Classy me

RosebeanRosebean member
in February 2013 Moms
I was in Safeway buying a few groceries today and was running out of time, as DD was getting cranky and has been weird about eating and napping all friggen day. We hit the cashier and I chose the shortest lineup... And ended up stuck behind 2 older ladies with 2 small children. And they took. Their. Bloody. Time! DD was fussing like crazy and all I wanted was to get out of there. And they were asking for specific change and yaking with the cashier. Grrrrrr. (Please keep in mind I had both DD and DS with me). 

So after I finally get through and stomp back to my car and put the kids away, I roll the cart back to the return (which I parked beside), and the lady who had been ahead of me is trying to put hers back, but is struggling to get her coin back.  She decides to strike up a conversation with me (which I was in no mood for-especially with her) and she says "sometimes these carts can be so annoying". To which I replied "I can think of a few things I find more annoying than these carts" and I walked away.

    @Meggiemuggins‌ NOOO she totally kept on talking!!! She told me how she was going to push her cart in after I was done with mine. I mumbled my next reply under my breath after I turned around and i think it went something like "you can do whatever floats your boat!" Obviously I was just a wee but pissy about it. Friendly Canadian 95% of the time.

    That's so something I would do
    The other day at Walmart I was juggling ds, my puse, and something else's. Any way I went to the row of cart s that were all jammed together and saw one sitting aside. As I start putting ds in the cart obviously struggling and this woman runs over and says "that's my cart. I needed a wipe to wipe the handle off".". Seriously! So I pull ds out dropping stuff as I do, she yanks it away(keep in mind she alone carrying nothing so as she began to go a away it said "thank you so much for help bitch!". After I said it I felt so embarrassed my temper got the best of me nor to mention the example I set for ds. :-SS

    @DC2London‌ you and I were the same woman last week then. We had mayoral elections in our city and a volunteer for a woman that I can not stand (seriously, I think she took "how to be vague" lessons by George Bush) and I opened my door at 5 pm, no make up, hair disheveled, still in Pjs, DD in my arms and wrangling DS from the door and promptly told him "we are not Judy supporters" and shut the door in his face. I felt bad after. He looked like a nice guy. I could have been more polite. But again... Classy.

    I'm the annoying, chatty lady in the line at the grocery store.  Last week I took my kids through the self check-out line and I was letting them ring the stuff up themselves, because they like to do it.  A lady pulled up behind me and started getting huffy because I was taking too long.  Then she audibly sighed when I let DS put the money into the machine while I showed him the subtraction and addition from the total on the screen.  I just politely apologized and kept doing what I was doing.  I just spent an hour in the grocery store with four kids, so if I want to take my time checking out without getting frantic and having to worry about the people in line behind me, so be it!

    But I get it @Rosebean because during a bad shopping trip where my kids are driving me crazy I just want to check out as quickly as possible.
