Mean Lady
Pulled up to a busy intersection in downtown Chicago. A lady (probably 60 - 70 years old) was standing in the median. She looks at me ... "Hey!" ... I look at her... "That is a real ugly color" as she looks at me disgusted... "Real bad choice."

Respond with bad choice on what you're wearing. Really bad!

That is hilarious. When some people get to that age, they hate everything. I know many people who strive to die unhappy. Of course not one of them have a Corvette. Must be something that you catch driving SUV’s.

I just smirked at her, and then took off when the light turned green. I couldn't think of anything clever and wasnt really in a fighting mood anyway.

Ok, that is pretty funny for an old lady to say. She probably liked the car just not the color

Should have asked her why she has such a problem with blue cars and then driven away.

Many keyboard warriors on this forum have said worse things when expressing their opinions. For whatever reason she gave you hers upfront and personal.

I'm guessing she was mentally unstable, normal well adjusted people just don't do that. Did she have a bag with all her belongings with her?

Wise choice. You're never going to come off looking well in a trash talking contest with an old lady.

Reminds me of my grandmother...Always seemed like the only time she was
happy content was when she was unhappy.

Not like you can say anything to an old lady. It's a lose lose. I would have said something like "mind your bunions" and sped off. Anything more than that is just bad karma.

Perfect response. One of the advantages to getting older (whether you're the guy in the Vette OR the old lady) is not having to give a flying /edit/ about what other people think. I do what I want and couldn't care what the other kids say
