Yesterday was supposed to just get fitted for my molar bands, and new impressions with the bands in for my appliance.
All of that was pretty uneventful (aside from being sore today from all of the putting on of bands and taking them off, and then re-inserting the spacers)
But my ortho came in, poked around a little and decided I could change my ligs this week instead of next week. Minor, yes - but yay for me! My light purples were starting to get dingy.
So, I got my wires clipped and reset, ortho checked my baby canine and seemed pleased, and doubly pleased with my two front teeth progress so far.
Next week I get my bands put in with my appliance. Yay
So..
Here is me smiling because I have ligs that aren't dingy!
And here is me opening up my bite for a better look.
I was so happy, and then on the way home I decided to make a pit stop at CVS for some hairbands (it was HOT and I wanted to put my hair up). When I finished shopping. I went to my car and sat around for maybe 10 minutes relaxing, listening to the radio and piling my hair on top of my head with the hairbands I bought.
I went to leave and noticed the mini SUV in the spot directly behind me had their brake lights on, so I waited to see if they were backing out. And waited, and waited - and she started messing with her hair in her visor mirror, so I pulled out.
I have a tiny, tiny car (new beetle) and so I don't have to pull back as much to get out of a spot. I was pulled out enough to where I had put my car into drive and start straightening my car slowly, making sure I could clear the car parked beside me. I glanced in my rearview one last time out of habit, and just in time to see her reverse lights go on and immediately begin backing out. I panic and try to make sure I can clear that other parked car so I can get the hell out of the way, and at the same time I am BEEPING horn over and over and over again and then CRACK.
So I put my car into park, and get out to look. I have a hunk of paint scraped off of my back bumper and a dent/hole next to my license plate. I am calm, because I figure that she just didn't see my tiny little car from her SUV and it will just be exchanging of insurance info and be done. She was an older woman, maybe in her 60's and tiny. She looked like a school teacher. And she starts yelling at me! I think she thought with the braces that I was much younger than I was and could bully me. I stand there gaping at her, and I'm like.. you hit ME! I had my car in drive and was pulling away when you backed out - and I BEEPED my horn about 30 times and you kept coming.
And she gets this really condescending look on her face and says I don't think so, I think you were in a hurry and didn't look before you backed out. So I am getting angry and I relay back to her exactly what I did before I backed out and she starts arguing with me. And then the car on the other side of me, the people came out of the store and I was blocking them, so I said I am just pulling out of the way, and then we can call the police be right back. SO I pulled into a spot two spots away. And as I get out of the car with my stuff, she TAKES OFF.
I tried to chase her down on foot enough to get her license plate number, and then tried to snap a pic with my cellphone, but no luck. Only got the first number and a good description so I called the police and filed a report.
Conveniently nobody in the lot while I am waiting for the cop will admit to seeing the accident or the woman driving off. Including a guy who was sitting about two feet away. Whatever.
Luckily, I went back to CVS about 30 min later with my husband to see if the camera outside was pointed at the spot so I could make sure the police got that if it did, and one of the kids working there told me he saw the entire thing, and described the entire accident! I guess he was on his way into work and didn't see her running off on me and figured that it was fine. So he offered to be a witness and gave his name and number and I forwarded to the officer who took my statement.
I am SO irritated right now
But I got new ligs!
