i had a japenese family who lived across the street. hubby would pull up and honk the horn. my mom would yell and rant and rant some more. the wife would run out and open the garage door. and my mom would continue with her rant, looking out the window. would piss her off.

BUT..... the women i know in this day and age, they dont take no shit, from no one.
