I was coming into the garage (it's on the ground floor of a large condo building, so you gotta park in the underground garage).... And this person was behind me on my bumper the whole way into the garage up until we both parked. I parked in one space (backed in) and she parked in the space two down from me... You could tell she was trying to hurry up and park first so that she could get out and get to the elevators before I could... But she didn't know how to whip the whip like I did...so she was still doing the back-in dance while I smooth climbed out of my vehicle and headed to the elevators.... The elevator arrived right as she was approaching........
So I allowed sufficient space for her to board....
On the elevator ride up, she was slightly aft of the cab and I was slightly afore...but clearly afore really...I was definitely in the appropriate position to be the first one to disembark upon arrival.
We arrived...
I stepped off.....
To my dismay...I seemed to have acquired an extra appendage in the form of an entire white woman adjoined to my left shoulder....
I proceeded at a quickened pace towards the cart retrieval station...as did she...eventually I accidentally "shifted" my weight to my left.... She in turn shifted her weight to the right... We embraced...well it might as well have been an embrace...because continued on towards the cart retrieval station adjoined and at an ever quickening pace....
I spoke...
"So...exactly what are we doing here?"
She spoke...
"I'm getting a basket, I was first."
I replied....
"No you weren't, I was, you expected me to cede the way apparently"
She replied....
"No, I was first, there was nothing for you to cede."
I had to laugh... Proceeded to retrieve my cart and I bid her adieu...
