Help me out here, please
i had a most disturbing encounter yesterday and I'd like some input from our members.I was standing outside the store and I happened to notice a very odd paint job on the hood of a car. It looked like "hounds tooth" men's jacket. I wondered if it was merely paint or if it actually had a rippled texture. I stepped up to the car and I lightly touched the hood of that car with my index finger. Just then a 30 yr old , heavily tattooed , woman hollered at me, "Why did you touch my car", she demanded with an angry face. I was taken aback and I didn't know exactly how to reply but I said "I was curious about your paint job" She hollered something else at me that I didn't quite catch. But she was obviously extremely upset. She kept hollering at me for several minutes. At one point I said , "Hey, lady, chill out".
Geez, I meant no harm and I certainly could not have damaged anything by lightly touching the hood paint job.
Was I wrong to touch her car ? Was I the one out of line ? Or did she overreact ? Maybe under the influence of some substance ?
If I had touched your car would you have hollered at me ?

If her car roof was unusual, then she should expect some interest in it. Personally, I would have been happy to chat to you about it and wouldn't have shouted at you; but then, as we have already discovered, you do live in a volatile Country Bakerman.|
