new housing in our neighborhood driving his big truck down our private drive and once again driving over our already damaged drainage system, I sort of lost it. This is a long running problem.
I followed the guy!
Then I jumped out of my car and screamed at him, telling him he had driven on private property! And you know what he said?? Do you know???
“I got permission from the owner!”
Well folks, I don’t pop my cork often, but I did today.
“Who the F… do you think I am?” I screamed!
I told him if he used the drive again I would call the police and have him arrested for trespass. Then I gathered myself up and stalked to my car!
I got in and drove off…and my entire body shook.
I am such a wimp!
