Moron vs Nature: FIGHT!

miome and I were heading towards campus: me to finish up the thesis report that WILL NEVER DIE and her to head to work. It was snowing pretty heavily. They originally said 1-2 inches, but there was 2+ inches by the time we got to campus and it was still falling. It was falling so heavily that it really was difficult to keep it from building up on the windshields. We had to keep the heater on full blast to keep it from freezing.
While stopped at a light we notice a yellow sportscar next to us. All of a sudden, the woman driving it opens the door, gets out in her nice business dress, and starts cleaning off her back windshield of snow. The problem? She didn't put the car in park. So now her bright yellow sportscar is rolling forward towards the car in front of her.
Miome and I just stared. Surely, she will get back in her car and put it in park. Right? Right? Of course not! This woman decides that the best way to stop her car from rolling forward is the grab the spoiler and pull back while she cleans off the windshield. Does this stop the car? No! Now the woman is snow skiing behind her car in heels at the grand pace of 3mph.
Less than foot from the car in front of her, woman clears her back windshield. She then hustles around to the open driver's side door, jumps in, and hits the brakes. Accident averted. The light turns green and she is off.
We decide that it is wise to hang back and not get in front of this woman.
