Losing my faith in people. Long,vent.

Today wasn't a very good day to begin with. It was just one of those kind of days. I had an argument with DH over something stupid, and then ended up leaving to run some errands with DS.
I went to the grocery store, did my shopping, and then DS and I got ready to leave. When we got outside I realized the roads had gotten very slippery and I was already worried about getting in an accident. I sat down in my car, and I noticed that something didn't feel right. I was really far away from the wheel. My seat had definatly been moved. Then I started the car, and immediatly everything smelled like someone had just smoked in the car. It was very obviously the smell of cigarette smoke. I realized that my car must not have locked and someone had sat down in my car and smoked. I was super freaked out. I unbuckled, and went through the car, but nothing was missing.
So, I take off and head towards home. I get about a mile down the road and DS starts fussing. I tried to reach back and give him his binky, but I could only find his arm with my hand. I couldn't touch his face. But we just moved him into his big boy carseat 2 days ago, so I thought that it was just set up differently and that I couldn't reach him. There was a stop sign less than half a mile ahead, so I decided to just wait until I got there and then turn around and give it to him. I stopped, and turned on the light so that I could see.
That's when I realized that who ever had been in my car had unbuckled his car seat and put it back in it's place so that it wouldn't be noticed. The car seat had silently fallen completely on it's side, and was about to flip upside down. I turned on my blinkers and jumped out of the car to fix it. I didn't know how to buckle it in because we just got it and DH installed it. No one stopped to see if we were okay, everyone just kept honking at me, and flying around me while I was standing on the road on the ice. I finally got it hooked in and got back in my car. I had to pull over in someones driveway because I couldn't stop crying. I just felt overwhelmed with anger that someone would do something that put my child in so much danger, and they probally thought it was funny. And then everyone was honking and almost hitting me... it just gives me no faith in people. I know it sounds dramatic, but I'm still really shaken up about what could have happened to DS. I just came home and held him until he fell asleep. It was just such a horrible day. WTF is wrong with people?

I am sorry, thats really f*cked up. Who does that anyway?? That would scare the sh*t out of me. And nobody cares to help strangers bc they are so many crazies out there. I am glad u and dd are okay though.
I work with criminals so my faith in people has disappeared.
That is horrible. Absolutely horrible. I'm so glad nothing bad happened and your DS is okay. Karma is a biitch and the piece of shiit who did that will get theirs.
Having said that... I might have very well been a person that honked at you. They were probably thinking "WTH is she doing? It's icy, if my car slides I'll hit her" etc. Having absolutely NO idea what truly happened. KWIM?
Your entire post made me so sad. I am very sorry that happened to you and your baby. I am glad that he was alright and you realized it in time.
Try and get some rest, hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.
HOLY CRAP!!
That is crazy creepy and I am pissed off for you!! I hope you have a better day tomorrow!
what a malicious, disgusting thing to do! some people are crazy awful!
OMG, I know what it is like to be stopped on the side of the road in a crisis while everyone else is just yelling and honking and flipping you off - and there's nothing you can do. And to have someone invade your car-space and mess with your carseat? Unforgivable.
I'm so sorry you had a bad day. People are not all insensitive @$$holes, I promise.
