So, today I am in the store with my 7yo (he stayed home "sick") picking up a few things when I get a call from my best friend. She knew I had an appt the other day and wanted an update. I was telling her what a joke it was etc etc ... Then we were making jokes about this and that, then got serious for a moment or two about the Lap Band.

She told me she understood why, and supported me 500% but she was scared for me etc. I was calming her down when this obnoxious twig of a twit buts in and tells me "You don't need gastric surgery, you are to small, and it is such a waste of military resources" ... I just looked at her and went back to my conversation with my best friend when this moron grabs my arm stands in front of me and tries to lecture me on diets.

At first I just smiled at her, and went to move around her, hoping my temper wont blow up infront of my son while this rabid twit is trying to lecture me. I told my friend to hang on a second and then let her have it after she tried to PHYSICALLY restrain me from walking around her.

Oh man I totally unloaded on her, I told her "you don't know me, you don't know what my medical history is, all you heard was a one sided conversation that was NONE of your business. I understand I am in a public place and everyone can hear me if they are close enough, I don't give a damn, but no one else is retarded enough to say anything to someone. You should take the cue, and not be a nosy nelly and mind your own damned business."

Now by this time my son is "mommy lets go lets go, I don't like her" So once again I go to move around her and she GRABS MY ARM AGAIN by this time I had had enough, I smacked her hand away from me, and told her that if she touch's me again not only would she go up on assault charges but I would make damned sure she never touched anyone else again. She went to grab my arm again and I said "don't" nothing else, just don't. She let her hand hover a moment then her one smart brain cell kicked over and she started crying and telling me she would pray for my mortal soul.

Now being the smart ass I am all I could say was "Lady, you should try to pray for your own before you start giving away your prayers, you need the help more then I".

As I am walking away I tell my best friend I have a boy to calm down and I will call her back, she is in shock that someone would actually do what that woman did. But we hang up and I start calming my son down and he is near to tears cause he was scared for me cause the "crazy lady" (his words not mine, I swear) wouldn't leave me alone. GRRRRRRR :regular_smile: what makes people think they can just do that stuff to other people? I mean REALLY, what person thinks that is ok??????????:confused2:

why would she say that stuff about the military?

are you a vet?

No, I am not a Vet, my hubby is in the AF, and this happened at one of the AAFES stores here on base. So, see its not always Wal-Mart that gets the crazy ladies (and men) ... LOL

Yeah but comissaries & exchanges are the enlisted person's version of Wal-Mart. :tongue2:

Ended up, he dumped his colostomy bag all over her car!!!

:puke:oh that is just so wrong.

Good Lord. Why can't people just live and let live???

Tell me it wasn't Wall-Mart.....If it was I rest my case. People in wal-mart are just strange.

First off, I'm going back to the Men's Room. You ladies are scaring me :tongue2:

Talking about Wal Mart, I think your theory holds Water. My wife was driving down the main aisle of our local Wal Mart and this older man shoots out of a side aisle and almost hits her. She continues on out to make a left onto the main road and he chases her, drives around her right and makes a left to cut her off. He proceeds to yell at her for not giving him the right of way and that he is a retired police officer and knows the laws, blah, blah, blah. She was so in shock that she didn't know how to react!

Some people are so....crazy. They do keep life interesting however. Donna

in all of these situations, you best believe i would have thrown down some verbal bitch slaps. i don't care...when people are rude and pigheaded (ie-kat's neighbor against big guy; your poor neighbor went out of her way to explain and that @$$hole still created a huge scene) or age...i know my momma taught me better, but that still doesn't make it okay for an old biddie to tell you "stuff". (like jlobyxmas, i'm on the same boat as you. i'll be the nicest person you know, but disrespect me or talk crap, oh you're so done for!!!) pix i know your son was with you, but oh man, that did take a lot of restraint! i hope you can get that episode out of your head sooner rather than later.

I think CRAZY person #2 beats CRAZY person#1 hands down..

Was sure an interesting read though.

I am with you on this point. (By the way I adore Hello Kitty...tres cool.) I am a complete flop when it comes to turning the other cheek. I am more of an eye for an eye grrl. I will never start a fight but I have no qualms about going in for the body blow. I sure would have verbally bitch smacked that old cow. She was cruisin' for a bruisin'....

But as fer Colostomy Boy, well there, argh, ugh, words fail me! I wouldn't have known what to do except maybe call the cops and call the media. What can anyone do with a pig like that except arrest him and expose him to public ridicule?

She was cruisin' for a bruisin'....

hahaha!!! that she was!

and p.s. sadly i did go to walmart today, and there's something about that place that turns people into ruthless animals...i should take my bat next time!:thumbdown:

I have a visual - you walking around Wal Mart swinging a bat . . . lol, we would be talking about YOU next time!

lol, i know...i'm soooooo bad:incazzato: but i'm serious, it was freaking crazy! i'm warning ALL OF YOU... take your bats to walmart!!

Walmart IS bad, but today, we had to go to the local Mall for some cell phone business. It was just as bad---worse in some ways.

It was an assault on my senses...

My DH got hurt at work day before yesterday, so he is not walking real well, so the closest place to enter the mall for the cell kiosk---was through Dillards.

We walked in, and my sinuses immediately stuffed up---all the perfumes and aftershaves all mingling and SOOOOO strong---it was horrid!

We get out, and have to stand next to a skate shop with music blaring----

The stinking fluorescent lights, are horrid in this mall---so even my eyes hurt!

And you could not take a step with out some stupid little pre teen trying to roll over you on their heelies. I thought that fad was over---it is making a resurgance here.

We got the phone dealt with, and DH said Let's walk down and have some lunch and a beer. We got 1/4 of the way there, and I just stopped and said I wanted the hell outta there!!! We come home, where it is quiet, the lights nor the music bothers me, and there are no brats trying to run me over. Plus the only perfume I have to smell would be my own....one single sparingly applied scent!!!

The mall has nothing on Walmart....or visa versa!

I must have been having a cranky day. I seriously wanted to trip one of the kids trying to run me down!!! I could picture sliding something under those wheels and watching them faceplant it in the mall with all their equally rude little buddies watching them!!

Good thing I come home, before I ended up a story here!!!

Kat

these stories are to funny. the one about the old guy is just horriable. man oh man, the things i would still be doing to that jerk off. God forbid that happened to me and i managed to get a hold of his address. oh, it would be onnnnnnnnnn.....i hate wal mart to . i also hate cell phones. i mean, HATE, HATE, HATE cell phones. i don't own one, never have, never will. it is something about them that , well, besides the wrecks i have almost been in by people talking on them while driving, that makes me go insane. i can be shopping and of course, down every lane, you have two or 10 people standing around with their buggies blocking the way for other customers while they are talking on their cell. i have to admit, when i say excuse me and they dont' budge cause they are to busy being inconsiderate and talking on the damn phone, i have rammed quite a few with my buggy. i just ram them and keep on going. man i hate those cell phones. i guess i am one of those crazy wal mart shoppers.
