Look Before You Follow

I had to go to the mall this morning to pay my Victoria's Secret bill, and the street around the mall was just in a terrible mess, covered in traffic cones. I had to zip through a couple of store lots to get to the mall entrance I wanted to use. When I was ready to leave, there was one car in front of me exiting the parking lot. I saw a ton of traffic cones in front of that car and I started to turn around and use another exit, but then that car turned right and I followed. I wish I had paid attention to the driver before I decided to follow them. It was a tiny little old lady who had to be sitting on a stack of phone books, and this woman was just plowing through traffic cones like crazy. She was clearing a path for me which was good for me, but then this chubby guy in an orange vest is running behind us trying to get us to stop. I could see the street I needed to turn on just ahead and granny was showing no signs of stopping so we just kept on course until she finished running over cones.
