I was so stunned and shocked when this happened that I couldn't even say anything and the person in question must have taken my silence as a sure go ahead....
I was at Shoppers with my kids to get my prescriptions and a few treats for my kids. @HCGLNS is winter camping and the three of us are having a movie and video game sleepover tonight
We get to the cash and there is a lady ahead of us with a cart full of stuff and its taking a while to ring in. A lady gets in line behind us and starts obnoxiously tapping her feet and sighing and just generally being annoying. Yes, it's taking forever, but not much we can do right? I am there with my cane and clearly struggling with getting my stuff on the counter and to contain my kids. She says that she needs to go ahead of me because she has just one item. My stunned silence and jaw dropping must have meant yes in her world. The cashier was horrified and looked at me and then I said its fine let her go. At some point bitch clues in and apologizes....yeah bite me bitch.
My daughter says the woman is a douchey fartbox. I agree.
If we had gotten to the cash at the same time, I would have totally let her go first. I often do that when I have a lot of stuff and another person only has a few things. But we were there and had put our stuff on the counter. I just wanted to add that.

...And then she went home to her lonely, one-bedroom apartment. She looked over at the litter box and wondered, for the fifth time that week, why her cat had felt the need to literally scratch her way out of their home. She thought of the nice lady at the store and her sweet children. "Why doesn't anyone want to give me a baby?" she thought cluelessly as she ripped open her Lean Cuisine dinner-for-one. She spent the night noshing on sad, soft raviolis and watching the people on TV get happy endings. She slept alone. Forever.
and softly in the breeze, she hears the soft spoken whispered words....douchey fartbox.....and wonders what they mean.
Douchey fartbox is my new favourite insult.
Calleigh has a way with words
Or she was in a rush because she had to get back to work to meet with the board about that promotion. She wanted to clear everything up before she left for her 3 week trip to the bahamas.
Or maybe she had diarrhea.
And she was buying a cork. Her one item? One large cork.
I was thinking clean underwear, but a cork makes sense, too. lol
I wish I didn't let stuff like that bother me so much. I was out again today with the kids and my daughter said on the drive home. "Mommy, everyone was nice today!" and they were for sure, I just feel bad that it isn't always that way for my kids.
I posted a long, anonymous rant about something that's happening at work, but it looked like it's still possible to figure out which company and/or organization I'm talking about, so I deleted it and I'm posting the TL;DR instead:
There are ignorant people launching a witch hunt against some folks in my company, and as a result we may lose some of our best workers.

If they come after you, give them the middle finger. Hopefully they're competent enough to translate.
Only if they use Google.
Oh don't worry about me, I'm not one of our best workers so I'm insulated from the drama.

Have your cousins, the Sackville-Higginses, visited lately?
Have you checked for doomweasels?
Our good wedding wine glasses have experienced many tragedies also.
Not enough wine in them? Because that is a tragedy! And one that should be remedied ASAP!
