One can always fantasize! :lol: It's annoying when a little car thinks they will sneak in going against the flow of traffic to the gas pump. Once I was waiting in the gas line and was pulling up to the pump with this woman in a small car tries to race up before me going the wrong direction. I didn't budge, guess she figured her little car would go under the front bumper of my big truck and the chrome grill guard would trash her car out. She slowwwwly back up! LOL Ha!
Pick me, pick me. I would do something like this. Or just get right back in her face and tell her off. I hate when people are like that.
Oh I so wish we all could hang out together in real life and do all of our shopping together~I betcha NOBODY would dare mess with us mammas! LOL!
The lot of us together might scare all the other shoppers away. I get funny looks all the time when the girls and I are doing math and reading and health in the isles.
I hate people... I swear one day I will end up on the local, then national news from some stupid act of violence towards some random stranger that makes some dumb comment... Oh well, maybe I can sell the story to inside edition or something... hahaha!
ROFL! You made my day! You are so honest, sometimes I have felt that way but haven't verbalized it. YOU ROCK! One time when I was a teen there was a sleep over. There were about 15 of us girls. One girl must of had the stomach virus as she was spending time in the bathroom vomiting. None of the other girls even cared, they were laughing at her. I felt bad for her (didn't know her) and went into the bathroom (the door was open) and asked her if she needed anything. She responded in a very hateful tone with me (it surprised me because I was trying to help and nobody else cared) and the first thing that came to mind was, "I hope you choke on it". :twisted: That was quite a vicious remark that came out of my mouth! Surprised me!
Exactly! That would be fun! We could have t-shirts printed up that say, "Homeschool Mamas"! The little ones can have t-shirts that say: "The mess in my diaper is nothing compared to the mess you would be in if you decide to mess with the homeschool mama gang" or~ The mess in my diaper is nothing compared to the mess you would be in if you decide to mess with my mama!
You Ladies are so funny!! Such a great way to let off steam. My dh says I have a split personality. It just depends on my mood weither I will let my tounge loose or keep it in check. I try to be nice, really I should not have a nerf bat, because I would use it. You know there are some people who just NEED a good wack. AHH I bet there would be less road rage if we could randomly wack people in the grocery store. If you have ever worked in a place like a grocery store then you would like to have a bat too. I told my dh about saving her from a heart attack by her releaving all that stress. He said he thougth I had given her one, with "all those plastic bags" . I mean how unthoughtful of me. hehe I have had a good laugh. Because personally I would never have the gall to tell somebody anything like that. I would have nicely offered to take the cart or something like that. Where you can get your point across, but not be a jerk. OH and the lady who put the cart behind the VAN..OMG. I can't imagine ever doing that, I would have been tempted to push it back behind her car. Then say Sorry when she ran over it. Now our lessons learned. 1. Be nice in public, you don't know who has a bat 2. Leave a little space in line, or else you will be there forever 3. Sorry doesn't cut it, when your stupid 4. Homeschool Moms shouldn't shop in groups, whitty, armed, and with smart kids AHHHHHH the terror!!!
ROFL! When I am shopping I think it is inconsiderate to pass in front of someone looking at items on the shelf without saying, "Excuse me". I don't know how many times someone has parked their big arrogant head in front of me so "they" can look at the same shelf I was looking at while I am checking out an item on the shelf. That is so rude. Some people can never wait their turn. A lady did that to me and I said, "Gee, I think you can buy manners on aisle 7". She never looked back and sped off with her broomstick without looking back. :lol: I am normally not "that" obnoxious but when people are totally stupid and inconsiderate, I say something.
When somebody is too close to me in line, I start slowly leaning back. Or I tell my kids in a loud voice to "scoot up please, I don't have room behind me!"
Oh yeah, I've said pretty much the same thing to one of our post office workers. She looked at my box, 5 ft long by 5 inches, basically a tube. The label was already on it and I asked if she could do money orders because she was at the desk that wasn't a part of the normal counter. She said, "ugh, yeah." So I said, "what you don't want to? Okay, I'll just wait for the next person that can actually help me." She said, "no it's not that, I'm just looking at your box, and I don't want to deal with that." I said, "the label is already on, postage paid, it's ready to go." She said, "I know, but I still have to weigh it and enter it and..." I didn't say anything or look at her when she told me thank you while giving me my change.
You could have responded, "Perhaps I will find someone who "is" willing to do their job, sorry to have inconvenienced you". I was at an upscale clothing store and the sales girl copped an attitude with me when I nicely asked for help with something under the glass counter. She did a huff and then seemed less than willing to show me the scarf so I said, "Perhaps your supervisor would show more enthusiasm helping me than you have displayed". Gee, after that comment she was my best friend and made so many suggestions and she even liked what I was wearing.
lol People you wonder about them, Yes, I think we need to get togther and all go to Wally World and show them how to act. We can ask Wally World if they have a extra room so we can teach those unschoolers so manners. We will call it Learning Manners from Homeschool Mom's Number 101
People who go through life being inconsiderate to others like the examples in the thread, continue doing it because they get away with it and are never called on it. When someone is really unkind, inconsiderate I will call them on it so they know their behavior didn't go unnoticed. Like crowding in line or leaving ones car parked at the gas pump while others are waiting are examples of selfish behavior and the ME attitude. When someone crowds me in line if they think being in my space is going to get me to move quicker, well they are dumber than I thought. I will dig my heels into the ground and take longer. I won't reward rude behavior.
Bottom line: miserable people try to make other people feel miserable. It's the only way they can feel better about themselves. Honestly, though, don't you really only need ONE plastic bag? One that is just the right size to fit over her head. Oh, yeah, you'll need a roll of duct tape, too!:twisted:
