She Had It Coming

Am I the only one that thinks that the Grandmother in A Good Man is Hard to Find had it coming? The entirety of the story she was completely obnoxious. She was one of the those "it's my way or the highway" kind of people.  She caused more distress and chaos than everyone in the family combined. She is the sole reason for why the family was even on the road when the Misfit came by. Then once he was holding them captive she kept calling herself a lady and brown nosing him hoping to keep him from killing her. She had no real regard for her family. It was all about her.  Eventually the Misfit got fed up with her and shot her. As far as we know, she's the only woman that we have proof that the Misfit committed. When it comes down to it though, I think I would  have shot her too. I agree with the statement that he made at the end of the story. The Misfit said that the grandmother would have been good if someone had shot her every second that she was alive.
