casino, dickhead drivers, and shopping

The boy had his first weekend night off in AGES. We were going to just stay at home and spend some time together watching movies and playing monopoly. But friends of ours called up and asked if we wanted to go to the casino with them at midnight when it opened. I have never actually stepped foot into the casino, and we had some extra money left this week so The boy decided it would be fun for a while.

I am 26 this year and never once stepped foot into the casino. sad really lol. I honestly don't find gambling all that interesting, my opinion is that chances of winning are fairly slim, i might as well chuck my money in the bin. but i figured i would go along, it gets me out of the house and could be fun. and i really wanted to see the inside of the casino. (by the way half of it was closed off anyway so it wasn't all that great)

We got to the casino and looked around, watched people playing black jack, The boy was slugged 9 bucks for a small glass of JD and coke, which i tasted and either my taste buds are fucked up or there was something not right with the drink. it tasted disgusting, and i usually like JD. anyway, spent a couple of hours at the casino, at about 2am we were ready to leave

We were all starving by this time and drove to maccas. acted like a bunch of teenagers in there (sad when the boy is 30 and the rest of us are aged between 25-26)

driving home on the main road, we're all sitting in the car talking and laughing and just pretty much enjoying the company and the time spent together when the driver looks in the mirror and crouches down a little in his seat screaming like a girl ( as scary as this was i find it hilarious now) My friend (his wife) and i were yelling at him trying to ask him what the fuck was wrong when The boy turns around in his seat and his face went white.......seconds later two cars which were drag racing are right behind us, one overtook us on the left REALLY close doing about 150, the second car came up on our right (totally illegal for starters) but there was no road there so the fucktard pretty much pushed us over into the lane of the other car. thank god the driver crouched down and didn't decide to start swerving to avoid either car or i probably wouldn't be here to type this up.

we ended up losing control and drove into a ditch., car was fine no one was hurt but it was fucking scary.

got home at about 4am, woke up at 11 to go shopping as we really needed food in this house. basically all we had in the cupboards was flour and sugar, and a shit load of coke in the fridge.

Got to the shopping centre and it was REALLY crowded. the shops are only going to be shut for two fucking days, but people were buying stuff like the world was about to end. people standing in the middle of aisles, people getting in other peoples way, pushing, swearing etc etc. i usually am a pretty calm shopper but after standing behind some stupid bitch lady blocking the middle of the aisle while she was talking on her phone and talking to her friend, and having people backed up behind us so we couldn't turn around, and after me repeatedly saying excuse me, i said loudly for fuck sake lady move, and shoved her trolley out my way, got a dirty look from her and a round of applause from everyone standing behind me.

so i have decided i am never fucking shopping the day before public holidays again
