Time For A Rant!
I think when I started this blog I said I would balance good and bad, rants and raves so to speak.
I realized the other day that I hadn’t really done much in the way of ranting, but an interaction lately got my ranting mode revved.
First off… no one has rosy, fuzzy, sweet, unicorn days all the time. You are allowed to have bitchy days too. A little ranting is good for you once in a while.
You are human after all.
And so am I, so here goes…
Maybe it’s the unbearable Amazon rain forest like heat we have had here lately, I took the dog outside the other day and I swear I heard the devil himself whisper in my ear…”Welcome to Hell in July Little Lady!”
One minute standing in the shade and I was sweat drippy…yuck! I want snow!
The heat makes me cranky, so I should have known I wouldn’t have the patience I needed for people, in order to maneuver a grocery store.
But away I went anyway.
It’s a very small grocery store, but it was early so I thought I would be ok.
I made it through, grabbing the few things I needed and popped into a check out with only two people ahead of me. Yippee!
That’s when I had my head shaking, what the hell is wrong with people moment.
The woman two people ahead of me was chatting with the guy behind her, one ahead of me. She just kept repeating basically the same thing over and over.
The cashier was finished with her. But the woman just kept talking, she wouldn’t shut up and move!
The guy ahead of me turned, looked at me as if to say, “I’m trapped here…help!”
I thought they were together…but no!
Now add in the young teenage cashier on the other side, that is trying to get out of her area, and can’t because said first woman won’t shut up and move!
So there we all are, stuck until the first woman decides she is done talking nonsense to a complete stranger, poor guy! Lol
In my head, I’m thinking…are you flipping kidding me!
Then I caught the eye of the young cashier and we both eye rolled at the same time and we both got a case of the giggles…lol I swear that’s the only think that helped keep my sanity!
I said…”Excuse me” to the guy ahead of me, he moved and the young cashier was able to break free and bolted.
She said, “Thank you” to me as she raced off. I laughed and said, “You’re welcome, you have a good rest of your day!”
That started a chain reaction and the first woman finally started bagging her groceries, once she saw there were other people in line! Geez Louise!
This is a major pet peeve of mine. We all have things that set us off and this is it for me.
Inconsiderate people that think they are the only ones on the planet!
She had no regard for anyone else, even after looking back at the line I might add.
Newsflash for you sweet pea…you weren’t the only one in the store! Open your freaking eyes!
So I finished bagging my groceries, said, “Hope you have a good day” to the cashier and left.
And what to my wondering eyes do I see…
But the same woman slowly walking across the parking lot…(I saw a snail race by her).
She was talking on the phone, dragging her cart behind her, while a line of cars waited for her to get out of the way! Good Gawd!!
Talk about life lemons…if I’d had one, I would have picked it up and thrown it at her! (Remember..I’m in cranky because of the heat mode here..lol)
It must be nice to go through life, thinking you are the only one that matters!
I got my butt home that day and this introvert didn’t get out again til days later…lol
I just don’t people well with the inconsiderate!
Ok…rant over…I feel better..lol
A little side note…I write these articles in advance, but as I post this I’m getting over another rant…lol
I’m just getting my internet back after being without it for over 12 hours, so that’s the reason I’m posting so late today!
