If she was still talking on her cell phone I would mock her. (You know, hold your thumb to your ear and your pinky at your mouth.)



I would follow her home and get her address. From there I would go to the nearest lake (MN has more than 10,000) and find a rotten fish of some sort.

Wrap it in newspaper, send it via UPS ground.

A lot of you are saying to steal the groceries, and I will respond to that appropriately. But first of all, when I think about her jacked up groceries, my heart breaks. I don't know her situation, finances, time, circumstances, family, and emotional makeup... Now, everyone who says to steal her groceries:

The fact that he drives an RX8 disproves beyond any shadow of a doubt, that he would want or even have use of that woman's trivial groceries. This is a man of impeccable taste, style, and discrimination. Only the best groceries will do; highly selected, highly cared for and prepared from scratch in the kitchen. Why would he want her pre-canned spaghetti sauce? That is only useless weight added and mileage lost if he were to throw it into his trunk. We all have our own styles: I like fresh bought herbs, another RX8 driver might have the space to grow their own herbs, but only the optimal growing conditions, soil, just the right amount of water, just the right hour of harvesting, and just the right amount of sunlight is applied to each individual type of herb. For someone who drives a physical animal such as an RX8, which requires detailed, specific care and attention, and nurture, we already know a woman with a robotic SUV is better left to her own groceries.

As driver and RX8 co-exist, a relationship develops where they become more alike as time goes on. To be worried about micromarring on the trunk speaks much about the physical condition of the owner. As the driver is lean, mean, and cut exquisitely, so is the RX8, and vice versa. As the RX8 is beautifully styled and skillfully driven, beautifully styled and motivationally driven is the driver. Both draw stares. High quality foods for the RX8; high octane fuel for the driver.

I hope you are beginning to catch my drift now, to use a cliche.

Lastly and most importantly, this brings us to the depths of heart, and the realm of soul and absolutes. The RX8 is a man's best friend. It is a hard-working sled-dog that will take you across the Alaskan mountains in search of food and shelter. It is your best friend. It will die before quitting on you, and will sacrifice its life in any attempt to save yours. It is waiting there patiently for your return, and in return you care for it, groom it, and pat its head and scrub its ears. If it were ever wounded you would be devastated, but would nurse it back to full health to run again by your side through the brush, trees, over streams, under the canopies, and through the valleys.

Next time you see that woman, who is in comparison flying a UFO into Mother Russia at an altitude of 23,000 ft, do apologize for your actions, offer to pay for her groceries, and graciously offer an evening of your time to cover her time lost. This, we already know in our heart to be true. We learn from past actions, and muster courage and wisdom to do better in the future.

No one said STEAL THE GROCERIES. If they have been placed on your car, they apparently belong to you. Possesion is 9 tenths of the law.

i would have done the same thing lol. took the bag off the trunk and flung it. Then casually gotten in my car then do a little burnout so she knows what she did was def. wrong. Then she could have a good story to tell her friend she was talking to on the phone.

Her financial situation, time, circumstances, family are irrelevant. She obviously isnt starving or poor because she has an SUV, and is chattering away on her cell phone like a zombie. Even without those points, respect is not something that costs anything. Even a homeless man that respects peoples property wouldn't think of doing something like this.

I personally would not steal her groceries, not because I care about her or anything but because I simply would not want some food I didn't pick out myself, i personally would have played "Discus" with them and see how far away I could fling her ****. If not that, I would at least pick them up and throw them somewhere out of my way with some amount of force to ensure damage. I would have treated her groceries just like those fliers people put under my wiper blades, i take them off (dont even read them) and throw them on the ground. I'm not the one littering - the people putting that **** on my car are littering.

Think of it this way: I dont want people messing with my car, so don't do stupid things like park in high traffic areas, or bad neighborhoods to TRY to avoid it. If this cell phone ***** didn't want her groceries messed with she probably should avoid parking them on top of expensive sports cars.

"Too extreme a response??" HELL NO! I'd have done the same thing. Glad it did not hurt you car. Bet she doesn't do it again.

You gotta be kidding. Cooking from fresh herbs? Growing your own stuff?

That takes time! Time that can be spent driving your RX-8! Take the canned spagehetti sauce (better yet, Chef Boyardi), pop it in the microwave, slurp it down without wasting any time.

Then go for a drive. :-)
