Car Concerts
About a month or so ago I was driving to work when I stopped at a traffic light. The lady in the car in front of me was one of my neighbors. At first it struck me as odd because we didn’t leave the apartment complex at the same time, but of course, anything can happen in traffic at any moment. Nevertheless, I was behind her at the light.
Now, I don’t really know this neighbor. Yes, I live in the south but my apartment complex is no Mayberry. People just kind of come and go and do their own thing (other than the stupid fucking dog people I wrote about a week or so ago). As we were sitting at the light I could see the lady yelling at people. I couldn’t figure out why she was so upset. It seemed as if she was screaming at people to go, but we were all stuck at the same red light with no way out. I just thought, “Man, what a bitch.”
I have ended up behind her at lights several different times since then, but no yelling that I noticed. We did NOT leave the apartment complex at the same on any of these occasions.
Yesterday I was behind her again…and again, we did not leave at the same time. Although the timing intrigues me, it’s not really that big of deal. The deal is this: yesterday I thought she was yelling again, but there was no one in front of her. Naturally I thought not only is she a bitch but a crazy one at that because there’s no one to yell at. Then I started to watch her more closely because I could see her every move by looking at her sideview mirror. She’s not an angry yelling bitch at all. She is a passionate car singer who belts out her tunes and even plays air guitar by extending her left arm out of the window and strumming with her right hand in front of her. I sing in the car all the time, but I’ve never given a concert like that! She was so in to it! It was the funniest shit I have ever seen.
If you call my aunt on her cell while she’s singing in the car she’ll say, “oh, I’m just having a concert.” This neighbor lady put on the best car concert of all time.
