I just had the most horrific experience with a driver working from R & S Plumbing and Heating. I am literally shaking from this man's lack of human decency.
I haven't been to Eagle River since the new McDonald's was built. I've been pulling into their parking lot my entire life. So I wasn't expecting that they'd changed to two enter and exit lanes when I pulled into the suicide lane on Eagle River road. There was a car pulling out of the lot which blocked my view of the exit sign in my line of sight. So I pulled in beside them as they pulled out with plenty of room.
That's when I came face to face in my little car to this plumbing van. The man pointed to the exit sign, now clearly visible beside my vehicle. I promptly made an oh my goodness, I clearly didn't see that! face before motioning, asking if he would back up a few feet and let me through.
Common decency and compassion would dictate the following response: this woman didn't see the new sign, I'll just back up a few feet and let her safely pass. Now she'll know for future reference that the parking lot structure has changed.
That is not what this man did. No. He crossed his arms and shook his head and decided I needed to learn a lesson. He refused to move the few feet it would have taken for me to safely enter the lot. Instead he forced me to backward into oncoming traffic on the busy main road through Eagle River.
At this point I am flabbergasted that this man lacked all compassion and forced me into a dangerous situation because he simply refused to move. At this point I'm upset that I, a pregnant woman with my mother, was faced with gunning it to get to safety. At this point I'm absolutely baffled that he REFUSED to move a few feet to let me pass.
It gets better! The man drove back around and waited for me to go through the drive thru so that he could yell at me! That's right. He looped back around, parked, and waited for me to come back out. So I whipped out my cell phone, took a picture of him, which he did in turn, and proceeded to leave the lot. Again driving the wrong way for sake of getting my picture. Which NO ONE else cared about or even noticed. And this man got out of his van and followed me around the parking lot to continue to yell at me.
Needless to say, I left McDonald's shaking and in tears, under waaaaay more stress than is healthy. We will never do business with R&S Plumbing and Heating. This man is everything that is wrong society, forcing someone into a dangerous situation because he was too inconsiderate to step aside. I'm starting my day absolutely horrified and trying to calm down. My baby does NOT need this level of stress .
