- Phylis & 'ipod girl' -

here's the walmart scene today...
`
i went alone to purchase groceries today & there were no less than 7000 people there & i'll bet 5000 of them brought screaming kids with them - [keep in mind i'd a migraine...yep, fun time for me!]
`
i was motoring along & just as i turned to walk up the cereal isle, i stopped to grab a bag of cereal - there was a lady [phylis] in front of me with her teen daughter that had earbuds in listening to her ipod [aka 'ipod girl'] - as i was stopped, they also stopped & phylis must have forgotten something as she came all the way back, behind me...leaving ipod girl & the cart in front of me - i was in noooooooo hurry at all [keep in mind i was 'alone', thus...noooooooo hurry]
`
i'd thought about passing ipod girl on the left, but a family was coming from that direction & being i was in no hurry, i thought i'd wait - it was at this time, ipod girl saw me & grabbed her cart & drug it over in to the other side of the isle, so i could pass easier - i thanked her, but was thinking, "girl, you didn't need to do that as i'm in noooooooo hurry" - she smiled & i went on, but then i hear someone screaming [yes, SCREAMING], "what the 'F' do you think you're doing lady??" - i turned around & phylis was talking to me!! - i said, "EXCUSE ME?" [with a jerkin' of my head...& yes ang, you'd have been proud!] - so she repeated it again, just as loud [thanks phylis!] - silence fell in the cereal isle & all eyes were on us
`
she said, "YOU MADE MY DAUGHTER DRAG OUR FULL CART ALL THE WAY OVER HERE [pointing where the cart sat] & YOU'D PLENTY OF ROOM TO GO AROUND ON THIS SIDE!!" - i waited until after she was completely done, so i could be assured i'd be heard *wink*
`
"well, for your information ma'am... your daughter was being very polite in even thinking of moving YOUR cart out of the way of where YOU left it - she saw that YOUR cart was blocking everyone else from getting through & she was being very helpful & moving YOUR cart & to that i say, 'thank you' [as i'm looking at ipod girl]
`
furthermore, i didn't ASK her to move anything for me as i'm in NOOOOOOOO hurry & was doing just fine waiting on YOU to move YOUR OWN cart from in the middle of the isle - i could've gone around YOUR cart where YOU left it, but there were other people coming & i didn't want to get in their way since i was in NOOOOOOOO hurry, i was just standing there - it was at that time your daughter saw me & tried to help
`
she didn't say anything, but instead got her cart & stormed off - grrr, i was so angry with her behavior & was thanking god i didn't have any of my little ones with me to hear her language - UGH...some people!
