Minding his own business, Tanner was having lunch while working on his travel content in Nashville. Sitting in the corner of a sandwich shop, Tan was hammering away on his laptop before heading to his next excursion. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a woman in her 60s approach his table. He looked over.
"Do you remember me?" she asked.
"No," he replied.
"You just hit my car outside," she responded.
"No, I didn't," he corrected.
"Oh, not such a big man now, hey?" she fired back. "Nothing to say? Where are your big words now? A real tough guy. Do you have mental problems?"
"I have no idea what you're talking about," Tanner said.
"Whatever, big man," she added. "What's your problem? Do you have anger issues? Do you have mental problems?"
Still, confused, Tanner looked back down at his computer and continued typing. But the woman wouldn't let up.
"This is going all over Facebook," she quipped, while standing with her hands on her hips roughly five feet from Tanner's table. She wasn't holding out her phone to record and go all Karen on him so Tanner legitimately had no idea what she was talking about.
Ignoring the woman only riled her up more.
"You have nothing to say now when you're confronted?" she continued. "Do you take medication for your mental problems? You're such a sick person. I can't believe people like you exist. Terrorizing women in their cars and pretending like nothing happened."
Seriously, nothing happened.
"What's the matter? Nothing to say?" she hounded.
"You can fuck off any time," Tanner said gently.
"What was that? No big words from the big man?" she challenged.
"I just told you to fuck off," Tanner concluded, as he put his headphones on and completely blocked out the female, ending the awkward interaction.
With her confrontation going nowhere, the woman stood around for a few more moments before eventually leaving him alone and walking out of the restaurant.
Tanner later texted us: "I have no idea what just happened here. Some woman came into a restaurant screaming that I hit her car. I've been walking everywhere today. Not a clue what she's talking about."
REMINDER: Take your meds before getting behind the wheel and confronting total strangers.
