How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

In Pursuit of a Giftbag

in Everyday on 09/16/09

A quick trip into Zellers.

I just need 1 gift bag.

Pink.
Perfect.
On sale.
Even better!

Oh and there is no line at the cashier. This is my lucky day!

What the hell???

Well excuse you family of five..perhaps you have some emergency to get to?
Go ahead, by all means, take that cart that is CRAMMED FULL of stuff for your University student (damn University town) and butt right in front of me.

Manners much!

Good Grief ..you know when I am at the grocery store and someone comes up BEHIND me…I let them cut ahead. I let them play through. I am a courteous citizen of the world!! I was in front of you, besides, everyone knows 1 item to zip ding through is a whole lot faster then errrr 18.

zip beep….”Can I get a price check at 4”

Are you kidding me?
Foot starts tap tap tapping….

FAAAARRRTT

Huh?

Did he just?
Did they just?
Oh help…the toxic smell!

Man fart.
I must step back .

My stomach is threatening to reveal this mornings eggs.

Silent gagging…

This dude didn’t even flinch!
He didn’t try and hide the fact that he cut the cheese! He didn’t accidentally sneak a cheek, he just let er rip!
How much longer do I have to stand next to these line cutting stinkers??

“Would you like to sign up for our store credit card?”
They say yes!!

Huh? Sorry. Rude.

I am outtie.
No stupid gift bag is worth this kind of wait.
Life is too short to stand in this toxic cloud of poo smell created by random pushy strangers …..all in the name of a gift bag?
I’ll just use a freakin ribbon.

      I hate when people do that, I too let people with one or two items in if I have a poop load of stuff.

      OMG the nerve. And then the toxic ass dusting. I would have said “Um its bad enough you wouldn’t let the person with ONE ITEM go ahead of you so then you drop ass on me?” GROSS!!

      People. Ugh!

      I would have been out of there, too, before they managed even more of a stinking delay!

      Oh my gosh, you had me laughing so hard!! I can relate and totally understand your frustration with this sort of thing!! I always let someone cut ahead of me if they have so much less than what I have. It’s called courtesy but some people…well…they have just never heard of that word before in their lives. Ugh.

      Thanks for coming by my place! I am really enjoying your blog as well.

      Happy Friday!

      Michelle šŸ™‚

      That stinks!! (pardon the pun)

      Wow, I don’t know what I would have done in your place. I always wish I’d had the guts to say something when people are idiots like that but I never think of it at the time.

      September 17, 2009 at 8:31 pm

      Rude and stinky. Yuck! A double threat!

    13. Momma Such says

      September 17, 2009 at 8:11 pm

      OMG! How lucky for you! Ha ha! I would have left too!

    14. Secret Mom Thoughts says

      September 17, 2009 at 7:14 pm

      Wow that was beyond rude.

    15. Debbie says

      September 17, 2009 at 3:10 pm
