Shopping always pisses me off, but this time of year just makes me want to commit unspeakable crimes upon the fucktards in this tiny one whore town. Oops...did I say one whore? Well, that might be true. My guess is that there may be more than one. But who really cares???
My 8 year old was invited to a birthday party this weekend and I decided that instead of buying a toy that the little girl might not like, I would give a gift card, and allow her to pick something out for herself. All 8 year old girls love to shop...right? Anyway, there I was, standing in line, waiting for the person in front of me to finish her purchase. In this case the purchase beer (a common item in carts here in an alcohol frenzied town) and chocolate covered cherries. Now, as far as I know, every child in Pre-K or even younger, are taught the concept of a "line". You stand in line. When the person in front of you moves up, you move up. Isn't that right? So, everytime that whore of a hag would move up, I would move up. Here I am, minding my own freaking business, just waiting my turn, and moving the line along like a good little girl. When this woman finished paying for her cherries and brewskies, she threw her bags into her cart and told the cashier that she had better go since she was "being rushed by the person behind her". Well, the person behind her was ME. I politely (those of you who actually know me will find that hard to believe) but I actually politely asked "Excuse me?" and she informed me that since I have been behind her I have done nothing but rush her. Now, I am one of those anal people that have their own air space...You dont invade my air space, I don't invade yours. I hate close talkers, close standers...even when standing in line at Wal-Mart for crying out loud! So from that stand point, I know I wasn't in her space. I asked her if she understood the concept of standing in line, or if her beer soaked brain had interfered with her thinking process...that when you are in a line...any 5 year old knows, that when the person in front of you moves up, you move up. She just stared at me with that cloudy look most people in this town have and said "This is not the way to start the season!" I asked her what season she was referring to...the Drinking a Case of Beer and Inhale Two Dozen Chocolate Covered Cherries Season? Needless to say, that pissed her off. She called me rude. Can you believe it??? ME RUDE??? NEVER!!!!! I told her that I had not been rude to her at all yet, but if she wanted to see rude, I would be happy to give her a grand lesson on how to be rude. That was when I literally told her to shove her chocolate cherries up her old wrinkled ass and to choke on her beer. She left at that point, and I looked at the cashier and noticed for the first time that she was laughing her ass off. She literally had tears. That set me off laughing my ass off! What a bunch of weirdo's here. I mean really, all I was doing was freaking standing in line. ACK! So, I suppose that is how I started my "season". I wouldn't have it any other way. |
