Miserable People
A bit of a funny story actually, my daughter and I were standing in line at a local supermarket the other day, along with plenty of other people. This time of year the stores are more full than normal and it would seem tempers scale similar.
Anyway, we're standing in line but off to the side so as not to crowd the isle, just like everyone else. This lady comes straight out of an isle and barges in front of us in the lineup. I'm not sure how it wasn't obvious that she cut in front of us since we'd already been there about 5 minutes or so with our goodies. She notices us and asks if we were in this line, which I responded yes. Then she goes off on some tangent about how rude I am for not saying something and giving her some look that I apparently gave then gets in line behind me. I don't recall any look other than the possible shock that was on my face from her cutting in but it happened fast enough where I hadn't really the time to tactfully say something.
Well she kept on going on about how rude I was in front of my daughter who was as much in disbelief as I was. I turned to her and actually commented on how her actions now aren't exactly the model for tact and she admitted to being rude then walked away in disgust telling me to leave her alone. My daughter and I just stood there as if drenched by a sudden, unexpected storm. It was so stupid it was actually funny.
