I am an awful person

And I was glared at tonight, by a stranger, to prove it. :(

(this was actually written on Monday night)

So, my aunt called me and asked me if I could meet her at a gas station as she was passing through town, so she could give me a gift to pass on to my mother. I agreed of course. By the time she called to have me meet her, I had just painted my toenails and decided to go barefoot, despite the freezing weather. I took the kids with me and headed to the gas station. I didn't really want to get out of the car because I was barefoot, but I *was* willing to step out long enough to hug her, and then a couple more times when she was showing stuff to me. Anyways, being her (which is a very irritating personality) everything was going wrong and I was just there, waiting for her to be able to get her card working so she could get gas, then for the pump to work, since she couldn't quite figure it out. I was cold and frustrated but I was waiting because she wanted to "show me something". *sigh*

So fine. I waited. Finally, after she showed me all of her half done quilts (and runners and wall hangings, etc.) she said she had one more thing. As she headed back to her car (which was still filling with gas) she asked me to tell her about my mother's "fall". Well, I hadn't explained it to her yet that my mother hadn't fallen, but anyways, as she asked me to tell her about it, she decided to duck underneath the gas pump's hose (which was still filling her car). You'd have to know her to know why this is ridiculous on many levels. My aunt is NOT nimble. She is not healthy. She is not extremely bright. She is only in her 50s, but people have mistaken her for being in her 70s. So, she decided to duck under the hose, and she realizes too late that she cannot do this. She realizes this as she falls to her hands and knees, on the ground. I saw her fall and while everything in me screamed "go help her up!" my body betrayed me.

Instead, I started laughing. At first I tried to hide it but then I saw the lady one row over looking at me, and then back at my aunt, and looking very shocked. I tried to get the kids to move, so I could get to her, but they weren't quick enough...and seeing that lady looking at me like that, OMG, it made me laugh harder. I was still standing by my car with the door open, and as my aunt got up, I didn't want her to see me laughing so I sat down in the car and ducked down so I could really let loose. Even now, as I write this (feeling ashamed) I am still laughing at the memory. My poor aunt fell all the way to the ground, in our presence, and still had to get up with no help. It is shameful! And the lady who was getting gas next to my aunt? She gave me the iciest glare I've ever gotten by a stranger before, as she drove away. (it's funny because when it first happened and she looked at me, I really thought that she would start laughing too. I couldn't understand how she could *not* laugh)

My aunt almost bumped her head on her open car door as she stood up, which made me laugh even harder. I know I'm evil. I feel SO bad! And yet, as I write this and replay the scene in my head, I still can't stop laughing. My aunt forgave me, but she did give me a hard time. She knows I come by it honestly as everyone on my mom's side of the family laughs when someone gets hurt. (not *seriously* hurt)
My aunt called me later, after we'd said goodbye and I went home, to ask me how she fell. She couldn't remember how it happened. She thought she tripped. I had to tell her *without laughing* that she fell because she tried to duck under the gas hose. *snort*

So, on a scale of 1 to 10, how awful am I? And please tell me something awful about you so I don't feel so alone.

P.S. I called my aunt later in the evening just to apologize again. She has forgiven me.
