Hormonal rage moment...must share!

mickjoe

Hey everyone! Hope all the ladies are feeling well and babies are happy. So something happened today that had me in a full rage moment...and I wanted to see if others would have been as offended as I was!
I was with my mother and law at a local mall when she was buying some skin care products. I patiently waited with her to finish her business and she had Wetzel's Pretzel bites (which are aaaaamazing). I took a few and the man helping her felt the need to tell me "you shouldn't eat those, they so bad for you" to which a threw my sweater open like a cape to reveal my belly and let out some choice words! Mine were something along the lines of many f bombs and a few insults in between. I received no apology in the process either!
Would you have done the same??

Although it was rude of him to say, no, I wouldn't have dropped the F-bombs. It's kind of not surprising he didn't apologize to you after that.

Fair enough...can't believe the nerve of some people though!

I would be offended and tell him to mind his own business, but a bunch of f-bombs seems a little excessive.

VeggieFan

....no?

I mean, I guess it was rude of him to comment on what you were eating, but did you really think dropping a few f bombs and insulting him was an acceptable response to a strangers off hand comment about pretzel bites? And you think YOU deserved the apology?

specialsn0wflake

Agree with PP. It was a rude comment but your reaction was way over the top. I wouldn't have apologized to you after that either.

edelat11

I'd be a little ticked he told me what I shouldn't eat but I'm not confrontational, I would probably have given him an evil eye

[-(

mickjoe

Well...I guess my temper was a bit hot today then...verdict is in!

mickjoe

Tits calmed. Good thing I don't buy my beauty products there! Man...I thought at least a few others would've done the same! Oops! @snedge I like your idea better!

taahira

I think you over reacted, and not surprised he didn't say sorry. I would have gone with a snarky comment and enjoyed the rest of my pretzel.

starshollow

His comment was moderately rude and annoying. But I would have just rolled my eyes and kept eating. Your response was over the top.

Scarlettg

Well it looks like everyone agrees that you overreacted.  However, there's not much you can do about it now.  Just maybe be more aware of your reactions in the future?

PS- the guy was definitely rude, so don't beat yourself up TOO much!

Thanks I'm not too worried about it now, but will watch it considering the response of others. I guess I could've handled it a bit better thanks for the support though!

mickjoe

Thanks! In all fairness I did ask for what you would have done and I got it! Maybe I'm more rational than I think haha.

mickjoe

Tit calming cream and big girl panties do wonders!

Not post related...but my SO's last name is Wetzel so when we go to Wetzels pretzels we get free pretzels because they think he's the owner. They are fantastic and now I want some

mickjoe

Awwww yum. So lucky! Now the thing I'm most pissed about is that I stopped eating the pretzel! Must return soon for more...drool.

amanduhtm

The cinnamon sugar bites ...you have to @mickjoe‌

Is it just me or did anyone find it strange that we disagreed with OP, but she didn't flip her shit and call us names? I'm a little baffled by this and not really sure how to handle it. I'm not sure that this has ever happened before. Good job, OP on responding to constructive criticism. ETA my comment has no bearing on your original post, OP. Just the norm around here.

I thought the exact same thing.  Given the state of things lately I was expecting a full meltdown.  Props, OP!  

mickjoe

True! Imagine a pregnant lady and European salesman tumbling around with pretzel bits flying! Not pretty.

SuperFudge00

If you had to open your sweater to show your pregnant belly, should I assume he didn't know you are pregnant? If so, he was offering an unsolicited opinion on the quality of the pretzels and not you or your eating habits.

This was such an overreaction and my face is still reflecting the perplexity I feel from your description. I second the need to calm your tits!

mayfateleadyou

He was rude and you over reacted but huge props for not taking insult on the opinions you asked for. It's really a refreshing change. Lol.

Murran131

Yeah, definitely an overreaction - I think I would have laughed it off, something like, Oh I know but they're worth it.

nomesy

I would've just eaten another and made a point that he saw me chewing .... Gave him the "who the fuck are you look" and walked away , but anywho !!

nomesy

It's hilarious to me that I read this this morning and I'm now sitting here in rage quit mode because I don't want to do New Year's Eve I want to crawl into my pjs and watch a marathon of something whiny like desperate housewives ... I have to go to an engagement party tonight where people I despise will be and I made sure to wear a "I'm not showing my bump" top so they have nothing to talk about behind my back ..... Grrrr not to mention I hate New Years as it reminds me I'm a few days from being a year older ... Ahh hormonal rage I can now see why she acted the way she original did lol!!!!!!

nomesy

Aaa and update , I just drove to where I'm meant to be saw someone's car that I can't stand being around socially (she accused me of stealing my now husband from her even though they were nothing ) and drove off in a hot mess of hormonal tantrum tears. I'm not going to the party , I can't deal with it today .. Husband isn't with me so I my backbone is missing. And I'm going to go a to friends instead and wait for husband to finish work.

nomesy

I look forward to it !! I'm calm now but my friend won't answer her phone so I can explain. May have lost a friend due to hormones woo!

JJBoden

I would have said nothing. If I did say anything I would have said " thanks for you concern, I can control my own diet". I for sure would not have dropped any eff bombs or gone into a rage.

jmhansen11

Let's talk more about rage-y... I'm currently plotting ways to irritate and annoy my husband all day because I had insomnia all night, and this morning when I could finally fall asleep he began snoring and keeping me awake again. So in a huff I grabbed my phone and robe and said I was going to the couch.. Thinking he would follow me for a back rub or beg me to stay and he would move to the couch. But no... He's blissfully sleeping up there in our warm bed. I'm saying lots of F bombs towards him in my head right now. And plotting.

tommyandlarissa

My favourite part of this is "threw my sweater open like a cape!!" LOL Apart from the over the top response to what was definitely a rude comment (people will seriously say whatever they want, employ filter please world), the drama involved in the cape action makes it entirely worth it. I imagine your hands on your hips and your sweater blowing in the breeze...amazeballs.

Just yesterday a worker at Macy's asked me if I just ate and I awkwardly say yes. She then states I smell like food. Um ok. I feel gross now. I sort of laugh tho and said well, I guess its to the fragrance department next lol what if i hadn't just been in a restaurant and that's me in my natural glory? Scary thought.

mickjoe

Way to make you feel weird! If look at someone wired if they told me I smelled like anything but perfume haha. Subway smell in particular creeps me out, and I want to smell nothing like yeast!
@jmhansen11‌
That's hilarious. In a totally understandable way of course. My husband likes to wake me up lately to point out that I'm snoring. I get so pissed.

ElizabethSwann

F that guy!!!

I mean i wouldn't have said F to his face. But the guy was a douche.

I would have just told him to mind his own business.

starshollow

I shouldn't keep coming back to this thread. I really need a soft buttery pretzel right now.

mickjoe

Talk about self control....went back to that mall today and didn't even get any pretzels!!:)

picklesx

I don't get what displaying your bump had to do with eating pretzels.

Scarlettg

@mickjoe my DH has been waking me up too.  He's all, "you're snoring, roll over."  Well, what about the 8,000 times we've been asleep and HE'S been the one snoring?  Then again, the other day he came out to sleep on the sofa because I was snoring so loudly and he couldn't wake me up.  I kind of felt bad about that.  For about a minute.

That sucks getting all dressed up and ready to go for nothing! Why is your friend inviting a bitch like that? One of my biggest pet peeves is friends who stand by while another friend is rude to you. They should stick up for you.
