Just came home from a quick trip to the grocery store and I am fuming!
Some people are so rude and inconsiderate. The last time I checked, the Earth revolved and rotated on an axis, not on the whims of certain people!
It was not bad enough that HE HAD 15 ITEMS IN THE 10 OR LESS LANE, but to add insult to injury, he had TWO SEPARATE ORDERS and paid for each of them with the EBT card. I'm not against the use of Food Stamps and aid when it is deserved and truly needed, but prime black angus ground beef, and steaks and name brand everything. Give me a break! Then, this aggravating, disrespectful, world-revolves-around-me-attitude with legs, unloaded the rest of what was in his cart - the beer and cookout supplies AND left the empty cart sitting at the entrance to the lane, totally blocking anyone else from entering or even thinking about putting their groceries on the belt.
So, I gave him my stern mother look and gently pushed the cart until it barely nudged him. Thought that might get his attention! Oh, it did. He pulled it forward a whole 5 inches, paid for his groceries, two different times and walked out of the store with the cart still in the middle of the checkout line! HOW RUDE!!!
I spouted off to the poor girl at the checkout. She agreed, but let me know that it happens all of the time. Had I not been with my husband, I probably would have pushed his cart out to him in the parking lot and announced that "hey, you forgot something!" Thank Heavens, my husband is more restrained than I tend to be, and really doesn't like confrontations. But the real reason that I didn't chase down this idiot in the parking lot was because it was raining cats and dogs. I can take some solace in knowing (and witnessed as well) that he had to skip through the parking lot with his 10 bags of government subsidized food and his beer. He dashed puddles and walls of water falling from the sky and arrived at his Mercedes, soaked to the skin! HA HA. Karma! I'm so bad.
I know we shouldn't smirk at other's misfortunes, but couldn't help myself when I saw that wet, lump mass of rudeness have to get his nice leather interior wet from his soaked clothes. Okay, all together now, let's give it one great big "awe, poor baby".
Yes, I giggled and I got great sadistic pleasure out of knowing that after he put away his $100.00 worth of groceries, that he had to go out and probably apply leather dressing to his seats so they didn't get ruined.
Okay, I've vented enough. I got my grrr's out, and if you happen to be the poor, pitiful man that obviously had no proper upbringing, gee honey, I'm soooooo sorry. Next time, put your cart up!
ARK!
